The OKM Fortuna XELA Pinpointer
The Fortuna XELA is OKM's handheld pinpointer, designed to locate coins, rings, keys, and small artifacts precisely so you can recover them without scratching a find on your digging tools. It detects 360° around the tip, signals with your choice of audio, vibration, or both, and includes an LED flashlight for low-light digging. Two practical touches set it apart: it's waterproof to 16.4 feet — deeper than many pointers — and it comes with a changeable tip that incorporates a scraping blade to help free targets from compacted ground. It runs up to 30 hours on a 9V battery, with a low-battery alarm and auto-off, and weighs just 7.3 ounces.
Who Is the Fortuna XELA For?
The Fortuna XELA suits detectorists who want a well-built, deeply waterproof pointer for land, beach, and shallow-water hunting, plus the convenience of a built-in scraping blade for digging targets out of hard soil. Its 16.4-foot waterproof rating makes it comfortable in wet sand and shallow water, and the long battery life and low weight suit all-day hunts. If you specifically need a deep-dive scuba pinpointer, look to a 200-foot model; for everyday land and beach recovery, the Fortuna XELA covers it.
