Nokta Pointer Tried & Tested 

Hey Dan, that's the pinpointer I use when I'm not using the probe on my E-Trac. I love the Nokta pinpointer! :) And I can vouch for the battery life. I've been using the same 9-Volt since I got mine last year.

yes our weather here is just getting good for out door activities, here in the north east usa. i purchesed you tube red just because dans channel is great.

I had the choice to be sent any model of pin pointer just as a little bonus . I asked for the Garrett Carrot . Then I decided to ask the suppliers which one they thought best . They recommended the Nokta . After seeing this review I'm glad I chose it . Might be here tomorrow if I'm lucky . Cheers Dan .

It is a beautiful day! Thanks for sharing, Dan. Best, Anna

Great review. I use the pulsedive myself but may get one of these as a backup. 👍

Dan I own 2 Makro brand pin pointers and they are identical to this pin pointer. the carrying case the covers the buttons and light. I would think that Makro manufacturers this brand. I owned them for 2-3 years. they work great and i would recommend them over any other brand

Grate review Dan. If we do not see you useing this pointer in your next beach vid . we will keep an eye out for it on our shores over here in the states. LOL.

Dan Nokta is waterproof up to 2m ;) I like this pointer too, greetings from Poland!

For your trip on the coast, I would suggest dehydrating food so it is smaller and easier to carry, I would also suggest that you set up a food menu for your trip. Good luck!

Thats a fantastic pointer.and a bit cheaper love that.might could when you get used to it you could turn on off when in sheath allowing to be one hand operation.i dig the covers too.nice job dan.

nice pinpointer, rivals the garrett. Had one for 16 months and found a bunch of tiny objects due to the settings. Only one I trust and waterproof in the waves.

Just got my kit of Simplex+ v02.78 with pointer and wifi headset ,and gift shovel. 479€ . Tomorrow will go and collect it.

Nice review Dan! The pointer is actually waterproof to 1metre. The button on the end is actually easier to use if you take the pointer out and put the tip of the pointer in the ground where you're searching (upright) and then you can switch it on with one hand, it also ground balances that way. I've had mine for 4 months and its a great machine. @fsls13 most of the Makro pointers have only 4 sensitivity settings whereas the Nokta has 10, there are a couple of other small differences too.

For a unboxing, you know that pp. well. Thank you for the review, excellent as usual.

It's a good probe...... Been using one for months now and its not skipped a beat 👍

thanks for the reviews..going to look into that when I buy a pinpointer..excellent! :)

they missed the little things ,like.......... the attachment for the lanyard. Bird dog showed this to us and it is very important. But...... you did a nice job on showing us the tool. It would have been nice to see how it worked in the ocean. The ATP is always going off. The LAND AND SEA tool works well in ocean but.......... sometimes you must change the frequency of the detector or move the detector coil away from the pin pointer or you will get a lot of chattering on the head phones. HH GL & God bless

Dan, you'll quite fast change the way you think of turning it on. You just press the on button on the back before you pull it out. And that's the pinpointer I'm taking about :)

its great that there is some good products at a more affordable price, i haven't used a nokta yet but im very happy with the deteknix x pointer : )

Hi Dan nice review and had mine just before it launched and it's still going strong, it has been dropped, thrown, lost and drowned but it still comes back for more lol, certainly a good bit of kit and love the 10 levels of sensitivity especially when looking for deeper finds to save you digging the wrong direction :-) ATB GL & HH

It's good to see some real competition with the pinpointers, with luck it'll drive prices down a bit with the better known ones.

It doesn't have a place to tie a string too. I say this for the river or lake hunters because it they don't have it tied to something they may lose it. Just a thought.

Thank U Dr Dan . We luv ya

Great review, Dan....thank you!

