    aussie question mostly?:ausflag:

    this is a question mainly for fellow aussie detectorists? do you use an electronic pinpointer or is your detector so accurate when searching for the target in the ground, that you only need a implement to pop the target out of the ground? i was chasing down a pinpointer to-day from a retailer...
