White's pinpointer

[ronhob]

They gave us a taste, now why not give us all the specifics.
(Maybe they haven't even made it yet, and wanted to get feedback on the proposed one to see what they "really" need to build.) JUST KIDDING of coarse, but a release date would be nice.

I thought I read somewhere that the release date was to be 2/14/'14.-----What I want to know is what the operating frequency is going to be on this pin pointer.

I saw somewhere that it is 12khz.

If it is, that should take care of the cross talk issue on the MXT, M6, MX5 (and Tesoro Compadre, to mention a few) that occurred when using either the Pro Pointer or Pro Find 45.---The Garrett Pro Pointer is running on what --around 13 kHz (about the same as the Minelab Pro Find 45).----So at 12 kHz, that should (hopefully) be enough spread to take care of that problem, at least on those mentioned detectors.

hope it is here soon.

I don't think they would pick 12kHz. The Propointer runs at 12kHz and gives the Whites machines fits especially the M6 and MXT's. The old Bullseye ran at 41kHz. Although the old Bullseye could be ran with most all machines it did lack in performance, ergonomics and automatic adjustments. I'm sure Whites has taken all this is consideration when designing this new machine.

 

[D&P-OR]

You are right Kenny---I just looked in the Pro Pointer owners manual and it is indeed running at 12 kHz and many of us know how it sets the Whites machines mentioned nuts.------It just plain wouldn't make any sense for Whites to select 12 kHz for their new product then.----I may give Whites a call Monday & see if I can find out the operating frequency.

On the other detector forum this was posted by a Whites engineer.

Hi DT, what number did you call, and do you know who you talked to? One of our 800 numbers routes you to the nearest distributor, not the factory. In any case, the PP runs at roughly 12kHz.

I think it does run at 12khz Mine does make my mx5 chatter slightly but not as bad as gpp. Good thing is it fits in my garrett sheath is more powerful and has a coulle nice options.

Wrong place, see below...

Indeed, the TRX runs at 12kHz, give or take. I did a lot of testing with various frequencies from 10-20kHz, and because all detectors can have slight variations in operating frequencies there is no magic solution. 12kHz worked better than anything else, overall.

 

[D&P-OR]

basstrackerman-------When you say more powerful than the Garrett Pro Pointer do you mean more depth--stronger vibrator--or both?----If more depth--what does the new Whites pin pointer air test a dime versus the Garrett Pro Pointer?----Is the Whites vibrator at least as strong as the Pro Pointer?------Last question---how the blazes did you get your hands on one already--are you a Whites tester??----I didn't think it was even released yet.

It certainly looks like a nice probe,i still use my BullsEye it just keep working,if you need a tester over here in the UK give us a shout,some of our roman and saxon sites can be rather demanding and require a reliable probe.

im a nobody.. someone nice just hooked me up one day.. since other pics came out I figured it was ok to show a comparison pic if the new whites and garrett pp whites is 1 inch longer... air tests 2 inches better on a quarter...vibration feels about the same...it tests the same no matter what batteries are in it... I can push the whites very hard into dirt without any falsing or just going off. I use it in my leather and standard sheath for my pro pointer and it fits fine to me. its tip sensitive which is nice and since it goes deeper surface targets should make for less digging..

 

[D&P-OR]

Well now that is great news!---Thanks for that info Bill.-----The two things I wanted most in a new pin pointer was a little more depth than the Pro Pointer gives AND as strong a vibrator that the Pro Pointer has.-----The Minelab Pro Find 45 had a tad bit better depth but had such a puny strength vibrator.---No sounding off (falsing) when pushed into the dirt in the hole sounds great to---something the Garretts was bad about (at least the ones I had).-----This new Whites is sounding good---getting eager to give it a go.

Did you design it to run with most other manufacturers machines? When will we see a machine similar to the ATP but better?

I think whites already has a few that are better.. if you mean "water" whites has the beach hunter 300, surfmaster PI Dual Field. As far as "land" the ATP can't touch the V series in any way. jmo. but to each their on. GL&HH

I've had two BHID's and they are too heavy and lack TID, Notch and the ability to change out the coils. It's a nice machine for dedicated water hunting. I think it speaks volumes at the success of the ATP. I just figured the other manufacturers would give us some fresh choices in the amphibious machines.

Isnt the BHID submersible to crazy depths? I think this may have something to do with not changing out coils. It also has target tone ID and Discrimination.

The BHID is more a serious treasure hunting detector, like for those exploring shipwrecks and for people that dive, hence the heavier weight.
