Bounty Hunter Pinpointer for Metal Detecting with Audio Signal and Vibration – Handheld Precision Tool for Accurate Target Location

After you locate and dig the hole this pin pointer really locates the object quickly. If your detector doesn't come with a pin pointer then this is definitely needed. And this is a really good one. I don't think you need to spend more to get better. This works like a champ. Doesn't make a lot of noise just vibrates after locating the object. Wouldn't want to metal detect without it. One 9-volt battery. Can't go wrong with it. This is an update just to let you know some people say the battery cap falls off time to time. Not mine. If you connect the wires to the battery and insert it with the wires going towards the inside the cap fits right and doesn't fall off.

Bought this recently I really like it. It vibrates really nice in your hand when it gets towards metal and it works as advertised. I just wish it had like a beeping sound RCH

Getting back into metal detecting I wanted one of these pointers. After watching numerous YouTube videos I knew about what to expect from this particular style pinpointer. And the one I got has pretty much the limited range as was depicted in the videos. The probe almost needs to be touching a piece of metal to detect it. Larger metal chunks are easier than tiny ones. And depending on the soil, certain soils can make it more difficult for the probe to detect metal. So why get something that isn't the most powerful tool available? In my case it was because this one was 1/5 the price of the top shelf unit. Maybe later I will save up and get a more expensive pinpointer, but for now this one suits my needs and my limited budget. I was expecting because of the low price to maybe be getting a knock-off brand device, but the Pinpointer I received came with an instruction sheet with the First Texas Products branding on it, so I have to assume it is a genuine product. I have one of their Fisher brand detectors and I'm very happy with it.

I might be a bit biased, but this little metal detector saved me some decent money and the wrath of my wife. You see, we just got married. When we were buying wedding bands, I chose the comfortable but slightly snug fit. Of course with my vaaaast history of wearing rings, I decided to ignore my wife's comments about getting it smaller because it seemed too loose. Well, winter came a long; and as I was cleaning the snow off the car window with my bare hands, the ring flew off my finger and into the snow. Fail! Lost the ring, and definitely deserved a "told you so" from my wife. I spent hours looking for it. Even when the snow started to melt, I couldn't find it. So, in order to salvage what little dignity I had, I bought this little device as a long shot. Well, I found it in about 5 minutes. Victory! Its range is pretty short. We are talking less than 1 inch from the tip. But if you know where you are looking, it works well. It is not the best idea for large patches. Honestly, I probably got a bit lucky, but I felt pretty sure it was in a 6 foot radius from my car windshield. It may really only deserve 4 stars, but how can I not give it 5 with a story like that?

I bought this unit in the hopes of finding gold. It picks up all kinds of other things, poptop tabs, bottle caps, rusty nails, rusty bolts and nuts, rusty tin cans. But the one thing I want it to detect is GOLD. I have been searching for months using this detector, thinking it just wasn't finding anything. Then, recently, I got some gold, in sizes that I would expect to find in the ground. The detector would not sound off on anything I ran across. I have gold in very small sizes that you normally find in real life. I have some "pickers" that are not quite big enough to be called a nugget, but big enough to pick up with your fingers. The bounty hunter just would not sound off, even right up against the gold. I am disappointed to say the least.

Bought this unit and have never looked back. Like the fact that it vibrates rather than beeps. I've read some reviews that complained that the probe had to practically touch the object before it would sound off. I have not found that to be the case. Yes, it could be better. I'd like to see a pushbutton on/off switch, a screw on battery compartment cap, and maybe a molded ring on the butt end for a tether clip, but those features would make the unit far more expensive. Spend all the money you want, but for less than $50, you won't find a better pinpointer. One more thing, the Fisher and Teknetics line of detectors are built in the same factory by the same folks that make the Bounty Hunter line. The company is called First Texas Products. Their machines come with a 5 year warranty, which I believe is the longest warranty in the industry. You might bear that in mind the next time some snob tells you Bounty Hunter products are trash.

I received the pinpointed in time frame stated when buying. Just getting into metal detecting, and so far this things works great! I am pleased.

I live in Northern Florida and most of the soil (if you can call it that) is SAND. I either have to sift most of the stuff I find with my Gold Digger metal detector or I got smart and purchased the Bounty Hunter Pinpointer Metal Detector which I did. Like it says in the listing, PINPOINTER. People give this item bad reviews because they are so used to finding things with their metal detector which is a lot stronger than the PINPOINTER and are misled by thinking this is a stand-a-lone metal detector. This is only to use to find something that your METAL DETECTOR has already hit on. I use the Pinpointer by sticking it into the soil after I have dug it up and just go from side to side in rows until I get a hit. MY VERY FIRST FIND WITH THE PINPOINTER WAS A 1936 LIBERTY DIME IN THE WOODS ACROSS FROM MY HOUSE IN ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WAS ONCE THE WORLDS LARGEST AMPHIBIOUS TRAINING FACILITY IN WORLD WAR TWO. CAMP GORDON JOHNSTON! THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS PINPOINTER IS THE END POPPING OFF. BUT THAT CAN BE REMEDIED WITH TAPE. AND ACTUALLY IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO TAPE IT ANYWAYS TO PREVENT DIRT AND CORROSION FROM ENTERING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT ESPECIALLY HERE IN FLORIDA WHERE RUST IS PROMINENT.

Se ajusta a la descripcion del producto,lo unico que esperaba que viniera con la pila, vino sin embalaje de la caja del fabricante solo en una bolsa (la caja del paquete de amazon si k llevaba)

This is an excellent product, it works very well. It is a good size and easy to carry with you. Metal detecting is easier with a pin pointer. I love this product and use it all the time.

Déçu, il ne correspond pas du tout a ce a quoi je m'attendais. Trop fragile mais surtout très faible. Je l'ai renvoyé.

よくある地中の金属を探知するための探知器は、左右に動かしながら探している間は反応するんですが、動かすのを止めると反応しません。こちらの探知器は動かさなくても反応しますが、反応範囲がピンポイントなので広範囲を探すのには向きません。両者使い分けると便利です。

Finde den Pinpointer klasse ! Vereinfacht das suchen nach dem orten mit der Sonde...hab keinen Vergleich mit nem Anderen. Funktonieren tut das Ding aber prima :) Könnte mir nicht vorstellen das ein anderer Pinipointer den Zweck besser erfüllt !
