Quest XPointer Max Waterproof Pinpointer with Discrimination and Magic Holster

The Quest XPointer Max is a pinpointer that answers the question every other pinpointer ignores: is the target worth digging out? Quest's flagship probe combines VLF and balanced induction technology to indicate ferrous versus non-ferrous before you tear up the hole wall, flagging the difference with a two color LED beam, distinct audio, and vibration. Add an OLED status display, four sensitivity levels, a 16 ft (5 m) waterproof rating in fresh and saltwater, and the clever Magic Holster that puts the unit to sleep between digs, and the XPointer Max earns its spot on the belt of any serious detectorist.

Know Before You Dig

Every detectorist knows the ritual: the machine says dig, the hole gets deep, and the pinpointer screams at what turns out to be a rusted nail folded into the side wall. The XPointer Max breaks that cycle. Its discrimination circuit separates iron from non-ferrous targets right in the hole, so you spend your energy on the signals that can actually be silver, copper, or gold. The RAIT audio and vibration response intensifies as the tip closes on the target, the probe carries extra sensitivity toward the tip for precise sniffing, and a target intensity meter on the OLED display backs up your ears. Four sensitivity levels let you match the probe to trashy soil, clean sand, or a cramped dig hole, and the louder speaker cuts through wind and surf noise. When the target is out and the celebration is over, drop the Max into its Magic Holster: the unit goes to standby automatically and wakes ready when you draw it, stretching a charge to about 14 hours of real hunting. A lost alarm makes sure the pinpointer that finds your treasure never becomes a treasure for someone else.
