Pinpointer FAQs
Can I use a pinpointer for metal detecting?
Pinpointers are best used in tandem with a normal metal detector. Larger metal detectors allow you to sweep large areas in a relatively short amount of time. Then, once you’ve identified an area of interest, a pinpointer is fantastic at finding smaller targets as they are incredibly sensitive.
How deep can a pinpointer detect?
As with other metal detectors, different models can detect different levels of depth - it all comes down to what you’re looking for and your own search conditions. If you want some advice on which pinpointer would be right for you, feel free to get in touch with our friendly team who can help you choose.
Which pinpointer is best?
This again depends on what you are looking for. Depending on the model, pinpointers can be water resistant, have different operating frequencies and some models even use rechargeable batteries. As an independent company, we are proud to be able to offer a variety of metal detecting pinpointers so that there’s something for everyone.
What is the difference between a pinpointer and a metal detector?
A pinpointer is essentially a miniature, handheld version of a normal metal detector. Standard metal detectors are larger and the user is upright, whereas pinpointers are used after you’ve located your target and dug your hole.
Another thing to keep in mind is that pinpointers cannot usually discriminate between ferrous and non-ferrous targets, although this may well change in the future with more advanced developments in technology.
