Buying a pinpointer to use with Vaquero. Any known interference problems?

[Coptician]

Lot of choices, just wanting to discount any that are known to interfere. Thanks.

Both my TRX and Garrett "carrot" have no issues with the Vaquero. ^_^

Garrett pro pointer AT (carrot) has no problems for me with any of my detectors.

Thanks. I'm leaning toward the TRX because of the tip only signal. I used a Tesoro Treasure Mate with my Cibola and was happy with it. Online reviews of the TRX report 2-3" depth, which would be a real bonus for some of the fresh drop rich concert venues I have exclusive access to.

I have the Nokta orange one and no problems with that one either

My original no thrills Garrett PP works just fine and dandy with my Trident Extreme the UK version of the Vaquero but on steroids,no interference what so ever.

I HAVE A GARRETT PRO POINTER AND A VAQUERO 11X8 WS. NO ISSUES

Thanks for all your replies. I just ordered a Garret Propointer A/T, mostly because it's waterproof. I live in an area that's got dozens of boat/canoe landings in shallow water. I'm thinking folks emptying canoes/kayaks or transferring gear to land would be a good opportunity for lost goodies. That's my thinking, anyway.

Good choice. You can also change the sensitivity and have a quick retune with the touch of a button. Help because of how sensitive it can be. I use mine on high all the time but then you can back offa bit and retune it and get a better location. It's really cool.
Biggest plus is bo fuss cleaning. Just wash it. Totally waterproof.

I also recommend buying a can of Plasti dip (not the aerosol) and dip the tip into it for 2-3 coats. Helps protect it from scrapes.

Good tip! I might have to do that to mine. I just bought the original Garrett pro pointer from the coin shop that I work at for $90 brand new in the box. We have two left for $100 a piece if anyone wants one.

Check to see if they're real or the fake ones... There are supposedly some copies floating around that don't give the correct # of beeps when you turn 'em on, and the yellow paint reading GARRETT is the wrong color. Pretty sure there's a youtube vid or two about 'em.

They are real. He has had them for a couple of years (4-5) sitting in the back that he forgot to put out front. Everything on the pro pointer is spot on (color, and serial number is correct font).
