Minelab pin pointer any news??

[stasys]

The minelab will get 50% more depth with no coin trick - very nice for me. You can also do the coin trick if you want but 3" or 4" is more than enough for most situations.

Albert how do you know its deeper or not? sensitivity knob is not measure Its look minelab bought license from Garrett.

Its look minelab bought license from Garrett.

What the heck should it look like?? How many shapes and sizes could even be practical??
BE REAL! External appearance reveals NOTHING of it's performance potential!
How about we wait a few more days for the official release, and then for an actual hands on comparison, instead of all of this useless speculation and remarks about what it "looks" like?

i'm just glad its not shaped like a V4

Stasys - I asked a tester/mod about the depth (Digger on Finds). He posted the depth and I tested my Garrett Pro Pointer and posted the results. The sensitivity button has 3 increments up and the 50% more number I gave was at max. I really doubt Minelab bought a patent from Garrett - I mean it's just a small metal detector, nothing secret in there - though it works very very well. The Minelab does have the "DIF" technology, which is patented I would think.

Longhair - I agree, there are only so many shapes you could really make a pinpointer. It is not some secret technology, just a small detector. I do think thus far, as far as VLF pinpointers go, the Garrett is the best of the bunch, but it looks like Minelab just outdid them (depending on the price near you). Garrett, imo, should have come out with an improved pinpointer (e.g. Pro-Pointer Plus) after having the Pro-Pointer on the market so long and then beaten Minelab to the punch.

what the heck does it suppose to look like?? A garrett propointer of course, it looks like a propointer,it sounds like a propointer, now if minelab can make it not sound off erratically like the propointer they may have something.
