The Teknetics TEK-POINT Pinpointer
The TEK-POINT is Teknetics' all-conditions pinpointer, and its calling card is pulse-induction detection — uncommon in a pointer, where VLF is the norm. That PI design holds a quiet, stable threshold in heavily mineralized ground and wet salt sand, the very conditions that trip up other pointers. It's waterproof to 6 feet, with three sensitivity levels, proportional response that ramps up as you near the find, and your choice of beep-and-vibrate or silent vibrate-only alerts. Rounding it out: one-button operation, a retune function, an adjustable LED light, a lost-mode alarm, auto shutdown, and a tough abrasion-resistant shell. It takes two AA batteries and works alongside any metal detector.
Who Is the TEK-POINT For?
The TEK-POINT suits detectorists who hunt difficult ground — saltwater beaches, black sand, and mineralized soil where a VLF pointer struggles — and anyone after a dependable, waterproof pointer on standard AA batteries at a value price. Because it's brand-agnostic, it's an easy add to any detector setup or a reliable backup pinpointer. For dry, mild-ground park hunting a standard VLF pointer is plenty; the TEK-POINT's pulse-induction design pays off when the ground turns hostile.
Teknetics Pinpointer FAQs
Is the Teknetics TEK-POINT waterproof?
Yes — the TEK-POINT is waterproof to 6 feet, so it's at home in wet sand, shallow water, rain, and mud for beach and freshwater recovery.
Why does pulse induction matter in a pinpointer?
Most pinpointers run VLF, which can false in mineralized ground and salt water. The TEK-POINT's pulse-induction design largely ignores that mineralization, giving a steadier, quieter response in tough conditions — the same reason PI is preferred for saltwater and goldfield detectors.
Does the TEK-POINT work with any detector?
Yes. It's a standalone pinpointer that works alongside any brand or model of metal detector, so it drops into any setup without compatibility concerns.
