Handheld metal detector

A compact pinpointer-style detector is designed for accurate localisation of small metal objects.

It can be used for:

• coins,
• jewellery,
• keys,
• screws,
• metal fragments,
• cables,
• small scrap items.

GP-POINTER design

Unlike a large search detector, a handheld pinpointer is intended for more precise searching in a limited area.

It is particularly useful after the approximate location of an object has already been identified.

12 kHz operating frequency

The current detector operates at 12 kHz.

Audible alert

When metal is detected, the unit provides an audible signal.

Vibration alert

The detector also vibrates, which can be useful in noisy outdoor conditions or when the user does not want to rely only on sound.

LED illumination

A built-in LED helps illuminate the search area in:

• low light,
• holes,
• gaps,
• shaded terrain,
• evening conditions.

Increasing signal intensity

The product description indicates that the signal becomes more intense as the detector gets closer to the metal object.

This helps narrow down the object's exact location.

IP66 protection

The housing is rated IP66, providing protection against dust and strong water jets.

This does not mean the detector should automatically be treated as suitable for prolonged underwater immersion.

Beach searching

The detector can be useful for finding metal objects in sand, including:

• coins,
• rings,
• keys,
• small metal items.

Forest and outdoor use

Its compact dimensions make it easy to carry during outdoor searches.

A strap and holder are included.

9 V battery

The detector uses a standard 6F22 9 V battery, which is included.

Compact dimensions

The unit measures approximately 23 cm × 4 cm.

Its size makes it easy to:

• carry,
• store,
• operate one-handed,
• use in narrow spaces.

Search technique

For more precise results:

1. switch the detector on,
2. move it slowly around the target area,
3. listen and feel for alerts,
4. approach the object from several directions,
5. narrow down its position.

As a secondary detector

A pinpointer works particularly well alongside a larger metal detector.

The larger detector searches the wider area, while the handheld device helps identify the exact target location.

Cleaning and storage

After outdoor use:

• remove soil and sand,
• wipe the housing,
• dry the detector,
• check the battery compartment,
• store it in a dry place.

Remove the battery during long periods of storage.

Responsible searching

Before using a metal detector, always check whether searching is permitted in the chosen location.

Private land may require the owner's permission, while protected, archaeological or historic areas may be subject to special rules.

Choosing a metal detector

Consider:

• detector type,
• operating frequency,
• alert system,
• environmental protection,
• power source,
• size,
• included accessories.
