A DIY coiled lanyard for a pinpointer can easily be made out of lawn-mower fishing line. And the most important thing is that this option allows you to make the lanyard of any length. See the photo report.
All about a pinpointer is collected here. If your probe has no lanyard attachment loop, you can easily add it. Here are 2 options.
nice, i didnt know you could do this spring thingy like that.
Very clever way of making one to your own spec, maybe add some fishing braid for extra strength and wear + tear, thanks for the great idea!
How do you attach the clips to the ends of the lanyard?
