Does the pinpointer work, and how good does it operate

It works fine. I rarely use it, as sweeping the main rig allows me to find what I'm looking for.

No idea about its accuracy. I think the book says within an inch. My most valuable tool in actually a strong magnet! Iron gets dirt colored and the magnet makes it easy.

Both work great. Both have paid for there selfs a few times. But FYI some places have metal water pipes in the ground. The pin pointer will miss lead you as the bounty hunter may read it as scrap

It was bought for my son-in-law - he uses it all the time. He says it works great!

You literally have to put the tip of the pin pointer on the object for it to go off. I suggest buying the Garrett pro pinpointer.

My Bounty Hunter pin pointer can detect metals from 3/4" to 1" away from it's tip. But that is only after carefully fine tuning the sensitivity at the on-off knob. If you happen to touch the knob after adjustment, you stand the chance of knocking it out of adjustment and will have to start all over again. Bottom line is it's less expensive than the others on the market and it suits my needs, but it requires the user to perform sensitivity adjustment before use.

Yes and it works. Very good product and I've used it for about a year. Compact, easy to use and relatively accurate. The qualification is that "who knows" it it's counting every step but for the intended purpose it certainly gives a good subjective reading.

It should find anything that it is connected to.I tested it out around the house on its own and it worked finding things in different rooms on different floors and outside.The design has changed now as from memory it only had one button before which made it hard to program and worked OK on one fob but I could not get it to work on two. In the end neither fob would work as I assume I had confused it.Would I try it again? I am not sure; but its worth a try if the supplier has a good returns policy.

I cannot give you a positive answer but I know I turned around once or twice to re-calibrate it for one thing. I hope you have better luck with it than I did. I junked mine it.

Yes it works well with Front Point. It was easy to connect and is easy to use.

It will work, but you can buy a stand alone GPS for under $200 that would be more suitable. You will need BeeLineGPS to get this to work. There are other programs, but I have tested it with BLGPS and it works. However, when I cache, I take either my explorist or my meridian gold.

As David and Chris said, you have to be close, if the big detector signals item is shallow I will poke around with this to try and locate, but other wise I dig a hole and use the pinpointer to help locate.

Yes it does, but it is very touchy. It works really well, you just have to be precise.

Hellomy gps works pretty good i have no complaints is helps you find the destination your looking for step by step it also speaks the turns and miles even street names as well its pretty good as far as i experienced

If you use your thermometer to set the temp, I think it will work. The temperature is on a dial so I would assume that you could pin point a specific temp.

It should work on anything. I use it in my android phone, it's pinpoint accurate

Yes but the pin-pointer is not good, I got a Garrett instead which are really great.

Yes and it is very good This is the widest range checker I have ever seen.(I am a retired field eng/instructor for Philips cable equipment so I should know. Well worth the money. I work on a farm and got it to check motor start and run cap's

There is a lazer light that you aim and what you point the light to is what it measures. For example, we bought it to measure the temp of our pond water. Yes it works. I pointed at the pond water and then to the water in our hot tub and it measured the water each time. I hope this helps.

I agree with the comment below on ease of operation and programming. Just got back from a fishing trip in Canada and it worked flawlessly. Really like the setting which show gas stations, restaurants, etc. near the road you are traveling. Hope this helps.

It works great. Every ten minutes, it sends a signal of your latitude and longitud to the site. Any of your friends can see where you are in real time by going to the site. It has nothing to do with your SIM card. It is all done from the spot connect directly to the satellite. If you want to send a specific message, you just type it on your smartphone and it sends via Bluetooth to the spot connect and then to the satellite. It is VERY accurate. I have had mine for two years and it gives my wife and family peace of mind to be able to see exactly where I am at any moment

You can use it with any metal detector, you use it once you locate your object with your garrett. The pinpointer just helps locate the object once you have your hole
