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!!
Thanks for the feed back.
Thank you for the comparison! You have saved me over $100.00.
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 UA-cam vids but its blown me away with how good it is
I got the GP and to tell the truth it's done more than I expected for 20 bucks 😎👍
Got one to ,works fine 💰
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.
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.
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
Great video ,good info,thank you much.
Great test glad you took the chance never would have thought something that cheap would perform better than just okay
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.
got one myself too! :) since you have experience does it work good for a beach? like maybe 30cm underwater?
@@vutro6275 Works great on the beach but it is NOT waterproof. You cannot take it underwater.
@@vutro6275 You can waterproof it with a plasti dip spray can.
Cover the beeper with smth and the button. Look it up, is easy to do and inexpensive.
great test work fam. loads of great info. keep at it. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
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 !
Thanks for the product review - Got the GP pointer
I don’t know, Jack. I think you get what you pay for.. I’ll stay with my Garrett Carrot .....thanks....
Thx for the comparison Jack!
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..
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.
Bought one on Amazon before seeing your review, works good. $16.99 delivered to my door the next day.
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.
I see you like to test cheap vs expensive metal detecting.try your $900 metal detector vs an cheap temu metal detector
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
Amazing work,,, well done
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 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.
Love your energy
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
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.
Super thanks that.s about all I want to pay like up 40 bucks call it good thanks again
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
Thank you
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.
I got the MD 770
That's even a hell of a lot better than the GP
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
This is a good review. What would you recommend using for detecting underground Gold nuggets mostly covered in ore.
Garrett 24K
@@GoldFeverAdventures Thanks!
About $250 aud in Australia
Even if they work, how long will they last before breaking?
That’s the one I just got good to know
Submerge test might be the deal breaker.
Should open a bank out there! Great comparison!
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...
So waht is better the pin pointer or the regular metal detector ?
I think all Pinpointers work fine. A detector you would want to try and get a good one
I use a cheap pinpointer to find pipes, wires and studs in drywall. It is the truth.
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.
They all work. Only cost is the different.
Lots like the Garrett
Is there a pinpointed that you recommend between the el cheapos and the Minelab 35? Thanks for the great prospecting videos!
Lots of Pinpointers out there. Lots of folks like the Garrett. Minelab 20 is also okay.
@@GoldFeverAdventures Seems like pin pointers are like are kind of like noses, every metal detect manufacturer makes one. I guess you get what you pay for most of the time. Thanks for the reply!
@@archstanton9703 I have a a pulse dive pointer from Nokta now but the one I had before and still have it’s still available it’s the dr otek pointer for 50 dollars it’s a very good and rugged pinpointer and I would recommend it to anyone for the price I’ve dropped it accidentally on rocks quite a few times and it still works great and it has really good sensitivity
@@treasurehuntingnewyork5979 Appreciate the tip. I’ll check it out. Have a good one!
@@treasurehuntingnewyork5979 I just got a great no name pinpointer off the big A website. It detects quarters at almost 3 inches which is good enough for me.
How would one of these be for finding metal under insulation? Someone lost something in unfinished attic
As long as the insulation didn’t have a foil back and no wires in the area
Which one is best , video super
I think the cheap ones work just as good.
Starts at 6:46.
My gp pointer works great👍⛏️😎
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?
It would work on any metal nearby
@Gold Fever Adventures & Treasure Hunting Ah right, I was just wondering if there are pin pointers which could indicate ferrous vs non ferrous.
I think your necklace is gone
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'
I wonder if the GB makes a full sized metal detector
No but would be cool.
will this pick up gold too? or just metal coins and stuff
It will pick up gold if it’s a good size
But you need to consider also that the Minelab pinpointer is waterproof unlike the rest.
there are a numerous ways to waterproof this for around $5 or less, if u know what u doin ...
Garretts AT model is water proof
Will this metal pointers detect underground crowbar to find property line?
They will if you are close to line
@@GoldFeverAdventures awesome thanks.
Just got GP its best in Show
Personally I will stick with the Garrett Carrot. A great pin pointer.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
I'm sure it's great but you paid way more for not much more if any. I paid a total of 29 and it is outstanding. Not waterproof the tip is but you can't submerge it. It is a non issue for me as I do all my detecting in Arkansas very few beach areas here.
Looks like the GB beat them all 😁
Ima go snorkelin whats a good cheap waterproof?
Heck I bought a harbor freight handheld I found silver with it. Loaned it out and never saw it again
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.
Witam biedaki ale macie tam pustynie :) My za każdym wypadem mamy 4-10 monet ale polska zwłaszcza Pruska tak ma :)
You reburied enough change to pay for the Chinese pinpointers.
I’m so confused why would you re-bury those coins?
It’s a planted field for metal detecting hunts. Lol
It’s about getting people together and getting people more interested in the hobby.
how much this product
Around 25.00
Why? Why would you re bury the coins? That is just silly!
You’re right. It’s on a planted field. I know there’s coins there. I just wanted to leave them for the next hunt.
𝙏𝙝𝙣𝙭 !
These Chinese companies our going though our Patton offices and getting all the exact information to build these and their suppose to be protected.
and they can build em for 20 bucks, seems the pattent office is teying to rip off the consumer
Please get rid of the ads, very annoying
Fake garrett did ok for 20 bucks.. Get a new one every year..your still ahead.😂
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?
They do make a few good ones but they tend to be on the higher end of cost. It’s cheaper to buy harbor freight batteries and repkace if needed.
