The replaceable hard-shell pointer tip protects the pinpointer coil windings from abrasion when you probe sand, gravel, rocks, or coral during target recovery. The tip is a wear part that takes the impact instead of the coil itself, and you can replace it when it becomes damaged or worn down. In saltwater diving and beach hunting, the pointer tip encounters sharp shells, coral fragments, and coarse sand that would degrade an exposed coil over time, so the replaceable design extends the pinpointer's service life and maintains sensitivity.
