So many new Pin Pointers, so little time. What do you use.

I am a newbie by all standards and had the chance to use a borrowed PP this past weekend and as soon as I can work one into my budget I will be ordering one. Using the PP seemed to really speed up things... That said, this thread will help me to decide on which one to purchase, Thanks Y'all...

I picked up a really cheap Harbor Freight pin pointer 8 years ago now still working , it really does help pinpoint targets esp the difficult ones to find !! I have been an electronics tech for 35 years now and was a little skeptical about a pin pointer , but after using it for a few years it really does help speed up recovery .. And like you not everyone likes them !!

You might have dug 4 holes put you would still be looking for a target in all 4 holes !! Pin pointers do save time and frustration esp with very small targets !!

I HIGHLY recommend that nobody but me uses a pinpointer.NEVER give in to the hype,let me give in for you.In fact if you are a carpenter....dont get a chop saw.NO chainsaws either,hand saws only for real men.Go bear hunting with rocks.Dig with your bloody fingers...yup...let me be the woosey with the new fangled tools who follows you...

What brand of rocks do you prefer for hunting bears?
