Very good demonstration!
Thanks, still waiting to hear from Nokta to see what they say about this issue. Happy Hunting!
A good, honest review. I'd send it back, too.❤
Thanks Cynthia!
Very nice finds! My Accupoint works well so far! (I won it from Nokta/Relics Radio Show). Keep us posted on it!
Congrats on winning the Accupoint! I am glad to hear that yours is working well so far. I am hoping that I am just the unlucky one who got a dud. I will be sure to keep everyone up to date on how this plays out. Happy Hunting!
Very good review Sweet Diggz. Sorry the pinpointer was acting up. The money clip is cool. Have a great week!
Thank you. Too bad there wasn't money in the money clip lol, that would have been even cooler! Thanks for watching!
I’m very surprised that Nokta has not gotten back to you. I had to send my Garrett pinpointer to Garrett 2 weeks ago. I got it back yesterday, they sent a brand new unit at no charge.
Nokta is a people company, they really care about the customer. This surprises me.
I am surprised too, as I have heard the same thing about Nokta's customer service. I am still waiting to hear back from them as of this moment, and starting to get a little worried to be honest. I hope they will reach out soon. I will update if I do get anywhere with this issue. Glad to hear that Garrett took care of that for you, that is how it should be. Thank you so much for watching!
ANOTHER VERY GOOD VIDEO! THIS IS A CHANNEL TO SUBSCRIBE TO AND TO WATCH REGULARLY ! GREAT JOB
Thank you so much! Nokta is sending me a replacement and I should be getting it soon. I plan on featuring it in a future video to hopefully show that the new one will work the way it is supposed to. I feel that it is only right to follow up on this issue, especially if the new pointer works well and give a fair overall review of the product and company response. Thanks for watching and Happy Hunting!
New subscriber here. The quality of your videos is very good and I like the sound of your voice.
Thanks for watching!
The first normal person who checks with a pin before digging.👍👍
Thanks for watching!!! Take Care!
Got one for Christmas but haven't been out with it yet. A well put together video, sorry your one is playing up .
I actually have gotten a replacement and have had it out a couple of times and it seems to be working okay so far. It is a nice pointer, you will be happy with it! Thank you for watching!
WOW, another great video. I bet that's a huge disappointment to get a new toy and have it flub up like that. I have a cheap Kuman KW30 Pinpointer that works well, and I have a Garrett pin pointer that I will be using a lot next season. Both seem to work well.
Thank you, it is disappointing for sure! I am glad you are liking your pin pointers, they are essential tools that we all rely on. Thanks for watching!
Hi Sweetdigz, have you tried to change the frequency on the pinpointer when it acts up? Could be interfering with the detector.
On my Garrett carrot, mud packs in the speaker grill and mutes the sound. Cheers😊
Yes I have tried changing the frequency and even have turned off my detector completely and still had the issue. That is good to know about the Garrett Carrot speaker grill and mud. Thanks for sharing your suggestions and input, I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
A couple things to try…..turn the sensitivity down a couple notches. Change the frequency and see if that is the problem. Otherwise, might get in touch with Your dealer or Nokta and see if it needs to be returned. I’ve got one, but haven’t had any problems as of yet.
I have tried both turning down the sensitivity and changing frequencies and still had it malfunction. I have reached out to Nokta twice and it has been a week and I have yet to hear back. I will keep everyone posted if I hear anything from them. I am going to contact the dealer now as well since I don't seem to be getting anywhere with Nokta. I really appreciate your guidance and suggestions, thank you!
Cool hunt. I surprised Nokta hasn't contacted you back.
Thanks! Nokta actually just got back to me yesterday saying they will look into it. Hopefully they will get back to me soon with an update. Thanks for watching!
For me the good one is the Garrett pin pointer,, is expensive but it’s really good, 👍👍👍
Thanks for letting me know your pinpointer choice. I like to hear fist hand opinions on products, especially when they are and expensive purchase. Thanks for watching!
Wow, weird deal with the pinpointer???? Good luck getting it resolved!
I am happy to say that Nokta replaced the pinpointer for me and I just got it yesterday. I cannot wait to get out and try it. I will follow up on a future video to show how it goes. Fingers crossed, everything works the way it should.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow thats a bummer I hope that it gets corrected or figured out. When I started using the Xp Mi-6 I had all kinds of issues that turned out to be operator error and it was really frustrating. I was really excited to see the acupoint in action…I saw that it can change frequencies, was that the issue?
