Minelab Pro-Find 35 vs XP MI-6. Depth comparison
On the one hand, it’s a usual comparative test of the Minelab Pro-Find 35, XP MI-6 and Garrett Pro-Pointer AT probes. All three of these units can be submerged in water, are relatively new (fresh models) and have won definite recognition from treasure hunters. Deservedly or not, this is of no interest to us at the moment. It’s the other side of the coin that is of interest. The XP MI-6 is very often called the extra deep device. But it doesn’t fully reflect the actual situation. Yes, the probe is deep enough, but not so deep that you overpay for it. Moreover, you should be aware that even the most expensive (feature packed, recognized, widely promoted etc.) pinpointers can miss targets. Are you surprised? Take a look at this short test – very informative, +25 to any detectorist’s karma guaranteed. Continue reading
Fake Garrett Pro-Pointer AT. Careful, it doesn’t work!
The owners of fake Garrett Pro-Pointer AT complained that… they hadn’t been about to buy a counterfeit Garrett product – it was sold as authentic, maybe a little bit cheaper. So be careful – fake Garrett devices are mainly not personally handed from a seller to a customer but are pushed when it’s a purchase with a delivery option. And it’s impossible, much less just by looking at a picture, to distinguish at once between the fake and original unit. Everything looks similar, the counterfeit probe has even better package appearance. Well, you should know this Chinese approach… And it’s just the minute details because of which you can discern the difference. Half of all fake pinpointers don’t work at all, and even those that are operational fall far short of the authentic product. Moreover, all of them can’t be submerged in water as they leak right on the first submersion (the original is waterproof). Here are the pics (+ what’s inside the fake Garrett Pro-Pointer AT): Continue reading
Garrett PRO Pointer AT Z-Lynk: wireless pinpointer. NEW 2018
In 2016, XP Metal Detectors, the French manufacturer, managed to surprise the metal detecting world with their wireless probe. It’s when you can hear the pinpointer’s audio response right in your headphones or you can make adjustments by using the detector’s control panel. But a much more awesome thing is an ability to remotely activate the alarm mode if your unit is lost. Now it’s 2018, and Garrett, the US manufacturer, has announced its new product – a wireless Garrett PRO Pointer AT Z-Lynk probe. Who would have thought it! In your opinion, will this pinpointer cost more or less than its donor? Continue reading
