Whats the best pinpointer available?

Bounty hunter is cheap but reviews suggest its not good. Garret and Whites are both pricey. What do you all say??

I've only ever used my Whites Bullseye 2, so I guess I am not qualified to judge which is best, but I can say I am happy in it's performance.

I'd hate to be without a sunray inline on any of my detectors. It would be great if detector manufacturers would include an option for a built in inline probe on their machines straight from the control box which could eliminate the switch box like sunray uses.

One more for the garrett pro pointer.

I bought a vibraprobe several yrs ago after the local shop owner left me use one for several hunts. Then last summer I bought a slightly used f70 for $200- (still had original batteries in it). A few weeks later I helped my local shop owner for a day with some shop remodeling. He has helped me alot, so I refused being paid, until he offered me a sunray probe for the f70. I took it. I have used both the vibraprobe and the sunray alot, and I am very satisfied with both.
Except, when dumb old me forgets to flip the switch on the sunray back to 'detect' :-)

The Pistol Probe from www.PistolProbe.com is the deepest pointer, but I still love my Garrett. I will probably have both soon.

GARRET PRO POINTER AND DIP IN PLASTI DIP JUST ABOVE THE LED ABOUT THREE TIMES TAKING 30 MINUTES IN BETWEEN EACH DIP. I BOUGHT THE BLACK TO KEEP ORIGINAL. PRESERVES THAT GREAT DEVICE WHEN USING FOR MODERATE DIGGING.

Well it's a simple instrument for a simple job, that being locating a hard to distinguish target in a small hole. You really don't want it to pick up more than an inch away. Most pinpointers will do this job so it boils down to a choice based on shape, sound/vibration/visual indicator or the biggy, the large variation of cost. I, being older than most here, had another consideration that being modding. My hearing is fading so I wanted something I could add visual ID to. I have two pinpointers, a Whites Bullseye and a Cen Tec. I have spent 15 min on each adding a bright blue LED that lights when it detects a target. They both do a great job. Note, the pro pointer is just about impossible to mod. Frank...
