So I'm thinking that if the pinpointer built into the AT Pro is useless why do they have it? Would it not make sense to eliminate it altogether and perhaps lower the price a little? I do have a handheld garrett pinpointer also, and it picks up large objects under two or three inches of dirt but on small objects like a coin, it almost has to touch them before it sends an audio.
It may come in handy when using a non double D coil since pinpointing with them is a little different. But with the double D , wiggle back if by far the best way to pinpoint. The PP button on the AT detectors is also pressed to change the frequency , so the button has more than one purpose. Occasionally mine will overload over a large target and momentarily freeze a number on the display , which clears in a second or two after moving the coil away , its rare but it happens , when it does I push the pinpoint button and it clears faster....yet another purpose for that button. If it has a PP button it should work like its supposed to , even if you never need it , but as long as you are using the DD coil the wiggle back method is the way to go.