The Nokta pointer has a rating of IP67. (I found this info on the web) That's a shame for a waterproof pointer. Anyway, the first number refers to the protection against solid objects, and the second number against liquids. The higher the number, the better the protection. First Number (solid objects) 0 - No protection (Sometimes X) 1 - Protected against solid objects up to 50mm 2 - Protected against solid objects up to 12mm 3 - Protected against solid objects up to 2.5mm 4 - Protected against solid objects up to 1mm 5 - Protected against dust, limited ingress (no harmful deposit) 6 - Totally protected against dust Second Number (liquids) 0 - No protection (Sometimes X) 1 - Protection against vertically falling drops of water (e.g. condensation) 2 - Protection against direct sprays of water up to 15 degrees from vertical 3 - Protection against direct sprays of water up to 60 degrees from vertical 4 - Protection against water sprayed from all directions - limited ingress permitted 5 - Protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions 6 - Protected against low pressure jets of water, limited ingress permitted 7 - Protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m (around 3ft) 8 - Protected against long periods of immersion under pressure up to 3m (10ft) This rating chart is for 30 minutes. After that no guarantees. As a comparison: Garrett Pro Pointer = IP66 Garrett Pro Pointer II = IP66 Makro Pointer (Nokta twin sister) = IP67 Garrett Pro-Pointer AT = IP 68 White's TRX Bullseye = IP68 Golddigger Land or Sea = IP68* Deteknix XPointer Wader = IP68* The last two pointers with the "*" only list the water rating in their brochures (3m/10ft), but it doesn't mention their dust protection level, but it should be safe(?) to say that their dust protection rating would be like the other pointers (6). One thing to note, the Golddigger Land or Sea pointer is the only one in the list that is supposedly waterproof to 6m/20ft.

Brilliant review Dan Cheers

Nice video Dan

The Nokta Pinpointer is classified rating IP67, where the 6 - Totally protected against dust and the number, 7 - Protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m. So don't go diving with it. It's the same with the Makro pointer that I have. So to say they are waterproof is perhaps right, but don't drop them too deep ;) -- edited for misspell --

Nice vid Dan thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍

At first I was thinking that the control buttons at the bottom would be an inconvenience which still seems so but thinking about it it makes good sense to keep dirt and sand out just like for the speaker.Right?Good review.Thank you

I just bought one of these... i know its worth it, but i hope the beach is also worth it

Appreciate this is an old posting but just a heads up for anyone currently shopping around.... I have just got into detecting (for small gold here in Australia) and after much research, purchased an Gold Monster 1000. In my newby ignorance, I didn't research pinpointers, and trusting in the Minelab name, purchased a Pro-find 15. Big, expensive mistake. Way too insensitive for relic hunting, but even worse in my case, totally blind to small gold. Chucked it in my bad judgement bin and after much research, have ordered the Nokta pinpointer. Very few negative reports and it's apparently great on small non-ferrous targets. Hopefully it will perform as expected.

Such a massive fan I love your vids man I've been a fan for ages thanks for entertaining me all the time! 😉

hey thanks for reviewing this

Good review Dan , nice pointer

I received this Nokta as a prize on a RU-vid contest about 6 months ago. It started out fine and I was really liking the orange accent colors compared to my previous Macro pointer. A month ago it stated behaving erratically. A lot of times the power button will not power it on and I am required to shake the pointer, tap it on the ground, or sometimes take the battery cover completely off and reseat the battery to make it work. Even then after it powers on it sometimes powers right back off again. Some times it will even power up but only have vibration and no sound. Really really frustrating. I contacted Nokta and they asked for a video of the problems. After uploading the video they said the control unit might need replacing and advised me to contact Kellyco repair center.

Good review, Dan ! Very informative, and it helps a great deal to hear about the small details like the position of the on\off switch and the speaker. Does this pinpointer have a lanyard loop ? ( so glad to see that you must have had a bright and sunny )

Nice review Dan thanks for sharing.

Only problem i can see is that the holes which holds the protector in place will probably get stuffed with mud and stones etc (if you do it without the protector). This will either break the pins of the protector when forcing it in place or make it messy to put on again.

A water test is like when you ate that super hot chilli LOL

Deep digger Dan what is your favourite Metal Detector of this year so Far because I personally like the Deteknix metal detector/pointer

Good review Dan, but I still can't see past the Deteknix Xpointer or wader for price & durability, do we really need 10 settings on a pointer.

