i am looking for a cheep pinpointer

Harbor Freight has one for about $20. If you want a cheap one that works, I'd go for that one.
 

That is one item I would not be CHEAP on. Ebay - Garrett Pro Pointer.
 

I purchased 2 from harbor freight. i was kinda of leary that they wouldnt work but been using them for about a month now and i have found that they work just fine. i would recommend them if u are pinching pennys then these will work fine until you can save up for abetter brand

Or a way to make a cheep one if any one knows how or got a cheep one to sale or a good used one well work let me know

Hf pin pointers work fine. I would recommend them also if money is tight.
 

get a garrett pro pointer

Save yourself some brain damage and get a garrett pro pointer. If you buy anything else, you will probably be disappointed. read the reviews....and save yourself the headache
 

Bought the HF unit tonight, $14 at the local store, and it does nothing but beep nonstop. Sensitivity zilch, different battery nada... just beeps as long as it's on. Will return it tomorrow and grab the propointer my local dealer has in his case.
 

The propointer works GREAT! Maybe I just got a bad one from harbor freight, but the garret unit is amazing. Dug one hole and found 4 items, all trash for the most part, but I'd never have found them without it.
 

I too got the Cen Tech pinpointer from Harbor Freight...it has a sensitivity dial and a light and is easy to use....seems to work ok for now...14.99 and the HF website has a printable 20% off coupon good for September only...it's no pro pointer but it's better than nothing....
 

After a few holes you will get better digging. You wont need a pinpointer soon. I would rather put the money from a expensive pinpointer on a new coil instead. Most finds will be shallow anyway, a pocket knife or flat tip screw driver will work. Of Course you could buy a $40.00 dollar leches too, and $100.00 dollar Preditor shovel. Good Luck and welcome to the hobby.
 

I agree, the HF pinpointer is pretty decent. If it lasts me 6 months and breaks, it was worth the $20.
 

I have been using a Cen-tech pinpointer for three weeks no problems Works great

Second that! Used my HF pointer twice now and it works just fine, now when I have the coin I will get a PP for sure!
 

I used my hf handheld for a month before the button quit working. I replaced the button and added a vibrator motor for 5 bucks. Works great for less than 20$
 

I got a bounty hunter one from amazon for 35 buck. Very impressed with for beging a bounty hunter
