{"product":{"id":8289493647644,"title":"XP Metal Detectors MI-4 Waterproof Pinpointer Metal Detector with Holster and Lanyard","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe XP MI-4 is a rechargeable waterproof pinpointer built for detectorists who need fast target recovery without the radio-link premium of the MI-6. XP Deus and ORX owners hunting trashy parks, saltwater beaches, and freshwater sites get the same core feature set as the MI-6 (6 sensitivity programs, dual audio modes, vibration feedback, 20ft waterproof rating) at a lower entry price. The MI-4 trades the Deus radio connection for standalone operation, making it a practical choice for detectorists running non-XP machines or hunting with a backup pinpointer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the XP MI-4\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP MI-4 waterproof pinpointer with rechargeable lithium battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating holster for belt carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack lanyard with stainless steel ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB charging cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Detectorists Running XP and Multi-Brand Setups Reach for the MI-4\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRechargeable lithium battery eliminates the 9-volt swap routine common to budget pinpointers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof to 6 meters (20 feet) for wading river hunts, surf-zone detecting, and rain-soaked park sessions without a protective cover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix sensitivity programs and three levels per program give you granular control in trashy iron-contaminated sites where a single-sensitivity pinpointer false-triggers constantly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual audio modes (pitch or pulse) plus vibration feedback let you run silent in crowded parks or switch to audible tones when gloves dampen vibration feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in France at XP's facility, backed by a 2-year warranty and the same build quality as the MI-6.

The MI-4's six-program sensitivity range lets you dial back reactivity when the hole lights up with multiple targets. Start at program 3 (mid sensitivity) for general park work, drop to program 1 or 2 when iron falsing spikes, climb to program 5 or 6 in clean sand or mulch. The fast re-tune button (single press) nulls ground noise without cycling through menus. Pitch mode gives you a rising tone as you close on the target, pulse mode delivers rapid beeps that tighten as the tip nears metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSaltwater Beach Hunting in Wet Sand and Surf\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20-foot waterproof rating covers wading hunts in chest-deep surf and accidental submersion when a wave knocks you off balance. Rinse the MI-4 in fresh water after each saltwater session to clear salt residue from the speaker grille and charging port cover. Run program 2 or 3 in wet sand to avoid false signals from mineralization, switch to vibration-only mode when wave noise drowns out the speaker. The rotating holster clips to your belt or detector harness and pivots 360 degrees so the pinpointer rides horizontal during wading without snagging your wetsuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/MI-4_Pinpointer_01_inline.jpg?v=1779913775\" alt=\"XP MI-4 waterproof pinpointer metal detector with red shaft and black upper body against white background\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares to other XP pinpointers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MI-4 shares the MI-6's core hardware (waterproof construction, rechargeable battery, six programs, dual audio modes) but omits the radio link to the Deus detector.
