I've been using a Garret AT Propointer since I first bought my detector, and it works great.

The garrett line is good either the original black model or the orange (carrot) I have owned both when I upgraded to the carrot I gave the black one to my brother the carrot is waterproof to ten feet that is why I upgraded.

Thanks guys. I was leaning toward the Garrett.

 

[Seahound]

I have the [carrot] it works very well.

I now have the minelab pro find. Waterproof, adjustable power and ferrous and non ferrous tones. I like a lot.

The carrot will do everything you will want a pin pointer to do, and go places your ACE 400 can't.

the orange Garrett is water proof i do not think the black one is

 

[Richard Guy]

I like the PulseDive

Garrett Carrot. It’s water proof so you don’t have to worry about frying it.

Do you use it on land?

Grab the Garrett Carrot. Watch out for fakes or chinese crappy copies.

And be sure to put a rubber tip over the end or you'll wear a hole in the plastic Garrett carrot case!

Had two Black Garretts sold one-the other is shorting in the sheathing as they tend to do.
Minelab is useless for a PP, thought it was me, lent it out a couple of times on hunts-reply useless
Have the orange carrot Garrett-great PP no Issues
M6 Deus I use because of the Deus remote capabilities.
Vibra-Probe sitting around, is a good water probe and have used it on land as well.

Well, I really like the Nokta Pointer...has great sensitivity and waterproof to 10 feet. Watch some videos, before you decide.

I have one of those too. I actually preferred the reaction the older black one had, its feedback seemed more responsive. There was more feedback between far away and really close to a target. Less so on this newer one.
The black one was I hear it, im getting closer, closer, bingo im right on it.
New one, I hear it, im closer, a bit closer, closer, same, same, oh right im actually on it now!
I kinda wish id kept the black one when I sold my GPX.

I have never worn thru a single pin pointer tip in ten years, including the Carrot. I have had my share of tip covers, chair leg feet, some free, and some I bought. I quit using them all years ago and I never saw any marginal thinning. You all might hunt scuffer ground, but I just doubt the need for rubber condoms on a pin pointer. I still have many of them, if anyone is near North Dallas Texas,

Well I did. I had to send it back to Garrett for repair. Cost me $41, so I learned my lesson.

There are coil protectors/covers for good reason..., in very gritty, grainy soil/sand, plus with aggressive locating technique, wear does happen - but, to the cover....
I should show you my coil cover that has a scraping edge, worn down say, 1.2mm in one corner of the end - from digging in this volcanic soil we have here....!
Yes, use a protector for your pointer (...a condom...?!)