I hope it gets corrected too. As of right now, I am still waiting for a response from Nokta. I wish they would just reach out and let me know how to proceed with this issue. Either way it would be nice of them to acknowledge my multiple inquiries instead of leaving me with no response. I have tried everything including changing frequencies and even turning off my metal detector to remove any interference and it still malfunctions. I appreciate the suggestion. It is just very frustrating when you purchase an expensive item and it doesn't work. I will be sure to update everyone as this plays out. Glad you got your pinpointer issues figured out! Pinpointers are an essential tool and need to be reliable. How are you liking the Xp Mi-6 pointer now?
@@sweetdiggz after figuring out all the quirks and how to adjust things I now love the mi-6. My buddy uses the Garett carrot and the mi-6 picks things up where the Garett doesn’t. I wanna get a solid backup pinpointer and features of the Nokta really has me interested. But….first gen new gadgets tend to have gremlins so maybe I’ll wait for the next gen or an update on what is causing that issue. Frustrating for sure.
Hey it may be a bit premature to write it off just yet I was thinking that they were heading in the right direction with it, and that sounds a bit like a warning like it was left on. But it may need a reset or something and of course get in touch with Nokta they are very good as far as taking care of the end users. I did have high hopes for it.
I am hoping I will hear back from Nokta soon (it has been a week so far with no response) I am hoping they can give me some insight as to the reason this could be happening. I really hope you are right, and they help me with this. After your suggestion of it possibly being the warning/left on alarm, I decided to test this theory. I tested the "Lost Alarm" to see if it will replicate what I am experiencing and it only will go off if the device is not used for 5 minutes and it lets out a quick double beep with a pause then a double beep and this continues until you press the button. While using the pinpointer out in the field, I checked my raw footage and timed from when I last handled it to when it beeped and it was never as long as 5 minutes. Also the beep was continuous for me. That was a great suggestion and I am glad you mentioned it so I could test this theory. I really appreciate you watching and offering your insight.
I have the exact same problem with nokta accupoint, it just goes crazy at random, I press the button once (recalibrate) and it stops, but its annoying.. seems like it goes off when I bump into things too.. and also would be good with more volume levels, cause its loud even on low.
Sorry to hear that you are having the same issue. For the volume, I removed the plastic amplifier piece (inside the cap where you charge it) That makes a difference. I agree it is loud lol.
Mine does that noise, just tap the on off and it goes away, just before the red line starts there is a icon, the reviewer said it was spinning to recalibrate the pp. it’s too close to the detector anyway. It’s very sensitive.
Nokta has replace that pinpointer since that video. I now use the new one with my legend and pair it to the headphones. It seems to work fine most of the time. One thing I notice, is when I am searching the pointer sometimes falses and I have to press the button to reset it. It is a little irritating when I don't realize that it is doing it and I am wasting time chasing a ghost signal lol. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate your advice!
Nice review! Sorry it's not working for you. I just got one in the mail that I won and haven't tried it yet!
Thanks! Let me know how you like it once you get it out. I am hoping I am the unlucky one who just got a dud.
Sure, will let you know.@@sweetdiggz
So in your opinion is it worth the investment? I really like the features and the battery. I have the dr. Otek pointer and it behaves just the same and the batteries don’t last no matter the brand.
Since this video, Nokta has replaced the pinpointer for me. I now use my new Accupoint along with my Legend and so far I have had no issues. I do feel that this product was rushed out too soon and that may be why there were issues with them. I have heard from others that they had the same issues with their AccuPoint. Having said that I love that it is rechargeable and the charge lasts a good while. And I like how it pairs with the Legend headphones. The depth is not as good as I would have hoped but still decent. Overall I am happy with it. If you do purchase one and have issues I feel that Nokta has really good customer service and would not hesitate to help with any issues you may have. I hope this helps with your decision! Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Hunting!
@@sweetdiggz thank you for the information, keep up the good work!
I throughly enjoy my Nokta Simplex and the Legend but I think I’ll stay with my Garrett Carrot. It may only have low,medium and high sensitivity with tone/vibrate or vibration but it’s proven and tough. The only feature I like about the Acupoint is volume control.
I actually just found out I am getting a replacement Accupoint from Nokta, so I hope the new one will be good. I hear that the Garrett Carrot is very good and reliable, that would probably be my next choice if I wasn't getting the replacement. Fingers crossed everything works out! Happy Hunting!
@@sweetdiggz …. I’m not putting the Acupoint down, I will wait until all the bugs are worked out and the Carrot bites the dust. LoL ..
@@James-dtexTexas I know you are not putting the Accupoint down lol. It is true with all types of products that it may be better to wait for the kinks to be worked out for sure. Hopefully your Carrot lives a long happy life lol. Take Care!
