I've never seen that one before.

BUT FOR THE PRICE
&
IF IT WORKS.
I wouldn't mind having one for a backup to my Vibraprobe.

Here is another low cost one. Hey if you have an ACE you may like the matching color or be mistaken for carrying a yellow pistol.

Pinpointer Metal Detector For Pinpointing

Definitely is a back up probe. Works OK in very loose dirt, but under 40 degrees temp it goes into hibernation. (i.e. it quits working )

That yeller one would be harder to lose due to its color.
But if I pulled it out at some of the sites I have been to, someone just might pull out a real gun

and scare the poop out of me.

Either that or they will run thinking you have a laser and invaded earth from another planet.

Ive used the little wizzard for some time now. They arent sealed very well so you may have to replace them on occassion. Hey, but they do work great and easily hit metal targets 2" or deeper.

Great. Thanks for the info. I just ordered on. I figured for this price how could you go wrong? Paying over $100 for a pinpointer seems like a lot.

I was watching the video section of this site and saw one of the folks using a pinpointer. I realized that this will help speed up the search vs. digging through the dirt.

The Little Wizard pin pointer came in the mail today.

The probe can be adjusted for sensitive and they say Ground Balancing.

I tested it (in open air, no soil) it can detect a quarter from around 2 -3.5 inches away and (okay a kitchen knife) from about 6 inches.

I think it will do the job to help a person to find coins in loose soil once you started digging. It should be a good timesaver and hey the price is right.
