Went through two Garrett ProPointers and they both went bonkers. Apparently I'm not the only one having that problem with the black ProPointers. Took the one apart to inspect it; then ruined it putting it back together. Everything looked fine under the glass, but it just wasn't stable. Tried the nickel-under-the-cap trick; tried de-tuning it by holding it on the ground when powering it up; tried separating it from my AT Pro - even using it without my detector. Nothing. Just horribly unstable.
Nothing more aggravating then getting out in the field and your equipment going bonkers on you.
I'd like to send the newer one off for service, but I haven't yet found the contact point for Garrett equipment.
In the meantime, I'm in the market for a new PP. Reading good things about the Garrett PP AT, but reluctant to give them any more $$$ for their fails. I definitely will not get burnt by a knock-off from COVID-land.
Down to:
1. Nokta Makro: $85
2. White's TRX Bullseye: $150
3. Fisher F Pulse: $129
4. Minelab Profind 35: $129
5. Garrett PP AT (carrot): $128
6. Teknetics Tek-Point: $129
Thoughts?
