Don't know if you've bought a detector yet. You say you want easy pinpointing. Do you mean easier than the one you have? The Silver u/max Tesoro also requires motion for pinpointing. It does not have a display to give you probable target ID &depth, don't know if you need/want that or not.
Some feel a non-motion pinpoint makes it easier. But Garrett Ace 250 pinpoint is non-motion & still causes trouble for some. About $150 used, $212+ new. Needs to be used at 4 or 5 bar sensitivity to avoid falsing. Visual & tone ID, depth reading.
The Discovery 3300 is a lightweight detector with non-motion pinpoint, ID #s, optional 4" & 10" coils. It has a manual ground balance so I'm not sure if it's simple enough or not. They sell used for $150 or less.
Bounty Hunter Sharpshooter II/Discovery 3000 is another you can buy for $100-125 used that has non-motion pinpoint, visual & tone ID, lightweight. Optional 4" & 10" coils. Not real impressive in air test in discrimination.
The Teknetics Delta 4000 sells new for $349. Seems like it should be pretty simple and it's definitely lightweight, has numerical ID. At maximum sensitivity it air tests 10" on a dime, great but will need to be turned down a bit usually.
The Fisher F5 is maybe or maybe not simple enough. Numerical ID, non-motion pinpoint, light. $499 new but used are seen fairly often $300-400. It will beep softly on a quarter in discrimination air test at 10". Press a button for auto ground balance now & then if it gets too far off the other # displayed.
The Minelab X-Terra 70 can be found used for $400-450. It may or may not be considered simple. I use it in the single tone mode, set to reject iron, foil & pulltabs, then just look at the numbers when it beeps. It has auto ground tracking that can be on or off. So you have to press a few buttons to start. You choose a sensitivity, the highest that is stable, about 18-22. Somewhat deeper than the Bounty Hunters mentioned. HH, George (MN)
