  • I wound a 8mm or so radio core and it detects grains the Garrett end seemed a bit too big but good for coins. Would be great with vib and disc knob. Waiting for gen two or three with imaging screen. LOL! 

  • Yes, the Garrett is really only good for coins and the like. I have been looking for a good gold nugget probe that is easy to carry and sensitive. I have tried a number of them on the market, and none of them really do the job. There are a few that work, but they are bulky and you really have to be just about touching the nugget for them to work. Garrett has not plans to make a new version that I have been able to learn about.

  • I asked Garrett a while back if they planned to put out another version with perhaps a sensitivity slide or a power boost on it. The answer was that no such plans were in the works. So, it looks like they are satisfied with the current version of the product.

  • Glad it worked for you - it is just something to add to your bag of tricks. It is not needed all the time, but once in a while, a little added depth for the pin pointer helps find that target that is difficult to find or is just our of range of the Pro Pointer. As for the non believers, there are always some of those. I am sure some of them still believe the world is flat. :>)

  • So does this mean that you could actually use the pro pointer as a metal detector?

    Nice find! How did you come up with this? Could you also apply this technique to a metal detector?

  • Your pin pointer is just that - a metal detector with a very tiny coil. It would be tedious to use it as a metal detector when searching a larger area, but I guess if you had nothing else it could be done.

  • "Slide it up the shaft..." That's what she said!  Just messin' though, awesome vid!

  • @TheNuggetshooter

    Heck if they had to improve it they would have to retool thier asian minimum wage tooling and work training. Should be US made the economy needs manufacturing not cheap offshore marked up stuff.

  • Here is a question then, why doesn't Garrett just make the fix and add the increased Depth/strength?

  • @TheNuggetshooter

    What the Hell, The World isn't flat? LOL

  • Everyone needs a couple of more inches...
