Why are the Whites TRX Pinpointers in such demand???

[silverseeker 2]

What is it about the Whites TRX pinpointer that makes it so PRICEY and a demand for them. I use a Garrett and Uni-probe
and couldn't see a need for anything different. What gives with these???

Some like the behavior, the depth and sensitivity. That is all.

 

[woodbutcher]

No reason at all imo. 90 % of the people wanting them now never wanted one before, just cause people are asking crazy prices for a pinpointer everyone thinks it’s a run.lol

Get 5 inches on a nickel and 3.5" on dimes, all done with tip only detection. Is there any other pinpointer made that can do that today?

Now, they aren't being made since Whites Electronics is no more. simple supply and demand.

I didn't know they were in demand. I had one and didn't care for it at all. Went back to my Carrott.

I still have 2 the biggest advantage is depth with tip only 4 inches on pennys . The depth comes in play when you have coins in that 4 inch range can pinpoint them very easy instead of having to use your detector to locate . Hard to detect a banger exactly where it is with your detector . I am glad I bought a backup when I bought mine .sube

I have two also. I always choose the TRX when using a small trowel in parks. The tip detection (best compared to a flashlight beam) lets me know if the target was on the side and missed PLUS with the deepest detection , as said above, is great for pinpointing coins up to 4” deep.
When detecting fields and using a shovel I find the F pulse better (faster).
Those two are the best imo.

The Quest pro pinpointer is tip only also but I don't think it is as sensitive, I have the Quest and an MI6 but I have been using the carrot for so long I just use my beater Garrett carrot most of the time, what I usually do is locate my target in the hole with the carrot and then I use the Quest to tell me if it's iron or not. I am a Whites fanatic but for some reason I never owned a trx pinpointer

I have quite a few pointers and the TRX is my favorite. I could sell it for more than I paid for it but I am not going to do so. In well manicured areas, I only use a screwdriver to pop coins out and if the TRX won't hit it, I won't try to dig it. It has been worth every penny and if I find one for an only slightly outrageous price, I will probably have another. That's why the price is so high.

Kind of makes me want a TRX.
Still using a Garrett Pro (not Pro II or AT).
The F-Pulse looks interesting but I'm not there yet.

I have never needed more than the Garrett ProPointer could deliver. If it doesn't beep, I didn't dig deep enough. Lots of data in that regarding size and depth.

I've found boost on the Quest to be quite impressive.
