Pinpointers

If you are an adventurous treasure hunter or a keen history researcher, your inseparable friend on your journey through meadows and forests should be one of our handheld metal detectors (so-called pinpointers). It is also essential equipment for all services maintaining public order or protecting closed facilities or mass events. Pinpointers are the perfect complement to walk-through metal detectors. They are commonly used at airports, stadiums and other public places where we must maintain special safety. However, they can also be used as an excellent tool for detecting metal elements in renovation and construction works. They allow you to locate electrical wires and cables in the walls of buildings or running underground. They are also useful in everyday life for finding small items we have lost, such as a ring, a coin or other metal trinket.

A handheld metal detector, also known as a magnetic anomaly detector, works great as an additional equipment to a traditional detector when searching in the field. Thanks to it, we are able to precisely determine the location of the element we are looking for, down to the centimetre, without having to search or dig through a larger area. This is of great importance when locating small finds such as coins, silver or gold jewellery or other artefacts. Having a carrot, as hand-held detectors are commonly called, not only saves a lot of time during the search, but also ensures safety. By locating the object we are looking for down to the centimetre, we are sure that we will not damage the find during digging. In this section, you will find hand-held metal detectors from many renowned companies, such as: Nokta, Quest, Garrett with the Pro-Pointer series and many others. They are all small in size so as not to interfere with our work. They are lightweight, so they will not burden our equipment and, most importantly, they are very easy to use. In most cases, operation involves using just one button. Most detectors have a similar shape, weight and material from which they are made. They are powered by 9V batteries or built-in rechargeable batteries. When deciding to buy such a device, we must answer the question for what purpose we will use it. For home, private use, the simplest models will work well.

However, for professional use, you should pay attention to several important aspects. The first is the operating frequency. This should be noted because detectors operating at low frequencies are characterized by lower sensitivity to small objects. Some pinpointers allow the user to adjust the sensitivity in order to adapt them to the environment and situation. The next important aspect is the resistance standard of a given model. This is especially important if we want to use the detector underwater or in an area with high humidity. The detectors available on our website allow you to submerge up to 60 meters. Another important issue is the signaling of metal detection. The most common method is an audible signal or vibration. The vibration function will be useful in loud places, e.g. at concerts, where there is a risk that the audible signal will not be heard. It is also worth paying attention to the color of the device. A bright, neon color will allow us to easily locate the equipment in the field, underwater or in poor lighting conditions. When going on a search, for work or everyday, it is worth getting a handheld metal detector pin pointer. This is a very useful tool that will certainly speed up and improve our work.
