From past experience on Garrett....the guarantee does not reset on a replacement pinpointer (even though it's new)!
I can see no logic in this....perhaps that's just me!

So far grabbing a hand full of dug soil and waving it in front of the coil does it for me. I have never owned a pinpointer.

Each to their own, but pinpointers can be great time savers especially onthe teeny weeny bits. :D

I'm never in a rush when out on the fields and sweeping the soil across the coil is half the fun for me, but as you say, each to their own.

Hi Fred,
I’ve got the red one on the left. Heavy use for over 2 years. Never missed a beat. Ive worn the end away but it still works!

Most of them work fine but not all of them feel right. They can be too big, unbalanced, the buttons are in the wrong place or they take too long to turn on or off (or both). :thumbsup:
