Bounty Hunter Pin Pointer information?

Has anyone tried or used the BH Pinpointer device? I see Walmart has them on clearance for like $40 and wasn't sure if they were worth the use/cost?

If you took the 0 off the 40...it would be worth it. Save some $ and buy a decent one if you can.

They are better than not having one at all however...and you can mod them to make them better.

Thanks, I kind of thought that. It was odd they were selling them on clearance. [emoji23] I'm pretty good with the detector pin pointing, but I know a hand held unit would speed up the recovery times. I'll save up for something better.

It's honestly not the worst you could do, and it does speed target recovery time, but it sure as hell isn't worth 40 bucks. I used one for several months until it bit the dust. I replaced it with a Garret Carrot, and wow, you sure get what you pay for. Save up and get a high quality pinpointer.

It is better than no pinpointer, I have one and tuned it up a bit. My son uses it after I got the carrot.

Best bang for buck is the Deteknix XPointer. $89 new and I've seen used ones as low as $40. Just my opinion. I'd rather dig dirt and wave it in front of the detector coil than use a BH pinpointer again.

I bought one back in 2014, it only has a range of about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. It makes a great paperweight. You need to spend at least $89 to get a decent one.
