GP Pinpointer Review - Metal Detecting UK - pinpointer metal detector.

thanks for sharing Ross, I've just started with the cheaper one, does the job

The GPS Pointer is as good as most pinpointers. I always find with these comparisons that the tests show them in a bad light just so it justifies spending ridiculous amounts on name brands. There's far too much dick waving going on in metal detecting. You could spend thousands and still dig up crap.

Not a lot of difference considering the price range, Ross.

I have a newer Garrett pinpointer, it's a piece of gear I couldn't go without. Thank you for sharing I just Subscribed!

I used one all last of summer, it was faulting a lot when i first got it, I opened it up, took out the winded rod out that was in it ,I then used a fair-rite core rod out of an old am radio, put a 150 turns of 0.28awg wire, i removed a capacitor were the coil connects on the circuit put it all back together and been using ever since with out a problem. sensitivity is ok but, For the price! it's well worth it, like you said, spend that extra 100$ on the detector and learn to live with a cheap pnpointer will serve you better in the long run.

Just saw you in the live stream

Watching your video and enjoy your channel. Beautiful day to do this.

muito bom

I just got one of these pinpointers. I'm happy with it so far. I haven't had the wallet to experience a Garrett yet so I have nothing to compare it to but I'm happy with it, especially for the price.

Well done on the silverrrrrr bud 👍😁

for this price i think this is wery nice pointer

ordered it last night  got it today £20 bargan

this video its so cool

Just picked one of these gp pointers for £12 on eBay, hopefully I'll get to test it out soon

i bought a gp pointer havnt evan used it yet it wont work but the light works

Good review! Congratulations on your silver!

Had GP Pointer for 2 days and now it does not work.

Yeah i use a gp pointer with a 400 I on the beach in Australia if the detecter tell me its there the pointer finds sure enough i would like a Garret but cant afford one and dont know if it would be better anyway

Here's a mod for g.p owners. Hold the pointer tip up. Shine a bright flashlight against the tip. If the light goes through, your coil hasn't been seated properly. This is the main cause of g.p pinpointer disappointment. This happens with at least 50% of the units sold.Thankfully, its an easy fix. Pop the rubber cap off the switch (very easy to do). Take at least a one foot length of stiff, thin wire. I did mine with mechanics wire. Bend a small handle for grip. Make sure the wire will reach the tip by laying the wire on the pinpointer and check switch to tip distance. Put a slight curve in the wire, then slide the wire along the left side the switch till you feel resistance. Gently push a bit harder, and the coil will slide right to the tip. Pull wire out gently, then replace rubber switch cover. You will be amazed at the difference. It tripled the tip strength, and toned down the falsing quite a bit. Now I get torn between using my Garrett carrot, and my G.P. Happy digging, Hank
P.s I also know a clean, easy, chemical free,cheap way to waterproof your g.p pinpointer, or just want to protect the tip from sharp rocky soil, or abrasive beach sand. Ding me with a reply if anyone's interested. Regards, Hank

i orderd one of wish £8 with postage ,congrats on your coin,all the best.

Why does my pip pointer spaz out?

Thanks for your information and and also believe that the pointer can find only 2/3 inches down objects....no more deep power to find out more.... thanks for your information

Buenas...Consulta: compre el detector y lo calibre correctamente, lo paso por objetos metálicos y coincide con lo explicado en el video, ahora bien: cuando lo paso por una piedra que encontré el detector registra algo, pero lo interesante y que me llama la atención es que cuando lo alejo de la piedra este sigue sonando (con los otros objetos metales no sucede) alguien sabe porque puede suceder?? Saludos y gracias

how much?

Great video enjoyed well done on the finds

You can use a paper clip and black plastic tape for fine tuning or calibrating.

I have watched a bunch of these reviews and each time the GP seems to perform as well as the Garrett if not a little better at times. I do not doubt that it is not as well made, but for 1/5th the price it does ok.

Dude stop

Thaaaaank you

Nooooooh your lie

It's garbage nothing compare
