Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I am a novice just starting off with a new hobby of metal detecting/coin shooting! I realized after watching a few utube videos that I would really need a handheld pinpointer to supplement my regular metal detector. I looked around on the internet and was surprized to find many of these cost more than my beginner detector! But then I found this one.....lightweight, easy to use, and reasonably affordable! It is made of plastic, all black and looks like it will be easy to clean. I bought it off ebay for about 30 % less than manuf. listed retail price and even got free shipping! Uses 1 9V battery which I found on sale at Walgreens (lucky me!). Anywho, I popped the battery in and did some air testing with it. No buried or dirty items and here is what I found. You need to adjust the sensitivity with the knob to where it just stops humming/vibrating. Bring it up to a metal object (I tried it on gold ring, silver ring, coins in my pocket, belt buckle) and at about 1/2 inch it activates, that is to say beeeeeep and vibrates. I tried larger metal objects and at the same setting it activated at 3/4 inch....so it works fine.
Do not expect to use this item as a digging probe as the tip is flexible and if you try, you might just snap it off. But it is what it is...an electronic probe, should work just fine for finding that dirty coin in the hole or the dirt I just dug out. Oh, also the sound is not really loud or irritating...to me that is good as I do not wish to disturb anyone around me while coin shooting.
