Testing out the Cheep Pinpointers. Are they any Good? How do they compare with expensive ones? 

I appreciate that you didn’t immediately try and shun the two cheap ones right out of the gate. Any of the other reviews I’ve seen on these have just been talking about how great their $150 pinpoint is compared to these. Yeah, it should be. I like how you used the Minelab as the standard just to get a real comparison. Most unbiased review I’ve seen. Fair, to the point, and showing them in a real head to head. Good job!!

I got the GP and to tell the truth it's done more than I expected for 20 bucks 😎👍

I bought the GP Pointer starting out. It's great and does the job just fine considering the target is usually already out of the hole. Unless you're detecting under water you probably don't need anything better. Even the pros could justify having one of these as a backup, which I think was the same conclusion you came to. In my tests it would give a detection on a target down to 0.05 grams, which I think should be the real benchmark that pointers are tested against. The GP pointer (and most pointers if comes to it) auto balance for interference when you turn them on. Make sure you hold them away from metal until they turn on fully. The GP pointer was kind of helping you in that regard because you were holding it up to see the light come on. The other Chinese one, you always held it down to the ground so you could see the screen. It's possible that it had better sensitivity than you were allowing it.

Great test glad you took the chance never would have thought something that cheap would perform better than just okay

I got a gp pointer yesterday mine detects metals and gold up to 5 inches away.. must have improved alot since this video. I wasn't expecting much from it after watching a few RU-vid vids but its blown me away with how good it is

I have the GP for 4 years now and it's doing a great job! Absolutely worth it and amazingly low priced. Ordered a 2nd one for my son for only $ 16.

great test work fam. loads of great info. keep at it. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

I bought that cheap orange one 2 years ago and I still have it so that tells u something 👍found many coins and rings necklesses actually paid for it's self in two hours lol

Appreciate an honest , real world review . I’m just starting out , and I’ve been wondering if these were any good ( the GP Pointer ), and now I know , so I will be ordering one . Thanks !

They work and if your on a budget or new to the hobby it will definitely get you to your target. It’s 15-20 dollars so your not out much. Later on you can always save up and get a better quality one. Handed mine down to my cousin with a bounty hunter and it’s still going strong.

Nice vid.. good to see…had the gp but had to return.. being a newbie wasn’t spending loot for carrot.. bought a Shrxy for 28 or so.. sure it’s a whites knock off I believe…but two for five years and both still work.. not bad.. dig on people..

Thanks for the product review - Got the GP pointer

You should use the other units first, for a better comparison and switch them for the next test. Glad you are doing this, helps me decide.

Bought one on Amazon before seeing your review, works good. $16.99 delivered to my door the next day.

I don’t know, Jack. I think you get what you pay for.. I’ll stay with my Garrett Carrot .....thanks....

best video ever comparing a $200 to a $20 they do the same thing on the surface to find an object----------------- but loose a $200 one or a $20 one mmmmmm

Gold gold gold gold gold fever I can’t get that song out of my head if you hold a piece of metal on the shaft of the go pointer it will pick up deeper targets

Inc the garret and most cheap pinpointers wire length interferes with pulsed detectors like minelabs etc minelab pointer is designed to not interfere with the coils weather on or off some resonate with the coil windings probably the same resonant wavelength. if you run a vlf detector any should be ok.

Funny that first target the minelab and gp lied saying there were 2 targets which the cheapo red one was right with1 target!😂

Thx for the comparison Jack!

I've used several over the years they work well can hit about 2 inches in soil. I have a pro pointer 2 i use now its better gets another inch and discriminates. Still use the g.p. as well.

Great video ,good info,thank you much.

I see you like to test cheap vs expensive metal detecting.try your $900 metal detector vs an cheap temu metal detector

Buy the best metal detector you can afford (they have pin pointers on them) then as funds allow get a pin pointer, the cheap orange ones work very well if kept dry and not used violently it will last, they have a blade for final digging/ material movement, don't use your hand!

You reburied enough change to pay for the Chinese pinpointers.

I really appreciate your testing this. I hope I can find the GP pointer here in 2022. I picked up a used Detector for $30 so I hate to pay $100 for a pointer. I’m willing to pay up to $50 for one that will work and last me awhile. Thanks again. Dave in PA.

