The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is the gold standard for professional pinpointing — and this open box unit offers the same professional-grade performance at significant savings. You'll get a fully tested pinpointer that's been returned but shows minimal use, complete with belt holster and battery.
Garrett Pro-Pointer AT Pinpointer Overview
The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT stands out as one of the most trusted pinpointers among serious treasure hunters. Its 11.5 kHz operating frequency and 360-degree detection area make quick work of isolating targets in your dig hole. What sets this pinpointer apart is its fully waterproof design — you can take it 10 feet underwater while beach hunting or searching creeks for lost jewelry.

Where You Can Use the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT
This fully waterproof design handles everything from dry land hunting in parks and fields to underwater treasure recovery at beaches and swimming holes. The orange color provides high visibility when you're working in murky water or low light conditions.
How the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT Finds Hidden Metal
The pinpointer uses an 11.5 kHz frequency to create a detection field around its tip and sides. When metal enters this field, the unit responds with proportional audio tones and vibration that intensify as you move closer to your target. The fast retune feature lets you instantly adjust sensitivity or tune out ground minerals for more precise target isolation.
Professional Pinpointing Tips
Use the lowest sensitivity setting that still detects your target — reduces interference from nearby metal
Press retune while pointing away from targets to shrink the detection field for precise location
The built-in ruler helps measure target depth before you start digging
Turn on vibration mode for silent hunting in noise-sensitive areas
Check battery level regularly — the unit automatically shuts off after extended warning periods
Use the scraping edge to probe soil and help isolate targets from surrounding debris
Clean the pinpointer tip after each hunt to maintain optimal sensitivity
