Ok heres the story i enjoy metal detecting quite a bit. I use a Fisher F2 and i do have a cheaper model pinpointer fisher model. The Fisher pinpointer works ok it does what it needs to do. But i have been hearing all abou the Garrett for the last year since i joined up on this site and i hear how having a good pinpointer makes the finding of the object in the hole so much faster and more fun to detect that i decided its time to get one. I just gotta figure out which one.
Ive been hearing good things by reading reviews about the TRX and so far they seem to be gettin good reviews. The Garrett ive always heard good things about it but it seems within the last 6 months or so there is nothing but problems with them breaking down and needing to be returned to get replaced due to malfunctioning parts. When i first signed up on this site, i didnt hardly ever see a used Garrett Pinpointer for sale on this site, and now i see quite a few of them for sale on here.
I Dont really want the headache of the garrett breaking down and needing replaced all the time, i understand that garretts cusomter service is good, but its still a pain in the butt.
Im also hearing that Whites customer service is very good as well.
I want to make clear that i have never USED a Garrett or a TRX, the only pinpointer ive ever used is that fisher pinpointer. So id like to step up my game and get something that works, and makes this hobby that much more fun, and quicker finding the target in the ground.
I now have a hunting partner in my cousin. So its gotten even more fun to go out and detect.
Give me some point of vew on this help me make up my mind im ready to buy now. Also the extra cost for the TRX really doesnt bother me if its the better pinpointer that is fine. I mean if i have to keep sending the Garrett back cause it breaks down then by buyin the TRX and saving the shipping money is fine. Im ok with spending a few more bucks up front since i have neither of these pin pointers and since ive never used a good one i want to make sure i get one.
thanks
