Garrett Pro Pointer

I am aware this is NOT the Garrett forum......but a Bounty Hunter man ticked off at his "supposed to be the best of the best" Garrett Pro Pointer is posting this. Sorry for bringing one of "those" subjects to our forum site.

**************************************************

I am about to return my Garrett Pro Pointer for the following issues (which seem to be common):

1) The unit falsely beeps and vibrates if I use too much pressure on the tip. I understand the tip is not designed for “excessive” pressure. I am talking about pressing the unit’s tip into a pile of loose soil…..not compacted and hard.

2) Sometimes the unit continues to beep and vibrate even after it has been removed from the hole and is no longer near a metal object.

3) Sometimes the on/off button has to be pressed multiple time in order to turn the unit on and get it to remain on.

4) When my first battery was depleted, the unit failed to give me a low voltage tone to warn me until just before it shut down. I'm not sure if that's the way the unit is designed to work or not. I expected it to warn me maybe 15-20 minutes or so before it would shut down.

My pointer is only 6 months old. We'll see how well they stand behind their product.

HH y'all.

Frank,
Even though I have a pinpointer, I rarely use it anymore. Using my plug popper to dig the hole, I simply use the detector to scan both the plug and the hole to make sure I recovered everything. This way, I don't miss anything.

We've been having so much rain I doubt I will be able to get out before my pin pointer is back......starting to think I might live in Washington!! LOL
But I'm like you, I like the quick "stop-n-pop" finds.

HH Walt.

Keep your receipts! I bought 2 Garrett PP for my son and I. Mine went haywire and I called Garrett. They asked if I had the receipt and I told them no but they were less than 6 months old. When the lady asked for the serial numbers I was told my pin-pointers were made in 2005. So I was out of luck because I did not keep my receipt. My fault? I guess but who would buy a 2005 vehicle for a 2014 price? Keep your receipts! I now have the receipt for my TRX pinpointer. HH :minelab:
