Garrett Pro Pinpointer Tricks

[@janjohannessmith7033]

very valuable information thank you Steve. My Garrett pinpointer has always worked well and I rebalance it when I use it in salt water conditions by the beach and then up to the picnic grounds. but I never knew that by holding the button down for one second would rebalance it right away to the beach or highly mineralized areas. thank you again

[@mikedavis2566]

I didn't know how to use it until watching this. had it for over a year. Thanks again. You Rock Gigmaster.

[@rbrown2895]

The rebalance tip is great!! I went to Amazon from your site the other day and bought one. 👍👍

[@metalsharxs]

Thanks for sharing these tips. I was having trouble with mineralized soil at a former dairy farm. The pinpointer would seem to go off everywhere and it was frustrating. Will try re-balancing or changing sensitivity levels.

[@elizabethtorres6069]

Is that Sensitivity just for the Garrett metal detector Pro AT? I am in the process of ordering the XP metal detector MI-4?

[@leokoerzen6877]

great video. I have learned a lot and will review this from time to time. thanks. I just bouth a xp deus II and expect to get it tomorrow.. this should complement it very well.

[@Vanndam41]

Thank you for the very informative video. This will really help me, as I can see mistakes I’ve already made while using it.

[@Gigmaster]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rodcoulter997]

Great demo on the “sensitivity settings”….excellent…I have one…wonderful review.

[@jefffawver3389]

I really dig your video Gigmaster! Thank you for sharing this information helped a lot.

[@detectingrose2221]

thanks Gig Im learning a lot from you another thing I learn is that the energizer battery's are a tiny bit shorter then the copper top battery's,, if you add a tiny but of padding in the top cap it makes it tighter and I have found the energizer lats longer than the Duracell copper top battery's

[@kevinhoney1385]

great vid bro. I just got one and trying to learn to use it.

[@gerriwoolard9426]

Came across this video trying to find a solution to a big problem I was having. Whenever I was trying to find a target with my PP it would signal from all sides in the hole so I didnt really know where my target was. Very frustrating! Hopefully trying these different settings will help.

[@Gigmaster]

It will!

[@benfranks6375]

This was a great help to me ! Thank you very much! Very kind of you!

[@Car1Sagan]

In the later part of the video, it would be interesting to see if it was size or density would affect it. Maybe use a $20 gold, a silver half, and a clad half to see if there's a difference. The mineralized soil reset is very useful. Do other pinpointers have that feature?

[@layrathompson2869]

Thank you! I have one of these tools and just trying to perfect my methods! Appreciate the video

[@georgemcdaniel8625]

Watched again to refresh my memory

[@phillipbarnhouse496]

Your instructions really helped me tremendous , thanks very much !!!

[@kevimc]

I am in the market for a new pinpointer; I cannot find my letsch and pinpointer since my move ; excellent video Steve; very precise fine tuned instrument ; thanks for the demonstration; winter here ground frozen; later in the new year I will have to purchase one; all the best

[@thestaffordshiredigger916]

This is brilliant! Who knew it had so many tricks!

[@spparrky]

This was such a helpful video and Steve, your enthusiasm makes you a marvelously relatable and charming teacher! I especially appreciated your demonstration of the importance of scanning around the side of the hole instead of only "poking" down into it. Also, that last distance test,with the various settings and target sizes was set up perfectly to simplify the concept you were trying to convey. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge with the rest of us! Merry Christmas!

[@memoryrinehart]

Exactly how mine performed til I against my better judgment put it underwater as is. It leaked and caused it to malfunction (wouldn't stop beeping). I dried out but it has lost its sensitivity for good. Also keeps beeping after moving away from a target. It's under warranty. Was it necessary to put silicon around threads before dunking? I submerged it briefly a couple times early on without trouble. The running stream was too much for it.

[@wbrian]

Nice tutorial. Thanks. I'm still using my older model that I plasti-dipped...

[@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD]

I know this is and old video, but thanks a lot for the primer course! Subscribed!

[@Gigmaster]

Thanks for the sub!

[@katiedeepbeep7130]

I need help remembering this when I'm on the beach. You make it look so easy. This is great info ~ thank you so much!

[@clarasepsi1896]

Does it work in salt Walter?

[@Gigmaster]

Yes

[@tenncutt]

Great video Steve! What setting do you normally use?

