metaldetectingtaylor Valued Member 136 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 1:40 pm I'm looking to buy another pinpointer probe and just curious and what your takes are on different ones. I have a fisher probe now and its nice to stick in the ground on the account of it being so skinny. Although I hear the Garrett pro pointer and the Detector Probe Pistol are pretty good. My Fisher only reads at about an inch away and I'm looking for one that reads farther down. Much Thanks! :) Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 4:38 pm I have the Garrett pro pointer. It works good for what I need. You can't stick it into the ground though, just loose sand. This one also reads a target at about an inch away. Report this Post to the Staff

cyberdan Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 09/04/2009 11:42 am I have a white's pinpointer, it fits real good in my back jean's pocket while hunting. The thing I dont like is that when I first turn it on it only has a short range of about 1/2" and after it is on a few seconds the range gets bigger to more than an inch. Or if I turn it on and touch my digging tool with the probe the range gets bigger. I mentioned this to a whites dealer and he said it was designed to be that way. It is a good pinpointer. It drives me crazy when it sounds off and I still can not find the metal. Most of the time it turns out to be a BB or something that tiny. Report this Post to the Staff
