Thanks to ScubaDetector and his contest I'm in the market for a new pinpointer for my boys. We already have a Garrett carrot and have no problems with it except the battery life with rechargeable 9v's is not that great. I've been researching other pinpointers to see what they have to offer. I'm not sure if I should stick with what we know or to try a different one to see if it offers anything better. I like that the TRX pinpoints only in front of the tip and would be a little more precise. It and the Makcro can use aa batteries or 9v. If you were to buy one today, which one and why? If you've had issues with one, what were they? Thanks for any help.