[@Gigmaster]

Max sensitivity then go down to pinpoint

[@tenncutt]

@@Gigmaster gotcha, thanks man. Good videos. Just found you. Subbed

[@Gigmaster]

Thanks for coming along on my adventures!

[@dr.ofdubiouswisdom4189]

I just ordered one - I hope mine works as well as yours! Thanks!

[@lancelottavola9685]

excelent tutorial instructions and searching mode demonstration.

[@DAiken-jz1iu]

Another great video with knowledge on Pin Pointer!

[@danyardinvt402]

Hi, this is a great channel. I just got my equinox 800 but we have three feet of snow on the ground so I am watching videos instead of detecting. I use the rebalance to narrow in on small targets. As I move the pinpointer near the target as soon as it starts to beep I stop and push the button. Now, it won’t beep again at that distance. Move the pinpointer some more and you will see that the beep zone is smaller. Stop at the edge of the beeping and press the button again. It will again narrow down the detection zone. If you do this several times, the pinpointer will not beep until it is basically touching the target.

[@Gigmaster]

Danin Vermont Good job! I do that all the time. Makes you more efficient at recovery.

[@danyardinvt402]

Gigmaster, thanks for the quick reply. I’m headed down to the Florida Keys this spring and can’t wait to try out the 800 on the beaches. I really appreciate the time you have spent explaining the 800 and how you set it up for different conditions. I’ll let you know if I dig up anything good. Thanks again, Dan

[@Gigmaster]

@@danyardinvt402 I used that pinpointer a long time not knowing how to use it. Sounds like you mastered it fast! Let us know what you find. Good luck out there.

[@jimgoings9106]

What sensitivity do you usually run at? I know they recommend medium because I can be too sensitive in some scenarios so I was just wondering what you usually use yours at

[@Gigmaster]

Max

[@jasontheflyingfarrierhays]

Depending on environment. At the beach, max. In areas with less trash in the ground, when I’m coin shooting, level 2 sensitivity. When I’m detecting in super trashy ground, lowest level sensitivity. I’m sure Gig Master has tons more experience than me and can read a hole well enough to keep his pin pointer on max sensitivity. Hope that helps!

[@harlanmorrisson5147]

Very good info for the Carrot owners, the Carrot has some great features !

[@jmc4181]

Hey Steve, good stuff. I’’m still learning. Bought an AT Pro with the Garrett pin pointer. Little confused on how to use it well at the beach in wet sand or in the water. I’ve tried to repeatedly ground balance it in wet sand but not having much luck. Digging holes for nothing. I live by the beach in S Florida. Yesterday I found a large coin in dry sand, completely corroded but I see silver underneath now after numerous cleaning attempts. I have it soaking in lemon juice now. Tried all the other methods, i.e., ginger and salt, baking soda, etc. its about the size of a silver dollar but thinner. It looks like an old silver piece from another country but wont know until I get the corrosion off. Any tips? Its the only valuable I have found, other stuff just loose change. Anyway, good stuff. Thx.

[@alabamadirtdigger8216]

Mine is on thhe way from kelly Co...cant wait...thanks for video..

[@freddypichardo7478]

SUPER AWESOME! Thank you for the info! Be safe!

[@Elukka1971]

[@shadoegirl]

Great tips! Very helpful, thank you!

[@yellowdogadventures]

Excellent video Steve, thank you. I learned lot.

[@samuelmorado4707]

I have the original Black one and the Garrett Carrot. I swnt the original one in to get fixed. Got it fixed amd a New casing for less than 50. Love Garrett repair and customer service.

[@Gigmaster]

samuel morado They have the best customer service!

[@TheWayha]

Really good job on explaining that. Thanks for the info.

[@NorfolkTraveller]

Great video. Thank you - just bought one

[@user-fz7ms9ds6y]

Thank you, this is so helpful!

[@11111972cjb]

I have the Garrett AT pinpointer but have others also because when I'm on a really nice lawn I make a very small hole about 2" across, the Garrett is not the best in that situation because it sounds off on the sides as you have said and shown in this vid, I use a marine pinpointer in that situation because it only sounds off on the very end so I know exactly where the target is. Cheers.

[@gravediggermaxvabeachva]

just what i needed to know mr steve.......see you in a few hours

[@boblewis9427]

How do you spell “feel” correct you video where you said “fell” in print.

