Need advice on PINPOINTERS

[Nutriasub]

I have read several posts on this matter, but the latest I could find was from spring of 2010.

It's still the Garret Pro the best on that price range?

is it better than the Pistol Probe?

Thanks a lot for the input

Cheers

The Garrett is my choice...the pistol will go deeper, but the garrett is MUCH smaller & sturdier....I even use mine to dig around with in the soil. I wasnt sure about spending the $$$ for a pinpointer, but I have cut at least 75% off my recovery time.

It's one of those situations where you really get what you pay for.
I understand BOTH are excellent pin-pointers.
I heard the Pistol probe is a little better, but can interfere with other detector
frequencies. I have not verified that.
I have Garrett Pro-pointer and LOVE it!
I have about 30 peripheral tools to go with my detector, but
now I have narrowed it down to just two that I use:
1. The Lesche digging tool, and
2. The Garrett Pro-pointer.

Great results with these, and the pointers cut down on retrieval time by about
70%.

I own both. Most times i find myself grabbing the garrett when i leave the house. Or let my wife or daughters b/f use the pistol probe.

I have used them both, and I sell them both. Both are good, but The DetectorPro Pistol Probe rides shotgun with me on my trips.

The only downfall about it is that it is powerful, and sometimes interferes with my etrac. I really like the longer nose on the Pistol probe VS. The Garret so you don't have to get right down in the hole.

I hope this helps.

Love the depth range of the pistol probe. It's saved me a lot of time and effort on those deeper targets.

I'll second that!

For instance, today I had some friends over to help recover prizes donated from T-netters to use in our new pit in VA. I had planted so many coins and relics in the pit, I was literally using the detector Pro pin pointer as my metal detector!!! They could not believe how deep some of the coins were I was picking from the sand.

It was fun
