Metal Detector Pinpointer - SUNPOW IP68 Waterproof Handheld Pin Pointer Wand with Belt Holster Treasure Hunting Tool Accessories, pinpointers for metal detecting, Buzzer Vibration Sound (Three Mode)

I thought it was going to feel cheap, surprised to find it's well made, chunky, easy to use, waterproof and Accurate...feels like a quality Pinpointer. Battery life will depend on use...It has 3 modes inc vibrate, LCD Screen, good sensitivity detection....why would i want to pay 6-7 times this amount for a named Brand that basically does the same job...I'm on a budget as a beginner detectorist and this is ideal for my needs...I do however intend to get a rechargeable 9v battery which will cut the overall cost of buying batteries..A basic 9v battery is included with this Pinpointer, a velcro pouch holder, And a soft fleece bag to keep it clean and protected.

Easy to use for metal detecting and a nice size for adults and children. Good value for money and fun to use. Noise level good and display.

It's feels good and detects at a good distance from the tip ,don't know if it will last, only time will tell .

Good handheld metal detector. The beep frequency is excellent and its sensitivity

Really good quality and my son found half a penny in our garden

Excellent

At the time of purchase, I was after a mid budget pinpointer for my recent metal detecting hobby. Initially it worked fine, although unlike other pin pointers, it interfered with my minelab metal detector when switched on and vice versa, so had to power off the detector when I used it which I accepted, but annoying. This is noted by other reviews. The split ring connecting the pinpointer to the lanyard is poor quality and soon broke off. Found that it wouldn’t pick up certain types of small finds. After using it in the field for 3 weeks use. Started noticing that it was using 9 volt batteries after one days detecting ( roughly 25 minutes use), with light use and not in contact with water, when it states it has 12 hours battery life usage. Then it stopped altogether. Since it past the 2 week Amazon return policy, used the link to contact the supplier/ manufacturer/ importer and sent 2 emails regarding the issues. Allowed several weeks for them to reply, but without a response. So forget their 12 months binding warranty agreement. Another case of another Chinese company that doesn’t live up to its promise and after care service. Contacted Amazon and explained the situation. Since I followed the procedure to try and resolve the issue with Sunpow but without success, they fully understood my situation and agreed to refund on return of the pinpointer to them and they will take up the matter with Sunpow.So if you’re considering taking up metal detecting, I have followed the advice of fellow experienced detectorists and gone for one of the more established pin pointer's brands from an established retailer Crawford, chosen the Garrett ‘carrot’ AT as used by the vast majority of the members. I have learnt my lesson and should have followed the club members advice. Fortunately did take their advice regarding the metal detector choice and having great results with the Minelab terra elite.So save yourself heartache, frustration and being disappointed. Avoid the Sunpow pinpointer.

Not sure if I needed this as I bought it, but I really, really did need it!! I have found a lot more due to this, or at least I found stuff quicker. I haven't checked it underwater yet but if there is a problem I will add it to the review. You get a sleeve to keep it in and also a pocket to put on a strap or a belt. Really easy to use. It has 3 modes to choose from, each selected by pressing on the only button on the pinpointed. You have beeping only, vibrate only and beeping and vibration together. That is what I set it to. The range and depth this wand finds metal is very impressive. I have no experience in other pinpointed but I am very impressed with this one. I hope not to have to change for a very long time!!
