Garrett 6" x 11" DD Vortex Viper Search Coil for Vortex VX5, VX7, and VX9

The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is a submersible, waterproof pinpointer rated down to 20 feet (6 meters) that dramatically speeds up target recovery across saltwater beaches, muddy relic fields, and heavily mineralized soils. Detectorists hunting wet ocean sand, fast-moving streams, or historic homestead sites require a secondary recovery tool that won't false signal or chatter when making contact with highly conductive matrices. The Pro-Pointer AT provides three distinct sensitivity levels alongside a fast retune button to handle challenging ground conditions right out of the box. Its high-visibility bright orange housing ensures it remains easily trackable underwater or in dense ground cover, while its intuitive single-button interface allows for seamless adjustments even when wearing thick gloves.

What's Included with the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT

• Garrett Pro-Pointer AT waterproof pinpointer
• Woven belt holster for secure field carry
• 9-Volt alkaline battery
• Three-year limited parts and labor warranty

Why Detectorists Reach for the Pro-Pointer AT

• Proudly Designed, Engineered, and Manufactured in the USA: Built at Garrett's Garland, Texas facility, ensuring premium build standards and rugged field durability.
• Submersible waterproof protection down to 20 feet (6 meters) with an IP68 rating allows you to transition smoothly from land hunting to active surf zones, rivers, and shallow diving.
• Fast retune button instantly tunes out mineralized soil, salt water, and wet sand, or rapidly shrinks the active detection field for surgical isolation around large iron targets.
• 360-degree side-scan detection area allows you to scan the entire sidewall of a dug plug or hole uniformly without needing to constantly reposition the tip.
• Lost pinpointer alarm triggers automatic warning chirps after 5 minutes of inactivity, helping you locate your equipment if it is accidentally left behind in a hole or tall grass.
• Molded ruler markings in both inches and centimeters along the side of the chassis offer a quick, rigid gauge to measure target depth inside the plug.
• Proportional audio and vibration indicators automatically intensify as the tip nears a target, allowing you to gauge distance precisely before extracting the find.

Faster Target Recovery in Trashy Park Sites and Mineralized Ground

Sifting High-Traffic Parks with Proportional Feedback

Urban park environments cluttered with decades of modern aluminum pull tabs, rusted nails, and bottle caps require precise excavation to keep plugs small and neat. The Pro-Pointer AT scales its audio and vibration feedback rhythmically as you approach a target, allowing you to isolate a coin from adjacent trash barriers without digging massive, destructive holes. Utilizing the quick-retune tapping method enables you to narrow the detection field down to a fraction of an inch, perfectly pinpointing the target tip location before pulling the object free. Its native 11.5 kHz operating frequency delivers crisp sensitivity on small jewelry, thin hammered coins, and fine relics that standard configurations might overlook during recovery.

Saltwater Beaches and Submersible Surf Recovery

Wet saltwater sand naturally causes standard pinpointers to false-signal due to high environmental conductivity. Tapping the fast retune button instantly balances out the ambient mineralization matrix, stabilizing your audio feedback. Because it features a certified 20-foot depth rating, you can follow deep signals directly past the dry sand line into active surf cuts and riverbeds.

Running the device in its vibrate-only configuration is highly efficient for private beach work, letting you hunt in crowded tourist environments without generating external noise.
