Pinpointers - Handheld Target Locators

A pinpointer metal detector cuts recovery from minutes to seconds - it is the single most impactful accessory purchase at any experience level. The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is the world's most popular pinpointer. The Minelab Pro-Find and Nokta Pointer are strong alternatives. For beach and water detecting, use a waterproof pinpointer rated to at least 10 feet - a land pinpointer in the surf zone is quickly destroyed.
