Garrett Pro Pointer

[TimC]

Yesterday I bought one, today I tried it, the Pro Pointer. I must say that If I paid TWICE the price I did it would be worth it! I paid slightly less than suggested retail price. For me, I see the Pro Pointer reducing plug digging by 90%. "X" marks the spot... my prob hit the coins, usually, on the first push. When I did dig a plug, I didn't have to divide it. The Pointer told me where in the plug the target was! That made for a cleaner replacement.

Of course, a couple SMALL design negs (IMO). There is no volume control. I covered the speaker port, with my thumb, to quiet it down so as to lessen the "I am here" effect. The other is the LED light is on all the time. Small power drain, I'm sure, but I don't do alot of detecting at night. An indicator next to the "on" switch might be better.

For me, the Pointer eliminates the need to hit pin-point on the detector. The Pointer is more accurate.

I too use mine all the time. It saves soooooo much time and keeps me from scratching my finds. Well, usually anyways

I like mine so much I'm going to get a second one so I can keep one with each detector that I park hunt with. The pro pointer has saved me a lot of dig time . I like the detune feature on it .

I just bought one on Ebay. Hasn't got here yet. I have a Garrett GTAx1000 and not in love with the pinpoint on it.
Seems like it takes forever sometimes to locate.

I've got the Garret ProPointer and I love it too! I have no idea what I'd do without it. It keeps me from having to dig plugs at least 75% of the time. As someone else said, the detuning feature is very nice as well (great for determining that your target is actually a huge soda can).

This pinpointer is well worth the money. I paid $125 for mine at a local hobby shop.
