Pro Pinpointer...have you noticed.....?

[Robert2300]

I've had my Pro Pinpinter a couple three years now. Great
instrument, but as of late I have noticed that when
I probe the hole and press to hard, the pointer wants to
go off just a little. Makes a faint sound . It never used to do that.
Has anyone noticed this about theirs. It's not really a problem
but I can't help but wonder if it's just too old now after only 3 yeaqrs
of use.

No- mine don't do that, and it's 4-5 yr old, don't know if it beeps or not, but it vibrates ok, I'm deafer'n a stump, so i just feel the vibration, and have the Killer B's cranked up.

have had my for two years now ..sent it back in after the first two months for the same reason ... the garrett technition said that is normal to sound off when pressure was applied to the tip of the probe..

Ahhhh. Well I'n in good company then.
I'm not totally deaf yet but I do have a problem hearing
mine as well. Think I'll try it on vibrate.
