Solid review! Thank you! I have the MI-4. And I agree with you on the "Cons". I'm 63. My hearing isn't what it once was... so, if I could fix only one of the cons, it would be the volume....or lack of. As far as the rechargeable battery goes, it's nice, but I could take it or leave it. I also own the Garrett ProAT. If the Carrot had a pitch mode, that would be the only PP I'd own.
Good honest video, if your battery goes dead, just wing it like we did in the old days :)) If we only had them when I was young :)) We used the edge of the coil,
Got a Garrett at pinpointer myself but got my buddy this one for his birthday hope he’s gonna like it should be a big improvement from his parkside 15euro pinpointer
Nice detailed review. I have the Garrett AT and like it, but looking to get a back up. I’m either getting the MI 4 or the Tecknetics/Fisher pinpointer. My biggest thing is how easy is it to find the power button & turn On/Off with gloves. I don’t want to have to look at my PPointer to find the power button.
I agree. I hate fumbling around with them. I’ve used several Garrett pointers over the years. I like them but the button on the AT is a little difficult. On the other hand, the button on the Fisher F-Pulse seems easy to operate.
I live in central Utah. A couple of guys that live near me found several Mormon coins several years ago. I wonder how many are still out there. I am thinking about getting back in the hobby now that I am retired. Great review
Wow, I would love to hear that story! These coins are incredibly rare and I’ve never heard of someone finding one while metal detecting. I am aware of one that was found in a fireplace mantle in a pioneer home in Salt Lake and another in a safety deposit box In California. Larry H. Miller (family) reportedly has the largest private collection.
@@mdutah-insearchofmormongold Down in Spring City. A couple of locals would hunt everywhere and they got several Mormon gold coins in that area. This was several years ago but I would imagine there are some left in the ground somewhere in the state. I am not sure about how many were made or accounted for. I just ordered a Nox 900 and plan to try and get my old fat body out and dig some treasures. I have found many tokens and old coins in the area down here. Good luck to you.
They’re both great, but Garrett is my go-to. It’s super reliable. There are also improvements with the latest model. Increased sensitivity and it is waterproof up to 20 feet.
@@mdutah-insearchofmormongold I also like the fact the Garrett Carrot uses an easily replaceable 9-volt battery vs having to remember and have to take the time to recharge a pinpointer. If the battery dies in the field, a quick 9-volt battery swap takes seconds to do and carrying a spare 9-volt is easily done in any pouch or pocket.
Why not want a rechargeable ? You can replace the bats easily on most machines after 5 yrs if you need to.. my original nox still lasts 11 plus hours and it's 4 or 5 yrs old
Hi bud good video I love my xp but I don’t know how much battery’s are in the US but 1xx9volt battery is about $12 Australian and now after buying 10 batteries you could get a new pin pointer but in Australia my pin pointer cost me $229
Wow! I can buy 9 volt batteries here in the US for $2.50 each. A handful of them over the life of a pointer is certainly worth it, but I can see how the rechargeable option would be appealing if you’re paying that much! I appreciate you sharing this information.
Dont need a lost alarm if you use a tether..and with the led light ..it blinks and indicates how low your bat is.. i love rechargable md equipments..remembering to recharge isnt a big deal for me ..and they last A LONG time per charge anyway...especially with vibrate off
Another cool thing about xp..is you can buy the entire guts for like 90 bucks . Your gonna go through pin pointers over the yrs anyway the way they get turned off and on 300 times a day..and buying complete new guts and keeping the old shell ya get a brand new pointer for 90 bucks
The Mi-4 comes with the holster?? :O

I appreciate your comments. It’s a great device but I also like the Garrett.

Done that a few times lol. They certainly are a luxury item!
Love this pinpointer and great video well done

Thanks! I hope you find some great stuff!
Got a Garrett at pinpointer myself but got my buddy this one for his birthday hope he’s gonna like it should be a big improvement from his parkside 15euro pinpointer
The Garrett is a great device. Super reliable and durable. He should enjoy it!
Great video thanks!
Glad you liked it!

awesome video !can you give me an update on the pin pointer? xp mi-4 vs the garrett pro carrot which do you personally prefer? Thanks

Which new detector can you buy that is not a rechargeable one 😢,unfortunately everything is going that way.
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of the rechargeable ones. Check out Garrett. My A/T Gold uses AA batteries.
Why not want a rechargeable ?
You can replace the bats easily on most machines after 5 yrs if you need to.. my original nox still lasts 11 plus hours and it's 4 or 5 yrs old
what depth can work?
Depends on the sensitivity setting and conditions in the environment. On average, it will pick things up between 1-3 inches.
Can it detect titanium and what's the range
It should pick up anything metallic. The range depends on the sensitivity setting. On average 0-3 inches.

Id like to see a head to head against a Fisher F pulse. The Fisher has crushed all other competition easily.
Yeah, the Fisher is a great device. Check out my other video for a comparison with other pinpointers.
Mg kano yng XP mi -4 pointer
Dont need a lost alarm if you use a tether..and with the led light ..it blinks and indicates how low your bat is.. i love rechargable md equipments..remembering to recharge isnt a big deal for me ..and they last A LONG time per charge anyway...especially with vibrate off
Best pinpointer ever made
Thanks, I appreciate your input!
You didn't show a sensitivity test on the small objects. Like one grain of gold
Yeah, it’s hard to show everything. Plus, I didn’t have any grains of gold laying around lol
How much?
The MI-4 runs about $119
I need this were shop
I bought it off eBay from Serious Detecting
I bought 2 in a row and they both had a broken cap
That sucks! I hope you were able to return them.
Another cool thing about xp..is you can buy the entire guts for like 90 bucks . Your gonna go through pin pointers over the yrs anyway the way they get turned off and on 300 times a day..and buying complete new guts and keeping the old shell ya get a brand new pointer for 90 bucks
Thanks for the advice!
