I'm really good at breaking stuff!!
Quote of the day.. 😂😂
I just found mine in a lake. Cleaned the board off, dried it, and changed the battery, and it works great!
I’ve just had my GP Pointer out on its first dig today and it’s a treat for the price. Nice change from spending a chunk of change for once.
Ive had mine for 3yr plus,works great.
Is it waterproof?
Man. I bought one after you. £25. From eBay. Not looked back Kris. Works a treat.
Just ordered one of these. Anything is better than the free one I got when I ordered my Ace 400. Thing doesn't go off unless it's touching whatever you're looking for...Give me about an inch or two, and I'll be happy!
That's what your wife said .. just kidding it was so easy I shouldn't have even went for it. 😉😂
Seriously however, kind of range do you get out of yours? I just ordered one from eBay and I can only get about an inch from a quarter half an inch in the ground. Is that about right or did I get a lemon?
@@Jayson90210 I've never really planted anything to do a practical test, because air testing it isn't quite the same situation, but I don't know, maybe 2-3 inches? You might have gotten a lemon. Like he said in the video, the thing about buying a non branded product is that you are taking a gamble, but you're out less than if you bought a brand named one where they're basically charging you for the name.
I just ordered one of these, never seen a bad review on it !!
My first Quest X10 kit came with the GP and two years later it works like the day I got it. Now my 9 years old son uses it and I got a Pro Find 35
I got the same one for a tenner does what it says on the box and as you say just keeps on going
I have one I love it....Nice review
I have one works great. $20 Canadian from Aliexpress. Free shipping too!
Hi, when I 1st started metal detecting I got one of the pinpointers to see if I would need one and yes it all worked fine until i lost it on my 4th dig with it, so I was going to upgrade it but in the end got the same GP one and it do works and help u recover your goods quicker and I'm now at the start is it really worth me spending a lot more money on one when this is doing the same trick plus if I lose it I'm not losing out on alot of money, so the end of the day it do what it say not too bothered about a very tiny bit of depth u lose, I'm happy it's doing its job so 👍👍
Just bought one, it's in its way now. Bought a water proof cover to from Renton so hopefully it lasts a while.
My GP Pointer has started beeping continuously everytime I turn it on. I've removed and replaced the bazttery with no change it the beeping. Any suggestions?
Just becoming 'born again detectorists at 78 (me) and 82 (hubby) can't wait to get one of these. Now just need the modern answer to a garden spade and strong knife! Any suggestions on the best buys?
Mary
THIS IS A GREAT POINTER...add a piece of foam in the battery compartment to keep it from turning on/off by itself...!!!...as some have complained...!!! thank you...!!!
I just bought one, so I could modify the depth, but sadly, it worked perfectly, and I had nothing to mod
Absolutely agree with your comments! Thanks for the review!
Just got it. So far so good. Won't think of spending heaps of dollars for a brand or just half an inch.
Using mine for half a year already and its great
what did you find?
I have one of these and it starts to spaz out in humid weather. I live in the American South and it is always humid, so it will start to beep even when there’s no metal near it. It only works when it is cool and not humid outside. When it does work, it works great though, so I would recommend it too. Just don’t use it in humid weather
I have this same pointer. I have had it since January and have put it to the test also. The only thing I haven’t done is stuck it on water. It says waterproof, but I haven’t been willing to test that factor. Mine also works well.
I bought one of these this week and tried it out today. For 20 quid it's pretty good. It was good on the beach, helped me spend less time digging for nothing (I have an ACE 150, hopefully going to get 400i soon)
Very nice. I have often wondered how that thing was going. Good to see that cheap and cheerful can actually be, cheap AND cheerful. GBP30.00 is equivalent to AU$50.00. Or 350 in dog years. Great value. Providing you have opposable thumbs. Cheers for letting us know. Hooroo!
Can't help but agree with some of your points, keep up the good work.
