Does anyone have a used pinpointer I. Have the ace 250 and need a more accurate pinpointer or any reccomandations
 
Try this video:

or, my favorite method with the concentric coils as shown below:
 
Get the pro-pinpointer no matter the cost (127.00) It has saved me the hassle of locating the target by half. There are other pin-pointers out there, but their all around durabilty is still questionable.
 
I just don't like how it dosent detect on the tip it goes all aonjg the side so to me it seems like its not accurate but I could be wrong
 
I bought a new Propointer and have been very happy with it. Recommend adding some orange tape in case you lose it, it may be easier to find.
 
I think what Tycearoo is saying ( I may be wrong) is it should only detect at the tip. Sometimes I agree. I have had a target that showed about 4 inches deep on my F2. When I dig my plug the target was only about an inch deep and was in the side of my hole. My pro pointer was beeping even though the tip of the pointer was way down in the hole and the target was up at the top of the hole in the hande. I know sometimes simpler is better but some times it would be nice if you could hit the power button once and just activate the tip or hit it twice and power up the entire length of the pointer. I have dug in some rubber mulch and sometimes it is handy when the entire pointer works because I can sweep it across and find targets in that mulch faster.
 
It will detect on the tip and side. One way to locate the target when you aren't sure where it is - get it close and beeping, shut it off and without moving it, turn it back on. It will only beep when closer to the target.