Always use silicone grease on the o-ring

another great vid. dan...keep em coming

Great review Dan

thank you dan ☺

Dan have some more Banana's helps with Potassium, my legs ache when I bend down too. The average Chiquita banana contains about 422 mg of potassium.

Dan can you do a video on how best to metal detect a stony beach, I live on the coast and only have stony beaches around me, so please help.

Nice one Dan.👌

Good video, thanks! I have one Nokta pointer, is really hard, fully waterproof and I have 3 comments: - I dont have idea how to make a ground balance (to use in salty water). If you know, please teach me. - The buttons at the bottom are perfect. I turn on before take from my belt, like a cowboy before shooting :-D - The internal electrical contacts of the inner lid are the worst part. In mine all the plastic divisors between theme were broke and now I need to cover very carefully each time I need to open and close to replace the battery. The problem is because when have sand or dust at the bottom and you try to adjust, all the part try to rotate and finally brokes the set. Anyway, I prefer it instead of Garrett Propointer (my wife have one and sometimes we swap them. Thanks again, liked and suscribed to your channel. Greetings from an argentinian in Brazil !

great video Dan love your videos

Another good video dan well done

Nice vid

Where do you get your metal detector from? + amazing videos and could you mention me in one please.

When would u use this? is there like an extension pole so u dont have to crawl around with this or do u use it after you have found something with the big detector? many thanks

just brought one of these great review of what i think is a great pointer. hh keep up the good work dan 👍

Hi dan can you let me know what software was used on the Scotland trip Interested in the split screen mode thanks Pointer is great need to get one of them

great review I just order a couple I guess I will have to try one out.

It was beeping when you threw it in the water, was there something metal there or does it just beep when underwater?

Good times.

For these who dont know the makro pointer is the same, although i like the black makro version more than this because it looks better in my opinion

My Nokta constantly beeps on the 9 and 10 setting. When you bump it down to stop constantly beeping, if you turn the pointer tip up, it starts beeping again. By the time you get it stabile, you nearly have to be touching the target to make it signal. IDK, I must have gotten a bad one. Also, some of my friends have gotten the same bad ones. Nice review tho. Do another one in a few weeks of use with it.

Great review

how much in American Dan? I can look it up but I like to keep you on your toes so to speak. LOL! Great video as always!

I love you Dan

good video. know how nokta is with their warranty's? I'm in a toss up now with nokta or deteknix and going to order a teknetics T2 detector

nice one

I am advised by my English friend that Digger Dans accent is from Yorkshire? is this correct because i am an Aussie and cant always tell what part of the uk someone is from.

Just bought one

Great review man!

Triple D! Nice Review! :)

you're the Best ☺

What's the price range of this pinpointer

Looks like my Makro Pointer. And i think it comes from the Same Factory. Everything ist the same . :)

The need for to hands to turn on, and small buttons would make it difficult to use with gloves on. I would need three hands. lol

LOUD...I put a piece of cloth tape over the piezo speaker and carefully punch a hole through with a toothpick. The smaller the hole, the less volume...Attracts less curiosity seekers that way.

hi dan bud like ya vids, inspired, i hav a garret euro ace could ya tell me if its ok for the beach please thanks

Depth of detection underground pls

Does anyone have any ideas about being able to put a lanyard on it?

How to avail? How much?

hi dan is this same as the makro pinpointer ?

what is the Best pinpoint new to it all ☺

Dan I know a place to go when metal decteing I heard that in the isle of man there are stuff from the past good stuff

Might get one !?

Nice price

Looks good , What's the price in US dollars?? Great vids Dan keep up the good work,, Cheers! :)

how much did it cost because i need one.

i have the nokta pinpointer

pukka review again dan,get in!!!!

☺

I have been pondering on this water proof feature. Now if it is waterproof 2 metres down, Why wouldn't it be waterproof 3 metres down ? I honestly don't get it.

Where do I get it

just 6 cm of range

1 meters deep

Garret AT pointer would be my option

😂

this vid is not for people with a dirty mind xD

☺
