Pinpointer for Metal Detecting with Audio Signal and Vibration – Handheld Precision Tool for Accurate Target Location

After you locate and dig the hole this pin pointer really locates the object quickly. If your detector doesn't come with a pin pointer then this is definitely needed. And this is a really good one. I don't think you need to spend more to get better. This works like a champ. Doesn't make a lot of noise just vibrates after locating the object. Wouldn't want to metal detect without it. One 9-volt battery. Can't go wrong with it. This is an update just to let you know some people say the battery cap falls off time to time. Not mine. If you connect the wires to the battery and insert it with the wires going towards the inside the cap fits right and doesn't fall off.

I received the pinpointed in time frame stated when buying. Just getting into metal detecting, and so far this things works great! I am pleased.

Geeat pinpointer , good quality as expected by bounty hunter!

Getting back into metal detecting I wanted one of these pointers. After watching numerous YouTube videos I knew about what to expect from this particular style pinpointer. And the one I got has pretty much the limited range as was depicted in the videos. The probe almost needs to be touching a piece of metal to detect it. Larger metal chunks are easier than tiny ones. And depending on the soil, certain soils can make it more difficult for the probe to detect metal. So why get something that isn't the most powerful tool available? In my case it was because this one was 1/5 the price of the top shelf unit. Maybe later I will save up and get a more expensive pinpointer, but for now this one suits my needs and my limited budget. I was expecting because of the low price to maybe be getting a knock-off brand device, but the Pinpointer I received came with an instruction sheet with the First Texas Products branding on it, so I have to assume it is a genuine product. I have one of their Fisher brand detectors and I'm very happy with it.

Works well - just remember to take the batteries out after the summer before storage

I got this to help me with my gold nugget hunting. I had recently watched one of those shows they have on air about people who dig up artifacts/relics and they use these things to help them pinpoint the location of the object the find initially with their metal detectors. If you have ever used your metal detector to find small objects, like gold nuggets, you know that it is a slow process to dig and then run your scoop over the detector to find the item making your detector respond. This process can be very tedious and time consuming. I thought the Pinpointer would help with this due to what I had seen on the TV about these sort of devices. The problem with the Pinpointer that I found out after using it is that the pinpointer has to essentially be touching the item to make it go off. I had hoped that if I got close, say within a few inches, it would go off. This thing hasn't made that tedious chore any easier. At least with the cost of this pinpointer, I didn't waste too much money. Learning curve.

Bought this unit and have never looked back. Like the fact that it vibrates rather than beeps. I've read some reviews that complained that the probe had to practically touch the object before it would sound off. I have not found that to be the case. Yes, it could be better. I'd like to see a pushbutton on/off switch, a screw on battery compartment cap, and maybe a molded ring on the butt end for a tether clip, but those features would make the unit far more expensive. Spend all the money you want, but for less than $50, you won't find a better pinpointer. One more thing, the Fisher and Teknetics line of detectors are built in the same factory by the same folks that make the Bounty Hunter line. The company is called First Texas Products. Their machines come with a 5 year warranty, which I believe is the longest warranty in the industry. You might bear that in mind the next time some snob tells you Bounty Hunter products are trash.

I might be a bit biased, but this little metal detector saved me some decent money and the wrath of my wife. You see, we just got married. When we were buying wedding bands, I chose the comfortable but slightly snug fit. Of course with my vaaaast history of wearing rings, I decided to ignore my wife's comments about getting it smaller because it seemed too loose. Well, winter came a long; and as I was cleaning the snow off the car window with my bare hands, the ring flew off my finger and into the snow. Fail! Lost the ring, and definitely deserved a "told you so" from my wife. I spent hours looking for it. Even when the snow started to melt, I couldn't find it. So, in order to salvage what little dignity I had, I bought this little device as a long shot. Well, I found it in about 5 minutes. Victory! Its range is pretty short. We are talking less than 1 inch from the tip. But if you know where you are looking, it works well. It is not the best idea for large patches. Honestly, I probably got a bit lucky, but I felt pretty sure it was in a 6 foot radius from my car windshield. It may really only deserve 4 stars, but how can I not give it 5 with a story like that?

Se ajusta a la descripcion del producto,lo unico que esperaba que viniera con la pila, vino sin embalaje de la caja del fabricante solo en una bolsa (la caja del paquete de amazon si k llevaba)

Ca fonctionne, mais la qualité fait vraiment cheap. C'est du plastoc très léger et fin. Ca fait l'affaire, mais c'est vraiment un bout de plastique avec des piles dedans.

This is an excellent product, it works very well. It is a good size and easy to carry with you. Metal detecting is easier with a pin pointer. I love this product and use it all the time.

Finde den Pinpointer klasse ! Vereinfacht das suchen nach dem orten mit der Sonde...hab keinen Vergleich mit nem Anderen. Funktonieren tut das Ding aber prima :) Könnte mir nicht vorstellen das ein anderer Pinipointer den Zweck besser erfüllt !

Nel complesso va bene. Si fa il lavoro abbastanza bene. Sensibilità da regolare spesso, perché il pulsante puo essere accidentalmente spostato frequentemente. Il coperchio della batteria per essere catturati con del nastro adesivo, perché dopo un po 'tende a muoversi fuori del suo posto. Il plastico di cui è costruito è solido, duro. Ho comprato con uno sconto sotto 40 euro, credo che questo prezzo è ragionevole, di più sarebbe troppo. Distanza di rilevamento per monete è di circa due centimetri.
