I need a new (or used) pinpointer, but being that I just bought 2 new regular detectors totalling almost $800, I've really got to go light with my next purchase. I've looked at pinpointers on Ebay for several days. I wanted the full Pulsedive package but I really won't be able to afford it right now unless I just buy the wand first and the coil later. That is a definate possibility. I've also seen the following units for around the price margin I'm bound by.
Nokta Pointer (base model)
XP MI-4
Fisher F-pulse
Garret AT
My options are very limited and I should have mentioned that I really want a waterproof unit. I want it to be good to about 6ft. I'm not a diver but I will want to look in some creeks with some fairly deep swimming holes, or possibly in the surf at some point.
If anyone can think of anything to add to my short-list, please do. Otherwise, of what I listed what would be the best? Personally I am leaning toward either Nokta. Also, I know some people will think some of these for $100 or less is dreaming, but no...I've seen them mildly used for that and its not impossible if you're willing to wake up and bid at 3am, etc!
A little help would be appreciated. And if any of these is considered a "bad" choice for any reason, please lay it on me. Thanks!
