How do you like the Deus pin pointer?

[Mark kus]

They’re on sale so I grabbed one at big boys $159.00!!!
Just wondering how people like them?
Thanks

If it worked like it should it would be great. If Xp would ever get v4.1 out, it would probably work great. But until it does or they do, I'll stick to my Garrett carrot.

Don't know don't have one yet moneys tight at Christmas.

I used mine yesterday for approx 4 hours in a relic field.

Used with round HF coil.

Dynamite performer.
Really speeds up recovery,,,especially when wearing full headphones with Deus.

Pointer really does have some good increment sensivity (audio) when pointer is approaching metal in holes, dirt, plugs.

Don't have to run sensitivity too high to get great performance either.

I have experienced problems using poi Pinter though with elliptical a HF coil.
So don't recommend to use with that particualr coil yet.

Hopefully version update will fix this discrepancy.
Cheers and HH.

I haven't used pointer very much with 9" LF coil, but when I did it did well.

I have used the MI-6 for some months and it works fine.

The only problem, as I have said before is the variable time delay when changing from the coil to the probe and returning to the coil.

Sometimes its a little frustrating, but thats probably my impatience as I want to move on.LOL.

Happy Hunting,

Jerry.

That is right Jerry. I have used mine for a few months now. I think it works well in red, mineralized soil. It may false some, but not often and you can tell it quickly. I never think about the sensitivity. It is a little slow to connect sometimes, but that seems customary now. I did notice the other day that it did not disconnect without turning the headphones off and back on. That was a little different. I noticed that something wasn't right and looked at my controller and it was showing the horseshoe but the pinpointer was still connected.....But, it is a good tool and will be better. Hopefully, soon.....

 

[Mark kus]

Thanks for the feedback my main reason is the ability to recharge it they say run time is 90 hours!? And of course to link to my machine..

 

[PHIL C. MOORE]

I like way it work with the detector. Put been having trouble with it when I hunting, losing the coil. having to stop an repair it too coil. Got the one on sale. Been using it with the HF coil.

 

[JBM1]

I think that using 4.1 BETA 2 improved things for me.

The official 4.???? should be out soon.

Happy Hunting,

Jerry.

Mkus, trust me you got a bargain. I won't use anything else now. It holds a charge forever although I put on the charger every couple of weeks. Gives a loud clear tone thats adjustable. Its not perfect. There is a time delay to connect and you have to get used to turning if off every time you pull an object to reconnect and of course it occasionally drops the phone or coil connection, but these are minor annoyances which hopefully 4.1 will address. Oh and I useit mainly with the HF elliptical and it works fine. I've had to have the carrot replaced because it tends to lock on a tone even when removed from the ground(the new one still does it) plus it eats batteries. Enjoy and HH.

Great thanks it will be here tomorrow just sold my etrac with the RNB battery and I went weeks without charging that it was crazy so I’ll be excited not to have to have a dead 9 volt battery in my pin pointer!

 

[Mark kus]

Man I really like this pointer used it today and it worked great I have not linked it yet to my Deus yet but I will soon

 

[Goldpick]

Whilst it does still have a few software niggles, I still really enjoy using the Mi-6 - both in wireless and standalone format. My other main pinpointer is the Garrett Carrot, and I find that tends to run away with a bit of falsing in mineralised areas, moreso than the Mi-6. Both great pinpointers, even if you take the mi-6 wireless capabilty out of the equation and use it with another brand of detector. Question is on how it will go up against Fisher and Minelab's new offerings when looking at value for money vs offered features and performance.

Well I would think if you have a Deus like I do it’s a no brainer for me against the minelab and fisher because you can link it to the Deus and you can charge it on the same charger..

At the prices they are selling for now (got mine for $150 shipped) you cannot pass this deal up! I bought a second one for my second Deus unit. I have used my first one hard and heavy and it has never failed me.
