The recovery tools in this Garrett PRO-Pointer AT bundle
Garrett All Terrain Dig Pouch: a canvas recovery pouch Garrett designed for both water and land hunting. Mesh drain screens let water run out on a water hunt and sift dirt from your finds on land. It has a Pro-Pointer holster, an interior carabiner to secure found rings, a small outer pocket for your best finds and two large zippered pockets to separate trash from treasure. The adjustable belt fits sizes up to 66 inches.
Garrett Edge Digger: a carbon steel digging tool with a 7.5 inch serrated blade that cuts through roots, a total blade length of 12 inches, a non-slip blade guard and a rubber handle. It comes with a Garrett carry sheath for belt mounting. Garrett notes it is carbon steel rather than stainless steel, so it should not be left in water for long.
Key features of the Garrett PRO-Pointer AT
- Waterproof to 20 feet (6 m), IP68: the orange PRO-Pointer AT can go fully under water in creeks, surf and rain, and the color helps you spot it under water.
- Three sensitivity levels: Garrett adds them for better detection of gold nuggets and other tiny targets, with a vibrate-only Stealth Mode as well.
- Fast Retune: a quick button press tunes out the surroundings or narrows the detection field to pinpoint a large target.
- Proportional audio and vibration: the pulse rate rises as the tip gets closer to the target.
- Single-button operation: one button handles power, retune, sensitivity and Stealth Mode.
- Pinpointing tip and 360 degree side-scan detection area, plus a scraping blade for searching soil.
- LED flashlight and molded ruler: the light helps in a dark hole, and the inch and centimeter ruler on the side helps judge target depth.
- Lost pinpointer alarm: after 5 minutes with no button press it chirps, and it powers off after 60 minutes of chirps to save the battery.
- Lanyard attachment loop for tethering it to a belt, pouch or detector.
Where the Garrett PRO-Pointer AT works, and its limits
In our experience the PRO-Pointer AT is an excellent everyday choice for coin, relic and beach hunters, and we like its waterproof construction, proportional audio and vibration, adjustable sensitivity and Fast Retune. When a coin is lodged in the sidewall of a muddy hole, the PRO-Pointer AT helps you locate it without widening the hole unnecessarily. For dry-ground-only detecting on a tighter budget, the PRO-Pointer II is an alternative, and for wireless headphone integration we would choose the PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk.
Getting started with the Garrett PRO-Pointer AT
Start the PRO-Pointer AT at moderate sensitivity, and use Fast Retune to narrow the detection field around a large or nearby target. The common mistake we see is running maximum sensitivity in difficult soil and mistaking unstable responses for additional targets.
