I've had my Garrett ProPointer for about six weeks and I've been pleased with it - it really saves a lot of time locating finds.
During my last two hunts I noticed something weird: it will beep/vibrate if I put even moderate pressure on the tip of the pointer, even if no metal is present.
This cost me some time looking for the phantom hits before I realized what was going on. Afterwards I tried to be careful to just use the side of the pointer, but it's not an ideal solution.
I've tried to be careful with the pointer - it stays in the sheath when I'm not using it. Apart from some dirt, it hasn't really had any abuse.
Has anyone else experienced this? The ProPointer seems to have a 12-month warranty - I'm thinking maybe I should get it fixed/replaced.
