The Garrett Pinpointer Lineup
Garrett keeps its pinpointer range simple and proven. The Pro-Pointer AT ("All Terrain") is the flagship, better known in the hobby as the Garrett Carrot for its bright orange body. It is fully waterproof and submersible to 10 feet, with 360 degree tip detection, adjustable sensitivity, and both audible and vibrate alerts, making it the go-to for beach, freshwater, and all-weather hunting. The Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk adds Garrett's Z-Lynk wireless technology, sending the pinpointer's audio to compatible wireless headphones for cable-free, low-latency hunting. The Pro-Pointer II is the land option: a fast, dependable probe with ratcheting pinpoint and quick retune, weather-resistant for everyday digging though not built for submersion. Several models are also offered in money-saving kits with an edge digger, dig pouch, or MS-3 wireless headphones.
Which Garrett Pinpointer Is Right for You?
The choice comes down to water and wireless. If you hunt the beach, rivers, or wet ground, or simply want to rinse your probe clean, the waterproof Pro-Pointer AT is the one. If you run wireless headphones and want your pinpointer audio in them too, step up to the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk. And if you hunt mostly dry land and want Garrett quality for less, the Pro-Pointer II delivers. All three share the precise tip detection and build quality that made Garrett the name in pinpointers.

Pro-Pointer AT vs Z-Lynk vs Pro-Pointer II
The Pro-Pointer AT and the AT Z-Lynk are the same waterproof pinpointer at heart; the Z-Lynk version adds wireless audio transmission to compatible headphones such as the MS-3, with minimal lag. Between the AT and the Pro-Pointer II, the difference is submersibility: the AT handles full submersion to 10 feet while the II is weather-resistant only and should stay out of the water. If you need waterproofing, buy the Carrot. If you dig dry land and want to save money, the Pro-Pointer II gives you the same precise tip detection for less. Whichever you choose, pair it with a digger and a dig pouch and your recovery kit is complete.
