OKM Fortuna XELA Waterproof Pinpointer

The OKM Fortuna XELA is OKM's waterproof pinpointer, submersible to 5 m (16.4 ft). It detects 360 degrees around the tip, alerts by audio, vibration or both, and has an LED light and a changeable tip with a scraping blade for working a target out of packed soil. OKM lists a 12 kHz frequency and up to 30 hours on one 9V battery, with a low battery alarm and auto-off after 5 minutes, at 206.5 g (7.3 oz). It suits land, beach and shallow water recovery with any detector, and checking the hole when you dig on an OKM 3D scan.

Pair your OKM pinpointer with a digger to complete your kit.

The OKM Fortuna XELA Pinpointer

The Fortuna XELA is OKM's handheld pinpointer for finding small metal items once your detector or scanner has found the spot. OKM names coins, keys, wedding rings and historical artifacts as targets, and lists archaeology, treasure hunting and militaria detection as uses. You put the 360 degree detection tip straight into the hole or the excavated soil, so you find the target without scratching it on your digging tools.

Two touches set it apart. It is waterproof to 5 m (16.4 ft), so wet sand, rain and wading are no problem, and it comes with a changeable tip that includes a scraping blade to help free a target from compacted ground. It runs up to 30 hours on a single 9V battery, warns you when the battery runs low and switches itself off after 5 minutes. OKM covers it with a 2-year guarantee.

Who the Fortuna XELA Suits

The Fortuna XELA suits detectorists who want a well-built, waterproof pointer for land, beach and shallow water, plus the scraping blade for hard soil. Its 5 m (16.4 ft) rating covers wet sand and wading, and the long battery life and 206.5 g (7.3 oz) weight suit all-day hunts. If you dive with a scuba setup and need a deeper rating, compare the other models in our pinpointers collection. For everyday land and beach recovery, the Fortuna XELA covers it.

It also fits OKM's own scanners. The Fusion Light has no shallow metal search coil, and a pinpointer is the quickest way to check the spoil pile when you dig on a scanned target.

What is the scraping blade on the OKM Fortuna XELA for?

The scraping blade on the OKM Fortuna XELA is part of the changeable tip that comes with it, and it helps you work a target loose from packed or compacted soil while you recover it. The 360 degree detection tip then finds the target in the hole or the excavated soil. Pair it with a digger for a full recovery kit.

Answered by Richard T. · October 2026

How long does the OKM Fortuna XELA battery last?

The OKM Fortuna XELA battery lasts up to 30 hours on one 9V battery, according to OKM. A low battery alarm warns you before it runs out, and the pinpointer switches itself off after 5 minutes to save power. The 9V battery comes in the box with the holster and safety cord.

Answered by John W. · October 2026

Can I use the OKM Fortuna XELA with an OKM 3D ground scanner?

Yes, the OKM Fortuna XELA works alongside any detector or scanner, including OKM's 3D ground scanners. Once you dig on a scanned target, it checks the hole and the spoil pile for small metal. That is most useful with the OKM Fusion Light, which has no shallow metal search coil.
