Garrett Propointer causing interference on my Sidewinder

[88junior]

I took my newly acquired Sidewinder out yesterday and it performed great. The only trouble I had was when I used my Propointer the Sidewinder would make a sizzling sound which is pretty irritating have any you got any tips or tricks to fix this problem? Thanks

You could try thumbing your sensitivity down as you set the machine down to dig.

Lay the detector down at a 90degree angle to you and the target putting the coil as far from the pinpointer as practical.

I tried that BB and it still sounded like bacon sizzling, I didn't think to try turning my sensitivity down I will try that on my next hunt.

Well no wonder they don't like one another they both run on 12 kHz. I wish I had a frequency shift on my Sidewinder dag nab it.

My Pro Pointer made the Compadre go nuts if the disc was low. It was pretty annoying!
