What is your favorite pinpointer?

[Spill]

I have upgraded to a legend and now my junky off brand pinpointer just won't do. I am looking for a capable pinpointer that won't break the bank. What is your go to?

In pin pointers it's basically we get what we pay for.
All around bullet proof is the 🥕. I have had good luck with it.
The Deus M-6 is my go to PP as it's paired wireless to the detector.

Garret carrot by far.

Teknetics Tek-Point. Solid performance

What depth do you get with this pointer, on a dime?

I just tested it, on a clad dime it’s 2.75-3 inches on the middle sensitivity setting. This is the setting I use and it’s been great so far, have had it for a little over a year

Set to high and let me know the distance.

If it sees it over 4 inches, I will buy it.

I’ll let you know tomorrow when I can get the instructions out to change the settings, I work very early mornings, so have to call it a day for now..

Garrett carrot. I would also keep a 9V battery handy in case you need to replace it.

My fav is the only one I've ever had or used, Garret. Never really even thought about trying any others.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

Garrett carrot is my choice.

I just picked up a Quest X pointer Max a few days ago and I am really liking it a lot, I also have my original Garrett Pro Pointer that I purchased in 2009, the Nokt/Macro Pulse Dive and the Fisher F Pulse I like the X pointer max the best so far it is probably the Loudest pin pointer I have ever heard also, very very sensitive also

VP-580 .. by far... bar none.
Gotten others for free... tried almost all of em... still 580 reigns king to /for me.

Technetics—a pulse unit. Can be adjusted for depth and frequency.

I just tested it at the high setting. It alerts at exactly 4 inches on a clad dime

 

[Waynea]

Ok.

4 inches on a clad dime at high sensitivity

 

[Georgivs]

🥕 all the way. I've found dozens of rings diving with just the carrot

I'm old school , pick up a hand full of dirt and wave under the coil. works every time and came as part of standard equipment.

Has anybody tried the 99 dollar nokta? Is it as good as the carrot?
