Just remember the higher your sensitivity the less battery life you’ll get. I have found it helpful to have my pinpointer on the highest sensitivity setting when chasing deep targets that might still be a few inches below the bottom of my initial hole.

Not all detectorists may need sensitivity adjustment, but it can come in handy. The more recent model can be set to one of three sensitivity settings and can also operate in different audio modes: sound only, sound and vibration, or vibration only (not available on the Pro Pointer II). While a reasonably sensitive machine, the Pro Pointer II does not boast the adjustable sensitivity of the Pro Pointer AT. Sensitivity in pinpointers is a critical issue and can be a bit of a tightrope walk. This model was further updated in 2017 when a version of the Pro Pointer compatible with Z-Lynk technology (Garrett’s wireless audio system) was released in conjunction with the AT Max. The main drawback of these pinpointers for many detectorists was that they were water-resistant rather than waterproof, a problem solved by introducing the Pro Pointer AT in 2015. Garrett released its first iteration of the Pro Pointer back in 2008, later followed by the Pro Pointer II.

GARRETT PRO POINTER SERIES
But they offer three different models in their Pro Pointer series – which is suitable for you and your detecting style? Garrett’s pinpointers are some of the most popular, rugged, and reliable units on the market.
