You know i must have been lucky for all these years and mine never gave me a problem ..Knock on Wood ..Keppy, I have two Pro-pointers. Both have failed, one a couple times. Both have been to Garrett's for repairs.
I repaired one that was giving me serious problems with side pressure, but both sound off when pressed against the side of a plug.
I just acquired a Whites TRX. I haven't had it in the field but so far I love it. Much greater range than the Garrett.
That helps me for searching the sports fields and only digging small targets that the PP detects.
The problem with the Garrett is that small targets like dimes were only detected an inch or so down.
You don't say what your budget is but, if I were going to get a stand-alone pin pointer for under $200, I'd get the White's TRX. If you just can't swing it and need something for under $100, the Fisher F Point or Kellyco Accufind would be my choice, with the Bounty Hunter a distant 3rd. I wouldn't bother with the Harbor Freight unit.
Just saying if your relic hunting sometimes you're a long way from a vehicle if it starts to rain you may need something that's not going to melt

Where is it made? Please, no more bullets for China!
My next one will be the Xpointer. I have the Garretts and Pistol Probe.
The Garretts break down although their service is top notch. Pistol Probe is unmatched for depth but durability and
the awkward shape make it less desirable.
The Xpointer is pulse induction which gets away from the falsing of the Garrett. I only has one
9v battery so it will not be as deep as the Pistol Probe.

Personally, I like a tool that works great at first asking. I don't want to have to play with it or cajole it into doing what I want. That's not my idea of fun. Those HF pin pointers are not very ergonomically friendly either.
