Who has used both the pro-pointer and the pistol probe?

[Bill_S]

What did you like or dislike about both. I currently use the pistol probe but I have a new in the box pro-pointer. Cant decide to whether keep the Garrett or sell it. I really like the depth the pistol probe gets........;o)

I'm using both of them.
Out of the box side by side, the PistolProbe is more sensitive and deeper detecting.
Size wise you know.
The Pro-Pointer fits in the leg tool pocket of my coveralls when prospecting and therefore more convenient to carry.
There is a very simple way to increase both the sensitivity and dept of the Pro-Pointer to beyond that of the PistolProbe.
Details on how to do it can be seen here.

And your problem is?

Bill,
Have you used the Propointer? I get 2 inches on a coin and better than that on a tab. The pistol looks like a gun to me.(hence the name) Plus the switch seems a little awkward. I haven't owned a pistol but used one a little and it just didn't feel too whippy to me. I vote for the Propointer.

 

[Bill_S]

And your problem is?

Could use the extra cash if I sold the pro-pointer but dont want to start using it and then sell it used if I dont like it.......Was just wanting some opinions.

Oh, by the way, Bill_S, if I were you I'd sell the pistol probe. Good luck. Happy Hunting

Man! That doesn't work either. I guess ya' just have to type it in.Or, just check it out on the garrett Infinium Prospectors Network. Good luck! Have fun!

Thanks. Followed the link, tried the trick with the metal. It really works. Got me to thinking if it work for on a metal detector the same way.

Can't remember where it is but some guy made a similar post only he used aluminum foil. I have yet to try it.

Here is a use for them otherwise useless stainless steel rings often found on beaches.

Imagine how useful it could have been, had been included in a review or field test.

Some make it happen.

Some watch it happen.

Some wonder what happened.
