Maybe you could find somebody that has a METAL DETECTOR to find it?

Do you know anyone who has one of these?


Just trying to be funny...I'd be lost without my ProPointer....just thinking about that makes me start to get nervous!

I just bought one and I'm going to put some brightly colored tape to it just for that reason. Hope you find it.

After losing two different pinpointers, I now secure a stretchy plastic key chain type cord to the pointer and the other end to my belt. That way I can't walk away from it when it's still on the ground.

For those twilight detectorists maybe stick some reflective tape on you PP and carry a small flashlight in you backpack/utility belt
just an idea
Hope you do find it

I've put two different colors of the reflective tape on my "tools". If I do leave one, I'll come back at dark with a strong flashlight and "light it up"...... I also made sure that no matter which way I "shined it", that there'd be some tape in a position to reflect. Good luck.
