Essential. On relic sites where you are digging in iron-contaminated soil, a pinpointer tells you exactly where in the excavation the target is, preventing you from cutting through it with the digging tool and helping you recover it intact. This matters particularly for fragile relics - buttons, buckles, insignia - that can be damaged by a shovel. A quality pinpointer cuts recovery time and improves recovery quality. The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT at 10-foot waterproofing is the most popular choice, suitable for field use in all weather conditions.