Amazing work,,, well done

Thanks. I bought one on Amazon recently called WAZWOY that looks identical to the GP model including the packaging. It also came with 2 batteries. Good to know that for $20 I got a fairly decent deal.

Submerge test might be the deal breaker.

Love your energy

Super thanks that.s about all I want to pay like up 40 bucks call it good thanks again

Thank you

First by own self with Buried some gold underground and you become for confirmation easily

The first time you were able and I didn’t have a chance I just wanted you know I love and I love and I hope you’re having fun and I’m so proud to have a great time and I’m happier now I hope you’re happy now and I’m happy that you’re doing well I hope you’re enjoying yourself I hope you’re not having a problem

I got the MD 770 That's even a hell of a lot better than the GP

Should open a bank out there! Great comparison!

I have the GP point on 2/10 of a gram I can’t hear anything on the Garrett it will detect a that amount gold

About $250 aud in Australia

Do you think a pin pointer could be used inside a house? I lost a gold necklace while moving into my old room back home from college. The room is a mess. It could be in any basket or blanket or box. Who knows? I know nails and coils usually make metal detectors useless inside, but would the fact gold is non-ferrous help with the right pin pointer?

That’s the one I just got good to know

Which one is best , video super

So waht is better the pin pointer or the regular metal detector ?

But you need to consider also that the Minelab pinpointer is waterproof unlike the rest.

I use a cheap pinpointer to find pipes, wires and studs in drywall. It is the truth.

Why? Why would you re bury the coins? That is just silly!

My gp pointer works great👍⛏️😎

Even if they work, how long will they last before breaking?

Just ordered a GP from eBay £12 ...I need it to find AG3 batteries on my carpet 😏...My carpet is very fluffy and I can't find the AG3 batteries...

I was going to purchase one of these tonight to hopefully find some gold here in Puerto Rico as ive seen some videos here about prospecting in the island. what pointer would you recommend that won't break the bank for starting out.? also anything that can be used on water would be great for like puddles and stuff.

Good tests that highlight the Chinese Asian offerings thank you. A cheap probe's like a cheap car, great value for money & will do a job however if you are after a 'good' probe look towards the mainstream manufacturers. They will offer far better construction, the way the intensity increases in a linear fashion as you get nearer the target rather than jumping, depth is only one aspect of what makes one probe better than another and some are just trying too hard to tick boxes, keep it simple. Garrett were first out of the starting gate many years ago, & whilst not perfect (hindsight is wonderful) they did a damn good job. Others then jumped on the bandwagon so Garrett improved what we regarded as the pinnacle of probes they brought out the 'Carrot'

How would one of these be for finding metal under insulation? Someone lost something in unfinished attic

Personally I will stick with the Garrett Carrot. A great pin pointer.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Gp pretty good😂

Just got GP its best in Show

This is a good review. What would you recommend using for detecting underground Gold nuggets mostly covered in ore.

In the end, I'm sure the technology is the same. I don't need a Rolls-Royce to get to the super market. A Dodge Dart will do just fine.

will this pick up gold too? or just metal coins and stuff

Will this metal pointers detect underground crowbar to find property line?

I wonder if the GB makes a full sized metal detector

Looks like the GB beat them all 😁

Is there a pinpointed that you recommend between the el cheapos and the Minelab 35? Thanks for the great prospecting videos!

Starts at 6:46.

Ima go snorkelin whats a good cheap waterproof?

I’m so confused why would you re-bury those coins?

how much this product

Please get rid of the ads, very annoying

𝙏𝙝𝙣𝙭 !

Fake garrett did ok for 20 bucks.. Get a new one every year..your still ahead.😂

These Chinese companies our going though our Patton offices and getting all the exact information to build these and their suppose to be protected.

Guy really needs a haircut. Video is too long

I have the minelav pro-find 35, I wanted to ask you how you handle changing 9v batteries. I know that there are 9 V rechargeable batteries but most are a scam, they don't usually reach 9 V and they don't have the mAh that the manufacturer says. Do you know of any that do comply and are worth buying?
