    CTX Pinpoint trace shapes on the screen

    CTX 3030
    I noticed yesterday that when using pinpoint trace different targets make different shapes on the screen. Has anyone noticed any patterns which indicate what lies beneath before digging?
    Twice iron signals gave a long trace like a lightening bolt that stretched from top to bottom of the screen on a slant.
    One copper penny close to the surface gave a sausage shape and all the others that gave a trace were roundish or clumped together!
    Any thoughts or ideas appreciated here, apologies if it's been mentioned before

    Pete!

    When did you buy a CTX? Looks like it is a really good machine.
    Iwas on my way to buy it, but since I guess it is rather complicated to pull apart I choose the Etrac instead.

    I often use my bicycle for taking me to the places I want to detect and carry the detector in a backpack.
    Well I looking forward to see the machine in real life and of course you as well:-)

    Take care mate

    See ya soon.

    Michael

    Still no sign of the Bliss mate!
    Happy to give you a hand drinking some of that whisky though! A few shots around the campfire might work?
