how about coverning it in fluorescent paint/ tape? I don't know if tape will register as foil or not. Irecently lost mine I will secure the next one with an elastic cord.

Wrapped mine in red vet tape. Covers the speaker slots and switch as well, to keep dirt/mud out.

You mean like this... Orange duct tape ftw ... but why not sell them in bright colors?

Some places you might not want something that draws unwanted attention.

I never said stop selling the black ones. But why not offer the consumer a choice of black or orange? As for unwanted attention, I think the 4 foot metal detector is going to draw more attention then a 9 inch pro pointer.

They don't want to stock 20 different colors and have them sit around forever not being bought when 50 cents worth of tape will make them any color you want. ;)

Would probably cost them considerably to make them in another color as well and it seams like most guys have the pro-pointer so they don't bother i guess lol

I guess that black plastic is cheaper than colored plastic.

I like this idea for finding it and also if it's dark, you get approached by the law and have the pointer in your hand it could look like a firearm. If it was red or orange you'd have a less jumpy officer.

They make all kinds of colored electrical tape. Yellow or orange phase tape works wonders if ya happen to leave it at your last hole.

If I found a pro pointer with my pro pointer... isn't that kind of like cannibalism?
