I received my Garrett ProPointer last Tuesday and have not had the opportunity to try it out except in tests at the house. Really works good and I look forward to using it in the field. My question is: Can you use something like this like you would a pocket probe? Will it scan coins hidden in old books like the pocket probe?

propointer question
- Thread starter fongu
- Start date
Yes sireeee - it's a pinpointer.
[added] if your referring to the Uni-Probe, it's not the same detection distance. To increase the ProPointer distance, when it is turned on, take a metal item (penny) and hold it against the housing near the battery end. I hold it with the thumb against it. Then slowly slide the penny toward the tip till it just beeps, then just back it off till it just goes quiet. When I do this, the penny is nearly to the LED light. Now the detection distance is increased.
Be sure your battery is good.

Yes it will scan anything within the limits of its depth, including walls.

Also, within a certain time limit, the longer you leave it turned on the deeper it will detect. Time limits may vary from unit to unit.
