Default Just ordered a ProPointer from Big Boys Hobbies

Cashed in my clad for the year and added it to a gift card I got for Christmas and was finally able to order a propointer! I've never used one so I'm going into this on blind faith. I hope it lives up to the hype.

And the waiting game starts again. Thanks again Bart.

I'll be the next one to say you won't be sorry you got one.
I am thinking about getting another one for a back up.
They really work.

I still can't believe I detected a whole year without one. Man it made my detecting life so much more fun. Congrats and enjoy.

The advice here has been great so far, which is why I spent that much on a product I've never touched before.

Now if the ground would thaw out in the next few days I might get to try it out when it gets here.

I got mine for 50 bucks at a pawn shop in CO when I was waiting for my first MD to arrive in mail. I didnt realize how good of deal I got till I looked one up new.

And yeah it is awesome. I hate to admit it but Ive got mine REALLY wet and muddy. LIke totaly covered in mud and it still works great.

You'll find out it's not hype It's the real deal.

The thing is cool for playing in the house for detecting wall studs for practice too. If the ground it frozen, play with it anyway. Super tune and detune it if you can't get out. It all comes in handy once you get in the field. martin

You will never leave home without it. I keep it in the back of my car at all times.

If the ground is frozen, hold it near your mouth.
It will detect the fillings in your teeth.
Really .. You will love it.
