The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is the pinpointer more detectorists carry than any other, and this open box unit gives you the same probe at a lower price. Each one is a customer return that has been tested by our team for sensitivity, audio, vibration, lost alarm and waterproofing before it goes back on the shelf. You get the pinpointer, the woven belt holster and a 9 V battery, backed by the same 3-year Garrett warranty as a new unit.
What's Included with the Open Box Garrett Pro-Pointer AT
- Garrett Pro-Pointer AT pinpointer (open box, tested)
- Woven belt holster
- 9 V battery
- Garrett instruction sheet
Open Box Condition
Open box units are returns in like-new working order. The retail box may show handling wear and the seal is broken, and the probe may show light marks from a hunt or two. Every unit is powered up, tuned and submersion-tested before we list it. Cosmetic condition varies from unit to unit; function does not. Coverage is the full 3-year Garrett limited warranty, the same as new stock. See everything we currently have in open box and demo gear.
Where the Pro-Pointer AT Earns Its Reputation
Beach, Surf and Underwater
Submersible to 20 ft (6 m) with an IP68 rating, the Pro-Pointer AT goes under with you at the beach, in a river, or on a shallow dive. The orange housing is easy to see in murky water and dark sand, and the lost alarm starts chirping after five minutes idle so a probe set down on the towel does not stay there. Pair it with any of our waterproof metal detectors for a fully submersible kit.
Parks, Fields and Trashy Sites
Three sensitivity levels let you run the probe hot for a deep coin in clean ground or turn it down in a hole full of foil and nails so you get a single clean response. The fast retune button shrinks the detection field around a target you have already found, and the 360-degree detection tip and side-scan let you sweep the hole walls without rotating the probe. Proportional audio and vibration ramp up as you close in, so you know which way to dig before you see the target.
Low Light and Silent Hunting
The built-in LED lights the hole in a shaded wood lot or at dusk on the beach, and vibrate-only mode keeps things quiet when you are hunting near people or when you already have headphones on. The ruler marked on the side helps you judge target depth, and the scraping blade on the tip lets you probe the soil without dulling your finds.
Why Detectorists Choose the Pro-Pointer AT
- Submersible to 20 ft (6 m), IP68: the same probe for dry land and the water.
- Three sensitivity levels with a fast retune button for precise pinpointing in trash and mineralized ground.
- 360-degree detection at the tip and sides, with proportional audio and vibration that intensify as you close on the target.
- Lost alarm chirps after five minutes idle, then auto power-off after an hour to save the battery.
- Built-in LED flashlight, ruler and scraping blade for low light and hard ground.
- Runs about 30 hours on one alkaline 9 V battery, no proprietary charger required.
