The Garrett Pro-Pointer II is a water-resistant pinpointer rated to IP 66 standards that speeds target recovery in parks, fields, and beaches where rain or damp soil would damage unprotected electronics. Detectorists who hunt trashy sites or mineralized ground need proportional audio and vibration feedback that increases as the tip approaches the target, and the Pro-Pointer II's 360-degree side-scan detection area finds coins and relics from any angle without repositioning the unit. The fast power-on/off retune method tunes out wet sand or hot rocks, while the scraping blade clears soil from target holes without switching tools.
What's Included with the Garrett Pro-Pointer II
- Garrett Pro-Pointer II pinpointer with 360-degree detection tip and LED flashlight
- Woven belt holster for secure carry during hunts
- 9-volt battery ready to use out of the box
Why Detectorists Reach for the Pro-Pointer II
- Proportional audio and vibration pulse rate increases as the tip nears the target, so you pinpoint coins in trashy park sites without repositioning the unit or guessing at signal strength.
- 360-degree side-scan detection area finds targets from any angle, which cuts recovery time when you are digging multiple signals in a session or working around tree roots and rocks.
- Fast retune method (quick power off/on) tunes out mineralized soil or wet beach sand that would cause false signals on a basic pinpointer, keeping you productive in challenging ground conditions.
- Water-resistant to IP 66 standards so you can hunt in rain, rinse the unit under running water after muddy digs, and work damp ground without worrying about moisture damage to the electronics.
- Lost pinpointer alarm emits warning chirps after 5 minutes of inactivity, so you will not leave the unit behind in a hole or on the tailgate when you move to the next site.

Faster Target Recovery in Trashy Park Sites and Mineralized Ground
The Pro-Pointer II's proportional feedback and side-scan detection handle two common recovery challenges: isolating a coin signal among pull-tabs and bottle caps in a trashy park, and working through mineralized soil that causes false signals on basic pinpointers. Our team runs Garrett pinpointers on relic hunts where iron fragments and hot rocks would overwhelm a unit without retune capability.
Trashy Urban Parks with High Target Density
The 360-degree detection field finds coins from any angle when you are digging a plug with multiple targets present. The proportional audio pulse rate increases as the tip nears the coin, so you isolate the keeper signal from adjacent trash without repositioning the pinpointer or enlarging the hole. The scraping blade clears loose soil from the target without switching to a separate digging tool, which speeds recovery when you are working a productive site with dozens of signals per hour.
Mineralized Soil and Wet Beach Sand
The fast retune method (quick power off/on) shrinks the detection field to tune out mineralized ground or wet sand that would cause continuous false signals. Detectorists working red clay sites or saltwater beaches press the power button twice to retune the unit, then continue pinpointing without the ground noise that basic pinpointers cannot handle. The water-resistant housing meets IP 66 standards for dust and water protection, so the tip can be submerged briefly and the unit can be rinsed under running water after a session in wet sand or mud.