[@mr.beepers1823]

After watching your video, and I have to say, they are always informative. I am wondering, though, whether you stated correctly how many modes the Carrot has. I've noticed 6 modes. 1,2,3 beeping modes, and 1,2, 3 silent modes, or vibrate modes. I really did learn a couple more things about the Carrot in this video and thanks for that. I didn't know about the reset mode. It will help me in future hunts!!

[@Gigmaster]

Thanks for watching! There are only 3 sensitivity settings but they each have 2 selections either vibrate or vibrate and sound. So I guess 3 sensitivity settings with 6 modes? I think we are both saying the same thing 2 different ways. I'll keep learning!

[@lounor1]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing

[@forreststinnett4123]

I love my Garrett Pin pointer good info thanks for sharing.

[@advenzures]

Thank you very much! Awesome info! Great video and happy hunting!

[@williampopov7525]

Ok, I need a little help here. I've got the Nox 800. I was told by a beach Hunter that all I had to do to ground bal it , was to turn it to auto and hold it to the ground without moving it up & down , is that right ?? William NJ

[@Gigmaster]

William Popov On auto mode you are good!

[@williampopov7525]

Gigmaster Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, But are you saying that I don't have to move the coil up and down ?? When in auto? Just turn to on and hunt ? Sorry I know your a very busy guy , I asked you because I know your the man to ask !😀 William NJ

[@Gigmaster]

William Popov As far as I know that is correct in auto you dont have to go up and down. If i am wrong someone will chime in!

[@katiedeepbeep7130]

Thank you Gigmaster!

[@Gigmaster]

Katie Deep Beep Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!

[@katiedeepbeep7130]

Thank YOU for being so informative! I just reset our Garrett carrots. I like it on the second beep sensitivity mode, but had a hard time getting them to cooperate. Less options are better in my world - on & off would be great. But I can appreciate the quiet mode sometimes! Now we are ready to hit the beaches this weekend! Oh, and I did not know about the re-set function. Sometimes it goes crazy in salt water. But not anymore......! Spell check “feel” the buzz.

[@Gigmaster]

Find me something cool!!

[@ryders_mom]

If you order a Garrett on Amazon or E-bay, etc. READ THE FINE PRINT and look to see where it's shipped from. There is a company in China (Hong Kong) that is producing a pinpointer that looks exactly like the Garrett carrot and retailing it for about a quarter of the price. Read the "fine print" and know you're getting an actual Garrett, otherwise you'll end up with a generic version that has fewer features and, specifically, has almost no sensitivity - maybe only an inch at best.

[@williampopov7525]

Thanks Gig Money 😀

[@KubotaManDan]

Much better demo than the Chiggs demo. Can u turn the light off? Why not just duct tape it to a stick & detect with it....save yourself $1400.

[@charlesmcdo1884]

Great

[@maenbtoosh7310]

Nice work, but we need a new video to show as depth test with coin and Jeweley

[@refresh5690]

3:50 I was looking to go deaf today! Thanks!

[@williampopov7525]

Hi, l don't know what I am doing wrong. I can't seem to get my pinpointed to make any noise . No beeps, I turn it on and do everything to get the sound on , but no luck... H E L P. Yes I have the water proff one,orange coloured. Will from NJ. Thanks for any ones help..

[@Gigmaster]

Try changing the mode like in the video.

[@williampopov7525]

Thanks, for the help. I've got the sound on.

[@steveevans4932]

good info, but they should rename it "wide pointer" does not pin point

[@theDeitz]

Yep, it will pin point above the ground but once it enters a hole it searches 360 degree and down.

[@mrouterrim]

How many times have you been told of looking like Hawke on mash ???

[@Gigmaster]

mrouterrim Lol, many times!

[@nancydecosta8577]

What exactly is the name and model name of this pin-pointer

[@Gigmaster]

Garrett Carrot Pinpointer - amzn.to/2Cjfkic

[@philfrederickiii4886]

Beware of the counterfeit pinpointer. They look exactly like the carrot and it says Garrett on the side. They also say made in China. They cost about $ 70.

[@blippyy4177]

..says made in China on the pinpointer itself or the box?

[@robertoorozco679]

I, dont understad why 3 modes of deep.why more confuse.just only with one way and the more deep posible.everyone want deeper

[@stevencroon]

Too much sensitivity can cause you to dig way too big of a hole to find your target.

[@ryders_mom]

Higher sensitivity can also make it beep/vibrate in highly mineralized soil. You need different sensitivity for different soils/ground conditions.
