Deteknix X-POINTER*

[blong10]

I recently saw this pinpointer online and wondered if it is any good for $90. I would like to know if it is worth the price or Is it just junk so can anybody give a review on it if you own it like pros and cons and is a good pinpointer.

And the depth is supposed to be better than the Garrett from the videos I saw.

You don't want the depth to be better. A pinpointer is supposed to work in a small hole. If it is to sensitive it will sound off anywhere in the hole, thus being useless. Hay, they all do the same thing. Most do the job they were made for. The big difference is in the price. Frank...-

Man you couldn't be more wrong.
You would never say those things if you had a lot of experience under your belt.. And have actually used different pointers in a lot of different situations

 

[blong10]

Are you talking to me or Frankn. If you are talking to me you just use the sensitivity adjustment and turn it way down unit you find it.

He also seems to be forgetting some Change their intensity with proximity to the target.. I think he just uses a harbor freight and that's all his experience is

To me, extra depth is a help on shallower coins BEFORE you cut a plug. It can help you zero in on the target exactly so you don't damage it in the recovery process. If it gets too chatty or once you're in the hole, most good pin pointers can be turned down if necessary to eliminate false readings. I also can't stand junk or even sketchy quality tools. They have to work first time, every time, and fit good in my hand or I'll get one that does. You'll have to decide for yourself if you can "live" with a lessor quality item. I don't have any personal experience with the X-pointer but I do with many others. Hopefully, someone here has some experience with one and can give you the advice you seek.

Just Google it. I got a list a mile long.

I believe they have sales on hold until they sort out the support documents and get the warranty cards printed and in the boxes prior to shipping.

You can buy one here: (removed by mod/not supporting vendor)

I have owned one since March and it is just as deep as most others I and my friends have tested. It has PI circuitry and comes with a 2 year warranty, lanyard and sheath. The led light is very bright and it has 4 levels of sensitivity. It is a great product.

I believe that the Gold Digger sales is the ones that are suppose to be responsible for straitening out that warranty mess. No announcement has yet been made stating that has been accomplished. It would be great if they would go ahead and get that done.

Not true. They are simply out of stock everywhere. The Deteknix X-Pointer | BigBoysHobbies is proving to be a great pin pointer at a great price. We do free 2 day priority shipping on them.

I believe you when you state that this pointer has potential, but it now seems that depending on who you ask as to the reason for non availability. The process as stated was said to be happening and the support papers would be included in the next shipment as soon as they have accomplished that task. How about just getting their representative to come on here and make a true and exact statement and take all[U you out of the middle so we can narrow the answer down to one story.

I have the Detectopro Uniprobe it has a range of 4-6 inches max, it is a fantastic probe and sensitivity is not circular, it is directional. The last thing I would want is a pinpointed limited to an inch or so.. My pinpointed is basically a miniature pi detector.

What do you mean they are in the box this shipment. Do you mean the Warranty card

Yes, the warranty card.

Bowinkles. I understand you want a pinpointer. But you should just call bart and order one that he has in stock being gpp or minelab. That way you will have your warrany card. My x pointer is my go to pointer and still zero issues. The worries you have can be fixed by ordering one with a reputation. Me i like testing and taking a chance but not everyone does. Again its only $90. happy hunting

Some how you have got the wrong impression. I purchased one and have used it and tested it and I am very familiar with it. The issue was when it came out of the box there was no supporting papers or warranty cards. I hit the net and found a statement "repaired in the USA" well sir, that is a pretty big place and until I started this business to get that corrected everyone had no place to go if they had a failure. Now we know the importing organization and with a little push they are now promising to have the documents included in the box so case solved. I also own and use at least one each of all current manufactured pin pointers ( except the high dollar one with earphones) and I will say that every one of them came with those documents and they also have a supporting organization behind those documents. I believe that Xpointer will be in line with the market trend very soon.
