Metal Detector Pinpointer - SUNPOW IP68 Waterproof Handheld Pin Pointer Wand with Belt Holster Treasure Hunting Tool Accessories, pinpointers for metal detecting, Buzzer Vibration Sound (Three Mode)

I thought it was going to feel cheap, surprised to find it's well made, chunky, easy to use, waterproof and Accurate...feels like a quality Pinpointer. Battery life will depend on use...It has 3 modes inc vibrate, LCD Screen, good sensitivity detection....why would i want to pay 6-7 times this amount for a named Brand that basically does the same job...I'm on a budget as a beginner detectorist and this is ideal for my needs...I do however intend to get a rechargeable 9v battery which will cut the overall cost of buying batteries..A basic 9v battery is included with this Pinpointer, a velcro pouch holder, And a soft fleece bag to keep it clean and protected.

Mostly this has been a great pinpointer, contrary to what others have said:1. It does beep faster as you get closer to the metal2. You can change between beep with vibration and just vibration3. It is now waterproofSo the issue... As others have also reported, it randomly will decide to just keep beeping as soon as you turn it on. You can still just about use it because it will beep even faster when close to an object, but you loose that first level of detection because usually that first beep tells you that you are near.For the life of me I cannot figure out what causes it. Tried new batteries, removed the circuit board to check for loose wires, tried holding down the power button in case it resets the ground balance, but nothing. And then magically it will just work normally again.It's a shame because now I don't feel I can trust it to be ready when I need it and will be looking for a new one. I would love to recommend it, but as I'm not the only person reporting this issue its clearly a common fault.UPDATE:I just couldn't let it go, my engineer brain wasn't happy.... the issue is a tuning issue and can be remedied it seems. To 'fix' the issue take a small metal object and hold it near the LED before you turn it on (you might need to experiment with the position), it should now turn on and be silent. At that moment in time it is tuned WITH the metal object there and removing the object will give you a pinpointer with very low sensitivity (less than a inch!).If you now turn it off, remove the metal object and turn it back on, it should be back to normal. Failing that you can permanently keep a metal object in that location, ideally slightly adjustable in position.Waterproofing:This is an update (July 2021), the latest model now has fixed the waterproofing issues. Previously the LED was pushed against a hole in the body of the pointer. That hole now has a waterproof resin seal over it. They have also upgraded the rubber seal on the lid.Final words:When it works and stays working, it really does have great sensitivity. The light is so useful that I can use this perfectly well in the dark as my only light source when looking for the find. If you happen to find yourself owning one of these then you will not be disappointed if you know how to keep it operating correctly.July 2021: I now have the latest model. So far it is working perfectly. If it develops the beep issue again i will let you know, but this latest model is upgraded and better than the last one.

It's feels good and detects at a good distance from the tip ,don't know if it will last, only time will tell .

Took this pinpointer along with the main metal detector for a day out treasure hunting. It’s small and light, so easy to carry on a belt or in a bag. Used it to narrow down the exact spot after the main detector found something, which made digging much quicker and less messy. The probe picks up coins and small metal bits easily, even in sand and shallow water. Tried all three modes,vibration is handy for quiet places, and the sound mode is loud enough for busy areas. Fully waterproof, so had no worries using it by the river and even dipped it in to check for finds under water. One button operation keeps things simple, and battery lasted the whole day. Very pleased. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would certainly recommend. Great value for the price.

Have to say, well worth the money… for the job I needed it for, anyway. My wife lost an earring (very precious to her) in some heavy ground cover foliage. The rough area was 3ft X 3ft. We both searched for 15minutes. No joy. She was upset but resigned herself to acceptance that the tiny piece was lost forever. The earring was unique and irreplaceable. I told her not to worry. I jumped on here and researched the number of buys/stars and read the reviews good and bad. I knew I could get the exact same item through T-E-m-u for half the price but a lengthy delivery time. After this thing arrived I set to work without her knowing. After 5 minutes I got a strong signal. A buried piece of tin can. I widened my search and eventually got a weak bet very pinpoint signal… and there it was. She was gobsmacked when she arrived home. If you need it now, buy it here. If it can wait a week or so, don’t. Hope they print this.

Easy to use for metal detecting and a nice size for adults and children. Good value for money and fun to use. Noise level good and display.

Great pin pointer! There always been something there when digging when this gadget goes off
