Pinpointing Tips With The Garrett Pro Pointer:detecting:

[John-Edmonton]

The ability to detune your Garrett ProPointer is also good when you are searching for a small target near a large metal target item, say a metal pipe from a set of swings. If you detune the ProPointer, you can still pick up a small target such as a ring, without having the ProPointer sound off to the large pipe. An electronic Pulse Induction pin-pointer that sounds off on a ring sized target from 6+ inches is practically useless when working around playground equipment. If you actually need an electric pin pointer to find a target from the center of your searchcoil 6+ inches, you really need to practice your coil pinpointing abilities before using any electric pin-pointer.

Excellent video. By the way, I almost lost my propointer today... No more stuffing it in my lower pocket, original holder on belt mandatory from now on...

Great refresher video, and the detuning near the playground equipment is sage advice, thanks John!! Yeah Fabio, a lost Pro-Pointer would leave me miserable

Mine always get placed right back in my lefthand deep, primary pocket in my Wranglers. I certainly won't be going to the belt holster, as I have to expect is where most lost Propoiinters were lost from over time,,,besides those simply(as odd is it is to me!) left laying on the ground after a hole was filled and just walked away from. I've not even come close to losing one of mine since 2010.

I would lose my pro pointer if I didn't keep it in the holster. I just have to remember to take the holster off my garrett finds bag before I go into the water.
