I don’t know how good a new Minelab PRO-Find 35 is, it hasn’t reached my hands yet (I have already ordered and am waiting for it to arrive). But one thing I can say for sure: the latest new probes are obviously better than the previous ones. This is in reference to the XP MI-6, Minelab PRO-Find 15, Minelab PRO-Find 35, Teknetics Tek-Point, and Fisher F-Pulse. And each of them comes not without secret. Continue reading
It’s really a shame that the MD-Hunter blog didn’t exist in the ’60s. We would have known for certain who and when was the first to make (and set to launch for sale) a pinpointer. As now it is anybody’s guess… Garrett, Fisher, or White’s? Today, any serious MD manufacturer has at least one probe in its lineup. Interestingly, it is not so simple to make a pinpointer. For instance, Nel promised to manufacture a super probe but failed. XP has managed to produce its pinpointer just now. Besides, this year (2017) we have seen 5 new devices at once: the XP MI-6, Minelab PRO-Find 35 / 15, Tenetics Tek-Point, and Fisher F-Pulse. Do you know what unites them? Great depth and ability to withstand submersion. Continue reading
I took the Fisher F-Pulse (same as the Teknetics Tek-Point) in my hands, and… at max sensitivity it turned out to be a real ‘Sword of the Jedi’. This device can definitely stand comparison with some inexpensive metal detector. Do you have a Garrett ACE 250 with a stock coil? I am going to you then and rip you to shreds, in terms of depth )) Continue reading
No matter you want it or not, but pinpointers have increasingly greater depth capabilities. The joke about the probe that can surpass some low-cost metal detector equipped with a 7-8 inch coil is not a joke anymore, but a reality. And above all, when they tried to increase the pinpointer’s detection depth before, it resulted in lots of false signals, hence turning the device from a helpful tool into the one that is a pain. But now, some metal detector manufacturers have got an increased depth and stable operation provided at the same time. Here’s a Fisher F-Pulse depth test. Do you find this depth good?

Picking up a gold ring lying flat at a 12 cm depth is an awesome result for a pinpointer. Here’s the Teknetics Tek-Point review and depth testing on coins and jewelry. After watching this video I want to try this probe in practice. Continue reading
