In praise of the pinpointer

[DaveNV]

In a recent package deal with a member, I received a Nokta RS pinpointer. Up to this time, I'd been using a Garrett Pro Pointer. It was OK, but had a tendency to "false" if you torqued it in the ground. I used the Nokta a few times and was pleasantly surprised on how accurate and easy to use it was. So. I sold the ProPointer. Then, I became aware of the new Nokta Pointer: I ordered it and now use it, exclusively. It comes with a belt sheath, two replaceable tips, a really nice carrying case, and a finds bag. It has a light, is submersible to 3 feet, and best of all, you can increase or decrease the sensitivity of the pointer. If I'm hunting in grassy areas where I don't expect to find old/valuable coins, I prefer to use a screwdriver to locate the coins--the probe and dig method. Sometimes, in the small hole I make with the driver, the pointer will sound-off, but I have no idea which way to dig. By decreasing the sensitivity, I am able to tell which side of the hole the object is located, which is a real time- and work-saver.
This is an unsolicited testimonial: I have no stock in, nor do I sell Nokta products (in fact, I don't retail anything). Just thought I'd pass on my experience, for the benefit of anyone who is looking for a quality product.
HH,
Dave

Good review, Dave. The new Nokta pp looks nice, but as I understand it you turn it on and off at the base which seems less efficient. Is that location inconvenient for you at all when you're using it?

thanks Dave.

anyone used the pro pointer AT have they fixed the falsing problem from the old pro pointer ? I mean the old ones are a lucky dip.

Yes, the on/off switch is on the end of the pointer. That is the one thing I don't like about it; it is a clumsy process to turn it off and on, but one soon gets used to it.

Some good feedback on that pinpointer,i personally use the Garrett original version and not the Garrett Carrot and msut admit have never had any problems with mine and have been using it most weekends for some years and apart from changing the battery it still works the same as the day it arrived,also have a Whites probe and once again never had any problems with that one either .

I guess i must be dead lucky with probes but the prices are starting to get really crazy for these latest ones,still not sure about the buttons on the end of the probe,i guess they must have done it for a reason other wise its a bad design fault,feedback from other members are also very good about this specif model but also i am wondering if folks have not bought them due to this button location thing.

Well done on your new probe,at the moment if my current Garrent probe packed up i think i would still buy another one either the original or possibly the latest offering if i could find a decent deal on the price.

How do you put those replaceable tips on? I have on and cant figure it out.

 

[DaveNV]

They just snap on and off.
