Since the Centech was made for nails....
I would say it works pretty good with non-ferrous metals, too!

How did it compare to the Bullseye II from White's ?

cool tests & vids, thanks!

I already posted a test with the same items for the Whites Bullseye II, on the Whites Bullseye section of the pinpointer section.

The Cen-Tech reads most all the items 1/4 of an inch deeper than the Bullseye II.

Thumbs up Nice video!

I really like the variety of items you did your test with. It is not always coins that get uncovered on hunts!

Thanks, I had searched around and couldn't find a "test" video that showed an assortment of items. So I made one, of the Vibra-Probe 460, the Whites Bullseye II, the Harbor Freight Cen-Tech and the Garrett Pro-Pointer, pinpointers.
