Next week I am buying the orange garrett pinpointer it's 127 dollors but it seems to be high quality do you guys know if it works well on saltwater beaches?

Question: Why do you want a pinpointer for the beach? SANDSCOOP. You need a sandscoop, not a pinpointer.

A pin pointer is great but what Terry says is true.The sand will keep falling back in whatever hole you dig so a scoop is definitely a must have.

It's not for finding the target in the hole, it helps if you are trying to find the target in sand or mud you have dumped out of your scoop.
