All About Pinpointers! Tips, Tricks and more

This is a special episode, all about pinpointers. Some tips and tricks and an in depth look at the pinpointer I use. Hope you enjoy it! If you’re new to the channel, check out some of my other videos. I do 2 or 3 adventures a week (since I’m retired) and post at least one video a week. Sometimes I post a bonus video when they start to pile up!

I want to hear the iron but not have it drown out everything else. Sensitivity turned to 25-27 depending on interference Recovery speed 5 - turn that a little lower if the ground is ‘clean’ turn it up a little if there are a lot of junk targets Iron filter 8 - if there’s a lot of small iron in the ground I might turn it down to 5 or 6 I grid the yard left to right in 4 kHz, then turn and grid the other way in Multi1 Dig it all! I previously used the Garrett Ace 300 and the Garrett “carrot” pinpointer. Suitable for beginners but the NoktaMakro equipment has performed much better. Thinking of getting into the hobby? I really recommend contacting a metal detecting dealer, either a store in your area or an online detecting specialist. They can definitely match your budget with the right equipment for you. I don’t recommend buying equipment online from other sales sites (Amazon, Etsy, EBay, etc) since you can’t be sure of what you’re getting. Trust in a reputable dealer. I use Kellycodetectors.com… but again, not sponsored by them or anyone else.
