It saves time locating the target, and reduces the hole size.
I have used a number over the years. I have a Sunray on my CZ and it is tied to that detector series only. But it discriminates
and has more depth than most, not all 'pointers. Right now partner & I are using X-Pointers; they are Pulse, splash proof, good depth,
and under $100 delivered-got them from Big Boys Hobbies.
An alternative might be to carry a 4-5" loop with you, and if having difficulty, connect it to the detector for pinpointing.[done this in the past]
(Check Find's Classified if you consider this route.)
Buying another detector......depends on what price range you are at now, and how much you are willing to spend.

I would not try to detect without a pin pointer. I would be frustrated out of my mine as Coins turn the color of the dirt and are extremely hard to see. You can get a used one for less than a hundred bucks. Well worth the investment.
A pinpointer also reduces damage to the turf...especially when the target is in the plug or shallow. Prior to getting a pinpointer my only choice was to cut apart the plug and wave the cut pieces over the coil to find the target. This kills the turf.
With a pinpointer on a shallow target I can cut a tiny plug or slit or pop the target with a screwdriver with little to no impact on the turf. And for targets deeper in the plug the pinpointer allows the target to be located without cutting the plug apart and only minimal disturbance to the roots. Again low turf impact.
In order to keep detecting from getting banned a pinpointer is a must since it reduces or eliminates turf impact.
It also speeds target recovery a nice side benefit.
