Get the Garrett pro pointer, the Fisher one is good for holding loose paper down only

I have rhe fisher pinpointer that came with it and it does work and its free so get it.it is a pain to pin point wirh since you have to be with in a 1/4 inch of the object to use set it off but ive found plenty of stuff with it. I like that it skinny so I just pinpointed the target with the md then stabbed the fisher pinpointer in the ground till it goes off now you found your target just pop it out.
Im buying the garrett next week cause it is better in lots of aspects mainly if it cuts down on located objects then its worth it.

Also a decent back scratcher but a lousy doorstop.
It is better than nothing but not by much, the Propointer is in another world compared to this one.

When I got one in a package, I didn't even take it out of the plastic. I sold it un-used on Ebay for about $40, which was more than it was worth to me.

I have the same Fisher Pin Pointer, came with unit, and then turned around and purchased a Garrett's Pro-Pointer because the Garrett's is so much better!!!

I did the same as Longhair. As soon as I got mine I put it on Ebay and it brought between $35-$40, can't remember now. Either way that took a lot of the sting out of the price of the Garrett. Once I used the Garrett I realize it is worth the money. I know people have hunted without them for decades but once you start using one I don't know if I would go hunting if mine was out of commission for a couple days.

I got a Fisher pinpointer with a detector. It is not as sensitive as it should be so I tweeked it a little bit and got twice the range out of it. It still is not nearly as good as the Garrett but better than nothing.
You can make the Fisher more sensitive by taking a strip of aluminum foil about a 1/4" wide and long enough to wrap around the probe. Turn the pinpointer on and set it, then wrap the foil around the probe and slide it toward the tip until the pinpointer buzzes, move it back just to where it quits buzzing. Now tape the foil to the probe in that position. This will just about double the range.