Liverpool Loo I think that maybe the first time on youtube I haven’t seen someone try and defend their point and actually listen to what I said!
You’re a refreshing change, Liverpool Loo. Thankyou! :)
I have one. Works great!!
i use one too for about 5 months now its working perfectly for me i also use a garrett pro pointer 2 i think it detects a little deeper than the gp one but for the money its a great pinpointer
Looks good. Found it on Aliexpress for $34 in black or orange.
After my Garrett PP2 died I got one of these. Agreed. They bloody last. No problems in 2 years of beating the crap out of it. I've even fully submerged it a couple of times when river detecting, and it survived after I shook it dry. Defo worth the price. Bought a second one for use with my backup machine. I think I paid $15 for the second one! (12pounds or so?) Can't beat it. Might do a silicon waterproof on it as per aquachigger. But for now also great piece of kit. Great review. Good luck out there. Hope the weather is nice.
They last because Garrett designed them to last..
It’s one thing to shamefully buy one out of necessity, it’s quite another to brag about it, normalize Treason and think it’s ok.
I got an orange one and a black one. Only paid $15 for the black one (10 pounds?). Great. I beat the crap out of them for 2 years. Outlasted my Garrett pp2. Defo recommended.
had mine well over a year payed £15 it gets abused and its still going :)
Most of this electronic equipment is usually made in China and depends on quality control by the company who commissioned to be made overseas most are made from the same source.
Nicely done. I have one of these, little less depth than the brands but for a third of the price totally worth it!
Did you know u can make these go deeper by super tuning them czcams.com/video/PVphPxPjcp8/video.html
to be honest it is a good bit of kit considering your detector does the work and most coins in holes come out in first few inches or in the hole wall the only thing i would be dubious about is its waterproof capabilities under water works in wet sand and bad rain submerged?
I bought one for $25 works really well would recommend
Always enjoy your videos. After a few years not detecting I have Just dusted off my Detector and dug out my kit to find my trusty Garrett pointer is missing. Destroyed house in the search as I cant justify the cost of new garrett but no joy in finding it. Will give this one a go. Thanks for the heads up 👍
I’ve killed mine. Don’t use it in the river
You can make it waterproof with a Plasti Dip spray can.
Don't forget to cover the buzzer.
I've had one of these for a while now used regularly cost me 17 quid from amazon and I was thinking of getting a new branded one but after watching a few reviews I've changed my mind I'm picking up coins from 5cm away which is enough for me and should be good enough for anyone else given most detectors have a pinpointer so your target hole shouldn't be that far away unless you're drunk 😀
i purchased on and the switch came apart 30 minutes later. they sent a replacement and its been doing well so far.
"unbranded" stuff is often very good from china. people knock chinese stuff as a matter of course through bias and usually without having bought anything direct from china but in my experience they can do as good work as any other country. could say more but that'll do. anything you need it's always worth trying direct from china, it is the world's factory after all.
Are you 'avin a laugh? Is he 'avin a laugh? My first metal detector was from China.
It was awful. Died within the month and couldn’t find a pound coin.
@@Addictedtobleeps Some they can do really well cheap and some terribly crappy.. 😂
Yup I got one from Amazon £13 Inc p/p and works ok after I pushed the sensor down to the end but I've had no problems with it 👍
How far can you push it to the end?
They are 20$ u.s on Amazon and love mine
I’ve had my GP pinpointer for over a year now and It’s out lived my sons Garrett pro and my mates think I’m joking.but to true they are brilliant for the money some time you do pay for the name
Yep, had one for over a year now , brilliant down to 2inches or so....good deal for such a cheap item ...
Mine has lasted on the same battery for a year but it can be very unreliable sometimes it just wouldn't work so i would have to adjust it
Does this work well with small gold? Like pickers?
don't the Grrett ones give u a guarantee, where u can send it back & get a new one? I bought a Kuman version if the knockoffs & i love it!
