Question about Bullseye pinpointer

[Robert2300]

A while back there were some issues with the
Whites Bullseye pinpointer. Has that been resolved?

Is anyone Whites pinpointer? I know a lot of people
are using Garretts Pro-pointer but just how reliable is
The bullseye?

It's the same as always. However, word is a new and improved pinpointer is being released by White's this year.
No word if it is inline like the Sun Ray or hand held like the Garrett.

I used the bullseye for a couple years and then recently swapped to the Garretts. I didn't even realize what I had been missing. The Garrett's will pinpoint a target 3 inches below the surface before you even start to dig. Makes locating and recovery so much quicker. The bullseye had issues with the button for me and you pretty much had to be right on a target to get a reading. I highly recommend the Garrets pinpointer. You will not be disappointed.

I never had a problem with my new one but the older ones I did a little on the switch. The new one I have works just fine. Tim

15 years ago. It worked, but there wasn't as much competition. It was just the bulky, squarish size. The BullsEye II pinpointer felt a lot better and I liked the performance a tiny bit better.

I was never much of a "must have" guy for hand-held pinpointers as I found stuff easily without them. I'd get, try, and part with most brands that came along. Then I got a Garrett Pro-Pointer and I liked it. The feel in the hand was good, and the coin-depth was some of the best for the hand-held models. I kept it on my detecting gear belt until winter when someone called and asked if I carried the Garrett Pro-Pointer, and I don't. But, they were headed out-of-tow, I pamper my gear, so I sold them mine.

Besides, I started using the latest BullsEye II pinpointer because I found those I have had sine last fall to be a little better, depth-wise, to my earlier BullsEye II's. I have been selling the BullsEye II a lot this past half-year, and plan to until a better product comes along. It will, that I know. One thing I like about the BullsEye II is that when I am out in the rural areas w/o people (mainly kids), I can select the audio response. In an urban situation, I don't like any audio beep as it tends to draw a lot of little ones who get under-foot. Here I simple select the vibrate setting and they can't hear it.

The current BullsEye II pinpointer is working fine, and we really ought to make sure we learn to pinpoint well with the detector and coil in the first place, then we'll seldom need the hand-held tool.

I have a friend who just bought the ACe 250. She's having
a devil of a hard time finding her target. She can't afford the
Garrett Pro Pointer. I saw the Bulls Eye (not the Bullseye !!)
on sale for $79.00 but didn't want to have her buying something
that was going to be a problem.
