A pinpointer: the gift almost every detectorist uses
A pinpointer is a small handheld probe that finds the exact spot of a target in the hole, and it works alongside any metal detector. Most detectorists consider it the second piece of gear after the detector itself. We carry waterproof pinpointers from Garrett, Minelab, Nokta and XP. Some Garrett and XP pinpointers pair wirelessly with matching detectors, which the listings explain.
Headphones need the right model
Wireless detector headphones are a popular gift in this range, but most pair with one brand or one detector family. Each listing names the detectors it works with. If you cannot check the model on the control box, call us before ordering, or choose a gift that fits any detector.
Gifts for beach hunters and prospectors
A long-handled beach scoop or a T-handle shovel is a real upgrade for someone who digs every weekend. Prospectors get more gold from a concentrator or a hand dredge, and a tumbler from our cleaning supplies polishes rocks and cleans up relics and jewelry for display.
A first metal detector as a gift
Real entry-level detectors from Minelab, Nokta and Quest fit this range: easy to learn on day one, with enough depth and target ID to keep a new detectorist interested. Several are waterproof for the beach. Compare them side by side in our beginner and intermediate detectors, or see kids metal detectors for younger hunters.