Just ordered one.
Nice touch....
Man had mine a year now still going strong and on one battery for the dosh it can't be beat
the Gold Hunter is a very good cheap pointer... i've done a review Kris
Super like. Vídeo top
I bought the same model from Walmart. It took about 6 days to get here. I was getting interference from something as it would go off continuously. I finally removed the metal ring from the top and have not had a problem since. I paid around $41.00 US for it.
Mine died, 2nd outing. Just would not stop beeping and vibrating. In the bin, now looking for a proper pinpointer
Gareth Price You didn’t get a replacement or a refund...?
Have seen these. I’m just starting out in the hobby. After spending £170 On a second hand euro ace. Couldn’t afford to slash out another £100. Great review an I will be ‘investing’ £30 on one too.
Happy hunting!
Managed to kill mine, bought of amazon explained that it stated an ip that should withstand rain and they are sending another. £30 and great customer service
I have one of these, its brill. Would recommend xxx
I bought one off ebay 21 pound delivered worked Brilliantly! within 2 weeks i had my first one stolen outta my car! so promptly bought another and it is even better than the 1st one.plus Do the supertune on the GP it takes it upto 4 and half inches.just an inch less than my sons 120 quid Garret carrot! im sticking with the gp pointer!¬ quality as for the speaker just put a waterproof Breathable plaster over it! works fine and you can still hear it! Nasty Cheap chinese Carrot! that is actually Excellent! Go figure! na, Ive had good chinese 50 quid detectors too total garret rip offs that have same depths as the ace series.although i do love my ace 400 i
*August 2018 eBay $23 U.S. Can't go wrong.* On one side if it has less distance to detect an object is that not a good thing?
I call that more accurate, more precise.
Hey bud are you still using that pointer as I was just looking at them on ebay and was going to get one??
ulster digging I left mine on a field, but my friends who have one say they’re still going strong.
Be careful though, the ones that are on EBay are the same name, but are lot the same models. People have had problems apparently.
But the ones from the link are fine.
@@Addictedtobleeps cheers buddy
i saw a few reviews on the gp pointer and many deslike the simple fact the gp pointer only can detect metal up to a inch...isnt that a good thing??? i rather knowing that is that close that i dont need to dig deeper....
xpanco my garrett pro pointer goes deep but i like to know that when my poiner beeps im on it. I just use my bouty hunter for pinpointing if i need to pinpoint over 2 inches my etrack is good for that
mine works excellent as well, i did lube the power switch with some gun oil because it was sticking but it`s good now, got 9 mths on it now!!1
When i first go it it seemed stronger. Now it has to be a inch away to beep on small coin. Its definitley not waterproof i found out. Still i paid $36 us total shipped so i rock it.
I have a minelab one that is supposed to tell you iron from Kellyco that came with my ex 900 and it only turns on about once out of three tries. 🤷 I hate it.
Had one. Sold it with a detector I sold. Missed it so much I decided to buy another. Got a green one. This one I only paid $16 us for (£12). Can't beat it. Couple of mods out there for depth increase so itcan rival the expensive ones. A dab of silicone on the button and its waterproof! Great for tossing in the car as a backup or to lend to a friend to detect with. As usual. Good straightforward video. Stay safe out there.
I just got my today. I paid 13.65$ USD on ebay
Terrible..
Actually bragging about this, Your Just some sad people.. When 3rd world trash runs ruin across your country, remember..It’s your fault.. …
When They ask(in Mandarin)Explain to your Grandchildren why the CCP took over and enslaved them using rigged elections, corrupted liberal officials and economic warfare you can say that Traitorous/leftist trash like yourselves gleefully and shamelessly sold them out at the cost of cheap, Pirated, Stolen CRAP.
Is md720 a good cheap pinpointer
I just bought one of them. Ain't used it yet though. Thanks for the vid brother.
