I would be wary of detectors that are not name brand. Your products may be cheaper; but are they documented and proven? Rich

I dug 6" and I wanted to give up, but the probe was still giving me a solid signal even though my bullseye wasn't doing anything. I decided to keep digging. Then finally at 8" I pulled up a nice wheatie 1935. This pinpointer is useful for shallow coins as well. You can used it before you even dig a hole and get an extremely accurate reading of where the coin is. On deeper coins it is a must to help locate the coin in the hole so you know where to dig and when to expect to find the coin.

I have read that it's the balance settings that are most important when detecting. A pin pointer is a must have but there's so many other aspects of detecting. It would be nice for an experienced detector to do a little write up on the most important features for detectors then promote off brands.
