{"product":{"id":8289343701276,"title":"Quest XPointer Max Waterproof Pinpointer with Discrimination and Magic Holster","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eQuest XPointer Max\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnow Before You Dig\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/xpointer-max-magic-holster.jpg?v=1786738749\" alt=\"Quest XPointer Max magic holster demostration\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuest XPointer Max pinpointer\u003c\/strong\u003e with hard shell protected probe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagic Holster\u003c\/strong\u003e with anti-slip design and automatic standby function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo probe tip protectors\u003c\/strong\u003e to take the wear of scraping through soil and gravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB charging cable\u003c\/strong\u003e for the built in rechargeable battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard\u003c\/strong\u003e for securing the Max to your belt or harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eXPointer Max Performance Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVLF plus balanced induction detection with ferrous and non-ferrous indication before you dig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo color LED beam, RAIT audio, and vibration alerts, alone or combined for any conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOLED display with target intensity meter, sensitivity setting, and battery status at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof to 16 ft (5 m) in fresh and saltwater for creek, surf, and shallow water recoveries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour sensitivity levels with extra sensitivity concentrated at the probe tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic Holster standby stretches the built in 1000 mAh Li-Po battery to about 14 hours per charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB rechargeable through the top cap, no disposable batteries to buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost alarm sounds off before the pinpointer gets left behind at a dig site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple two button control that works in gloves and murky water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eXPointer Max at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology:\u003c\/strong\u003e VLF plus balanced induction with ferrous discrimination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 ft (5 m), fresh and saltwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlerts:\u003c\/strong\u003e two color LED beam, audio, and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e OLED with target intensity meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e four adjustable levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e built in 1000 mAh Li-Po, USB rechargeable, about 14 hours with Magic Holster standby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtras:\u003c\/strong\u003e lost alarm, Magic Holster, two tip protectors, lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which XPointer fits your hunting?
