Why do you need to sense 4 inches deep with a pinpointer??
How about becoming proficient pinpointing with your detector, and if needed take the 2 seconds it takes to scoop out the dirt for the ProPointer to locate your target?
Well for ONE being able to sense down to 4" makes it so you dig a MUCH smaller hole in the ground. VERY important to some land owners. 2) GPP wont even sense anything down past 2".
Im good with my machine zeroing in on the target. No issues there. Same for 95% of the users here.
Ok, You dig a hole say 4" across and 6" deep. There are three dimes in there. One on each of three sides. The GPP is going to be hard to tell if they are high or low on the sides. The TRX you can "ratchet down" the sensitivity with a simple press of the button. Now, you CAN do that with the GPP but you have to completely turn it OFF and back ON right next to the metal object. TRX is simple push of the button then you have sensing range of whatever the distance was when you pressed the button. If you have a quarter thats 4" down and 1" off to one side. You get down in the area, press the button and say you're 2" away. now it wont chirp unless its within that 2" . Get inside THAT 2" to say 1" and tap the button again. Now if there are multiple coins you can hit each one individually and precisely. Sounds like a lot of fussing around but once you have used it, it's second nature.
I will NEVER knock on the GPP, Its a great pointer. Just that the TRX has out done it for now. Im sure Garrett is reading all this about the TRX on this forum and other forums and is or has something in the works to make a newer GPP that works just as deep or deeper than the TRX. TRX is the best one right NOW on the market. Its day will end too just like they all do. Get one, Try one, or stop discrediting something you know nothing about. Happy hunting.