You might try another Frequency on the pinpointer. There are three to choose from.
I did try changing the frequencies on the pinpointer, that is a really great suggestion. It still malfunctioned unfortunately. I did get my replacement AccuPoint from Nokta and it seems to be working fine so I am relieved, to say the least. I really appreciate you watching and offering your advice, thank you, happy hunting and Merry Christmas!
전 코리아에서 녹타 레전드 탐지기 녹타 핀포 사용중인대 에러가 넘 많이 뜨내요 이제품이 이런지 알았는대 교환하신거 보니 불량이였군요 구독 좋아유 갑니다^^
Is there any other bluetooth pinpointer that works with the legend and Nokta wireless headphones?
That is a very good question, I have wondered the same thing. If I find out if there is any other compatible pinpointer I will let you know for sure!
I went ahead and ordered the accupoint, I will see if it works@@sweetdiggz
All of my pinpointers act up eventually but not when new. Seems like a sensitivity/frequency issue👋
I actually just heard back from Nokta and they are replacing the pinpointer for me. So I am happy. Hopefully the new one will be okay!
Just out of curiosity...did you have a watch on? Something metallic on your jacket? Or a ring on your finger? I had that issue yesterday.
Hi Jamie, I did not have a watch or a ring on, My jacket has a plastic zipper but there could possibly be metal somewhere on it. This issue repeatedly happened to me on several occasions even without me wearing the jacket. I sent video clips of the issue to Nokta and they ended up replacing the pointer for me. I would reach out to them if you continue to have the same issues. I now use the new pointer along with the Legend and it seems to be working okay so far. What Metal detector are you using with the Accupoint?
So sorry about that sweetheart😞
Thanks Juice
@@sweetdiggz anytime sweetheart 💯
I think I'll continue on with my pro pointer 2 one push on and go.
I agree that sometimes simple is better. The more features you add to something the more potential there is to have problems. Nokta sent me a replacement AccuPoint and I can't wait to get out and try it to see what happens. I will be sure to update everyone on my experience with the replacement. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Happy Hunting!
I have 2 Accupoint pinpointers and mine acts just like yours and I am not impressed with the depth either. That is why I will be selling the one still in the box and I have ordered the XP mi4.
I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with the same thing! I contacted Nokta and they ended up sending me a replacement. I now use it with my Legend and have had no problems so far (fingers crossed) I would love to hear how you like the XP mi4 when you get it! It is nice to hear first hand comparisons on products/equipment. Thank you so much for watching and happy hunting!
definetely a money clip, that's a bucket lister
It was so unexpected to find a money clip out there lol. Thanks for watching!
You have to ground balance it turn it on with the pinpointer on the ground
Hi Dustin, I did ground balance the Accupoint and it still malfunctioned unfortunately . That was a great suggestion, and I really appreciate it. Nokta is sending me a replacement and I should be getting it soon. Hopefully everything will work the way it is supposed to with the new one. I will update my experience with the new unit in a future video. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to offer me advice! Happy Hunting!
every brand got its lemons , lets hope they only have a few sent out
So true! I have my replacement now and it seems to be working okay so far, so I am happy. Thanks for watching!
Sry Sweet Diggz maybe its that unit and not rest them . Keep swinging 😊
Thanks, I am hoping that I am just the unlucky one who got a bad unit. Thanks for watching and happy hunting!
감도6으로해도 오작동 심합니다.!!
I tried everything with that particular unit and no matter what, It still malfunctioned unfortunately. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Look great..but very unreliable..3rd video..doing the same thing..NOT GOOD😂😂😂
I ended up getting my accupoint replaced by Nokta. I am using the new one with my Legend and so far I have not had any issues. But yes, I have heard others with the same issues.
@sweetdiggz did you get a response from them yet? just got mine and it started doing the same thing???
Since this video, Nokta has replaced my Accupoint. I am now using it with my Legend and it seems to be good. Once in a while it falses on me but much better now. It doesn't act up like the last one did in my video. However, I am wondering if it is working better because it is made to work with the Legend and not the Simplex+. What detector do you use? If having problems, I would contact the company you got it from or if that doesn't get you anywhere, contact Nokta, they have pretty good customer service. I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.
Yeah, Garrett pinpointers are really good vibrates also. Have water proof ones also.
If I don't get anywhere with Nokta, I will definitely look into the Garrett pinpointer. Is that what you are using?
Yes. Works great.
@@scooter9157 Awesome, It is good to hear first hand from you and your experience. I appreciate your help!
Hey no problem, gotta have a gd pinpointer to find pin that gold ring. Whoo hoo. Lol
Does it do it with your detector off?
