Gets the job done
I bought this pinpointer because of its price and it has exceeded my expectations.
My wife uses a detectnix that has a 2-2.5" range and using it can be frustrating, you don't know where your find really is. The Bounty Hunter reads a coin sized object 1" from the tip, making it easy to find the item. The small wand works great in loose soil for popping your target out as well.
It is my primary pinpointed now but it makes a good backup to a more expensive unit as well.Read full review

Not very good at all
Got this for my grandson and his first detector I did not want to buy a top of line g^^^^tt or w^^^^s but hoped this would be some what decent but it is not... by the time you get the gain turned down to where it settles down the probe tip has to practically touch the object to sound off. By the time this pointer sounds off you usually have visual of the object. This to me defeats the purpose of a pinpointer. This pointer is only good for string the soil around to find the object. If you want something to just stir the soil save your money and take a spoon with you, if you want a pinpointer but can't afford the price of a new higher end pointer that actually does it's job look for a deal on a used one.Read full review

Does the job
This pinpointer does exactly what it's supposed to do, pinpoint your finds. Oh, you could spend $80 or more for a Garret and the like, if you're lazy, but I don't see the point. To be fair, the other big brands don't have a knob you could bump and upset your setting like this one does. A pain for sure. If the sensitivity is set correctly, you will have to be within an inch of your find before it will buzz. So long as you keep your setting maintained, you're good to go. If considering getting one, do it, it's $40 well spent. I wouldn't want to be without it.Read full review

A plus Budget Pin Pointer
This very low cost pin pointer works extremely well. It beeps and vibrates when it is close to an object made of metal. It will let you know when the tip of the pointer is close to small coins, rings etc.. hidden in the soil. My pointer beeps within around 3/4" to 1" distance from an object. The plastic body of the pointer is well designed with a comfortable hand grip. The power comes from a 9 volt battery stored within the handle and is easy to change.
A dial on-off switch located at the front of the handle also adjusts for sensitivity, although setting the switch requires the highest adjustment.
At the low cost that I paid for my pointer I am very satisfied because it works well and does the job. I can buy five more of these pointers for the cost of one of the expensive pointers - so that's a big plus.Read full review

Basic small metal detector
I'm using this detector to find nails and other metal objects Inwood before running it through saws and planers. No problem finding a nail on the other side of a 4 x 4. It seems a little bit flimsy but if you don't drop it too much it will probably be just fine. Great for the price.Read full review

Not as easy as you migh think
Bought a very nice metal detector recently, tried it in my yard...lots of hits but never came up with much. Saw this pin point detector, thought I'd try it out...haven't used it outside yet but it appears to be pretty good at finding all the nails in my floor, walls etc....true value compared with it's virtual twin but Garrett...( only less than half the price!)
So far so goodRead full review

Light and easy to use.
This tool came in handy while metal detecting and saved me a lot of searching if I didn't have it. It's easy to use and fits into a small pouch (not included) or pocket of a vest or bag. Learning how to use it is very simple and clean up of the wand after use isn't hard at all, just carry a rag to wipe it with, or use your glove or pants. The interesting part about this piece of equipment is it vibrates when its close to its target. Startling at first but really came in handy if the wind is blowing or you have headsets on. This is one piece of equipment I wouldn't be without in the field. Handy around home as well when looking for dropped metal objects in a carpet or grass.Read full review

Couldn't get it to function. Upgraded to Garrett ProPointer.
Bounty Hunter Pin Pointer was a complete waste of a buy. Followed instructions to the letter, but still could only detect large objects and ONLY when the pointer was touching them. Absolutely worthless when trying to "pinpoint" objects in dirt or bark. Did what I should have to start with... bought a Garrett ProPointerAT, and couldn't be happier.Read full review

Very good for the price
This pinpointer does what is was designed to do "pinpoint" after an item has been located. Sure, it does have to be within about a half inch of the target but for the price it works very well. After all, it's not a carrot!Read full review
