Teknetics TEK-POINT Waterproof Pinpointer with Belt Holster

The Teknetics TEK-POINT is a pulse induction pinpointer waterproof to 6 feet with three sensitivity levels and proportional audio/vibration alerts. Detectorists hunting beaches, rivers, or mineralized ground need a pinpointer that won't false in saltwater or hot rocks, and the TEK-POINT's bipolar pulse induction design delivers stable target identification where VLF pinpointers struggle. Teknetics built this tool for all-condition recovery work, pairing it with abrasion-resistant construction, an LED flashlight, and a lost-mode alarm for field durability.

Why Detectorists Reach for the TEK-POINT

• Pulse induction stability in saltwater and mineralized soil: the bipolar PI circuit eliminates ground interference that causes VLF pinpointers to chatter on wet sand or hot rocks.
• Waterproof to 6 feet for shallow water recovery: fully sealed battery compartment with rubber O-ring lets you work tidal zones, creek beds, and rain-soaked fields without hesitation.
• Three sensitivity levels for target separation in trashy sites: switch between high, medium, and low to isolate a keeper from surrounding iron or foil in a dense scatter.
• 25-hour battery life on two AA alkalines: extended runtime means fewer mid-hunt battery swaps, especially on multi-day trips or all-day beach sessions.
• Proportional response tightens recovery time: audio and vibration intensity increase as you approach the target, letting you zero in on coins buried edge-on or small jewelry in coarse sand. Browse our waterproof pinpointers to compare submersible models across brands.

Pulse Induction Performance in Saltwater and Mineralized Ground

Wet-Sand Stability on Saltwater Beaches

The TEK-POINT's 2500 pulses-per-second bipolar circuit cancels the conductive saltwater signal that causes VLF pinpointers to false continuously below the tide line. We've used the TEK-POINT in knee-deep surf and saturated sand without the chatter that forces constant retunes on competing models. Set sensitivity to high for maximum depth on small targets like earring backs, or drop to medium when working a dense shell layer to reduce response from mineralized fragments. The 15-microsecond sample delay rejects ground minerals while preserving sensitivity to low-conductors like gold and platinum, so you're not digging every hot rock in a black-sand zone.

Target Separation in Iron-Contaminated Park Sites

Pulse induction's broad-spectrum response detects all metals without discrimination, which means the TEK-POINT will signal on iron nails and aluminum pull-tabs alongside silver coins. In a trashy park site, run low sensitivity to shrink the detection field and isolate your detector's target from surrounding junk. The proportional alert lets you trace the signal peak to the exact coin location even when a nail sits two inches away. Retune at ground level before each recovery to null out ambient interference from nearby detectors or overhead power lines.
