You dont have to spend a ment on a pinpointer to start out. I was using a little wizzard II from harbor freight. Wood workers use them to find nails in old lumber. Its sensitive to about 2" or so. The cost is only about $15 and is great for sandy areas. They arent water proof and not made for abuse, but hey for $15 its good to start with. I now have a vibra probe.
Your certainly right there mate.
The the guy in the earlier post that said that you spend
less time digging, partly true. Only if you have the targets in the first place.
For someone who is just starting out I would say SAVE YOUR MONEY & DONT BUY ONE.
How are you going to get to know your machine by useing a pinpointer.
I very rarely use my homemade one ( cost about $2 )
From the sounds of these bought ones bullseye etc 1inch range!! My homemade one (black &
decker!! ) is tuneable from touching the object right up to 2 plus inches.And thats with a coin!!
The bullseyes etc are not waterproof, I dont think any are.
So if you do really need one go out & buy yourself a cheap wizzard or make/modify one.
I have heard nothing but bad news about these bullseyes etc and think that they are an over
priced " extra "that one can do without.
Have made ALL my recent finds WITHOUT the " help " of one.There on here, and a lot where
real small objects, but with patience,pinpointing-WITH YOUR MACHINE!! and a keen eye you will
find them.
