The Garrett Pro Pointer AT Z-Lynk is finally here with a game-changing wireless feature that pinpointer users have been waiting for. This new release keeps everything we love about the original Pro-Pointer AT while adding Z-Lynk wireless technology and an improved waterproof rating.
Z-Lynk Wireless Technology Integration
The standout feature is the built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology. You can pair this pinpointer directly to any Garrett Z-Lynk wireless receiver, including the popular MS-3 Z-Lynk wireless headphones. This eliminates the need for wired connections between your pinpointer and audio gear.
For detectorists who've been using Garrett's wireless ecosystem with their metal detectors, this creates a seamless setup. No more tangled wires or audio cables when you're switching between your detector and pinpointer during target recovery.
Enhanced Waterproof Performance
Garrett upgraded the IP68 rating on both the new wireless Pro-Pointer AT and the existing standard model. The new rating allows submersion up to 20 feet (6 meters) – a significant improvement that puts it in serious competition with other waterproof pinpointers on the market.
This depth rating makes it suitable for underwater detecting, beach hunting in surf conditions, and creek prospecting where you might need to search in deeper pools. The improved waterproofing addresses one of the main limitations some users had with earlier versions.
Core Operating Functions Remain Unchanged
The Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk retains all the basic operating functions that made the original Pro-Pointer AT popular among metal detector enthusiasts. You'll still get the same sensitivity levels, audio feedback, vibration alerts, and scraping blade functionality.
This means existing Pro-Pointer AT users won't need to relearn anything – the wireless connectivity is an addition, not a replacement of familiar features.
Compatibility with Existing Garrett Gear
If you're already using Garrett detectors with Z-Lynk capability, this pinpointer integrates directly into your existing setup. The wireless receiver you use with your detector can also handle the pinpointer signal, streamlining your gear configuration.
For detectorists using multiple Garrett models or planning to upgrade to Z-Lynk compatible detectors, this pinpointer offers future-proof wireless connectivity.
Best Pinpointer Options Available Now
While waiting for the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk release, several excellent pinpointer options are currently available. The standard Garrett Pro Pointer AT remains one of the most reliable choices, especially for beginners getting into metal detecting.
For comparison, the Minelab Pro-Find series and DetectorPro pinpointers offer different feature sets that might suit specific detecting styles. The wireless capability of the new Z-Lynk model sets it apart from these alternatives.
What Makes This Pinpointer Special
- First wireless pinpointer in Garrett's lineup
- 20-foot waterproof depth rating
- Direct compatibility with existing Z-Lynk receivers
- Maintains proven Pro-Pointer AT functionality
- No learning curve for current Pro-Pointer AT users
Release Timeline and Availability
Garrett hasn't announced the exact release date, but they've confirmed it's coming soon. Given the significance of adding wireless technology to their most popular pinpointer, we expect this to be a major release for the company.
The combination of wireless connectivity and improved waterproofing addresses the two main requests we've heard from Pro-Pointer AT users over the years. This should make it appealing to both existing Garrett users looking to upgrade and new detectorists building their first gear setup.