Robbo 👍 👍 👍
Just bought 3 for $15 Canadian (can't get any cheaper than that) for my son and I. We metal all the time and these make digging faster and more rewarding. Your videos are great by the way. You remind me of my uncle Tiggy....you hand him rock and it breaks. (─ ‿ ─)
Good review video. I've just started with a Garrett Ace 250 and didn't want to spend another hundred notes or more on a pointer. I've ordered one of these, if it's good enough for you guys it's good enough for a total nooooob
A take it back after 2 days of drying out and some wd40 it’s working again.
I’ve called it John McClain
I have been having an orange garrett for 3 years and 4 months ago it started falsing! It's very annoying. I will try this one
Don't want to pay 155$ can for an other garrett. Just my opinion.
Very tempted to buy one 👍🏼🤠
I got one of those off ebay and it cost me £15 same make free postage, I find with brands you are paying over the top for their brand name
I am happy with those GP pointer
Harry! It's red, live with it, we have too! Cheers. Also see Bishop's D,D, Dan is supporting x pointer wader, think i'll go with him!
Both of my overpriced Whites TRX failed within a month of use. Have a Garrett wireless with my Max now and even it has some issues but works once you figure out what it's doing. So buying the most expensive pp isn't always the best way to go. My next pp will be the GP.
I bought it for 20 € circa: it does what it is supposed to do. A bit less powerful if compared to Garrett, but I saved at least a hundred euro.
On top of that, please do not try to modify it. Most of hack videos on YT is junk.
They do them in black and green aswell
Thanks Kris, good review, I have been looking at these with interest. I suppose the one thing though is some pointers have good guarantees so you can have them replaced if they fail in a year. Only heard good things about these though.
Glad it's working for you. I see other videos where people are having trouble with faulting.
martyisnuts aboutdiggin Although
They look exactly the same with the same name, others are buying the ‘same’ pointer from EBay for half the price.
I don’t think they’re the same. I think it’s a branding thing. All people who have brought that actual pointer from the link I have haven’t had one problem with it. At least ten that I personally know so far.
And it lasted over a year for me until I lost it 😂
@@Addictedtobleeps if my Garrett carrot ever gives the ghost I might try one. But its still going strong after a 1.5 years. Throw the mud and into the sea its takes a licking and keeps on beeping. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
It says the link doesn’t work.
Dude thank you so much. I'm a beginner and your channel is such a joy. I wish us all great fortune finds. Again, thanks.
Helpful! Good sensitivity, eh? Cheap, too....
hit or miss i think.
I’ve have the exact same pointer, can’t say enough about it.
You get water proof one?
You're a bit rough with things I've noticed but hope it keeps working for you. I love my carrot. The only thing that will last forever is a stone.
cheers I'm going to get one.
Yes iv hated my Minelab pro thing from day one. Lost my garret on a trip. The garret was way way the best of the 2... this £30 one is tempting.
Jay Knibbs buy one. Me and my bud went out beach detecting today. This seemed better than his Garrett Carrot. Sincerely.
Have you had any issues with ground balancing this pin pointer?
Cool video! 😎🤘
Can we can a update on the carrot?
I left it on a beach. Whooops!
Temu they are 14 bucks in the us
I have a GT pointer, it works great, probably built in exactly the same factoty as the more expensive garrett
hey do you know what the beep codes are for this sometimes it beeps on its own
Any one know how deep in the water it can go
My one died after 4th time I used it wouldn’t stop bleeping!!!
Great review
Are these pointers waterproof????
your theory of brand reputation is faulty, because it is based on old economics when a brand had to design and test its own products.
nowdays, brands import from china with their own brand printed on the product for a small extra cost.
if you buy brand names in 2020, you are getting the exact same product as a china-product from ebay, but paying extra to cover the cost of printing the brand name on the product long after manufacture.
Yup, I agree 👍🏻
mine died after 3 uses , sent it back and got the minelab instead
