I just bought a metal detector and it had a brand new never used Minelab pro find. I like it but I wish it vibrated a tad more. For those of you who have used both which do you prefer an why?

Thanks I will leach that when I get home from work.
Have never used the Minelab pointer and the No1 reason is the price,the X-pointer does seem to have a very large following albeit not in the same league sales wise as the Garrett,it does have some advantages being a Pulse based pointer but its not for me,the good old Garrett has never let me down and if it ever did die on me i would buy another non-waterproof version again and the reason is why change something that works,as i dont do detecting in or near water then a waterproof and hence the extra cost i cannot justify buying one.
Of course pinpointer all have good and bad points,but for me its the Garrett as it does everything and reliably as well,always carry a backup pinpointer anyway and was lucky i had a Whites BullsEye from years ago and once again that i found reliable as well but alas did not have that all important increase in sound the nearer the target feature that most pointers have.

I didn't see a Minelab in the test.
i bought the deteknic pin pointer on the 9-15-2014 and the micro on/off switch has died.the switch is faulty,turning on maybe,off well something is going to happen sooner or later,hmmmm!i think i voided the warranty by opening the carton and turning it on.looks pretty on the shelf.never again.emubob
