Product Review - The Dr Otek MT6 Waterproof Hand Held Metal Detector Pinpointer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2019
- I like testing out new gear, heck who doesn't? So when Dr Otek approached me about trying their waterproof MT6 pinpointer I thought sure why not. I could use a backup pinpointer anyway and if it can backup the claims it makes on their website maybe it could make its way to my everyday gear. Let's take a look at a basic overview of the unit today and then you can see what it helped find on a full 12 hour hunt in a few days.

Will you do a new video, with an updated review of the Dr. Otek MT-6 Pinpointer. In the Instruction Manual on pages 5-6, Dr. Otek explains how to make the detection range smaller. Achieving pinpoint accuracy by recalibrating balance. I have this pinpointer, and it works exactly as advertised.
It is not a proximity-pointer. It is a Pinpointer.
Hope this helped ya out
There is a major flaw in this review. Your assertion that the Dr. Otek pinpointer is not actually a pinpointer...is totally wrong.
If you read the Dr. Otek User Manual for the MT6 Pinpointer, it describes how to rebalance the pinpointer on the fly, to get very precise target acquisition.
Here's how it's done.... "While probing with the pinpointer, a target is acquired and the light turns white while the pointer is at maximum vibration. This would be great, except the pointer is not actually touching the target. While the pointer is still vibrating and the led is white, a single press of the power button will recalibrate the pointer. Now, the light will be red or not on at all. As you move closer to the target, the pointer will reacquire and begin to vibrate and display colored light.
All you do is repeat this process, until the pinpointer only shows the white light... when you are actually touching your target. I hope this constructive criticism of your review, will be helpful in future reviews.
Just wanna get the story right Mr. Quarter Hoarder....#KeepProspecting
Hi everyone,😁😁
I am Sarah from Drötek, We much appreciate Jason's real review of our product and your suggestion.
Regarding shortcoming the video mentioned, which may relate to our design concept. 👀👀👀
1.vicinity pinpointer VS pinpointer
As we showed, our pinpointer is 360-degree detection. Maybe that is the reason why our pinpointer could detect in a relatively large range compared with others.
2.no sounds.
On the one hand, The design without sound is for better waterproofing.as you know, MT-6 is fully waterproof to 10 meters underwater. On the other hand, it would avoid disturbing others when metal detecting and the vibration could replace sounds to remind you.
3.battery
Thanks for your feedback, we have upgraded the better battery in Next batch of goods according to our user's request. Hope we could provide user better service and product further.
Thanks for your time to read my letter and welcome to discuss more via sarah@drotekor.com. We are more than happy to hear any suggestion from you guys.
Wish you have a good day
Sarah
I bought your product December 2023 I tried to detect but vibration doesn't work I am very disappointed.
$50 for a machine like that is WAY better than what I have right now. Thanks Jason.
That's about an honest as a review as I've seen. Much respect
its vibration feature makes me happy
Thanks for the review of this pinpointer. For a beginner this looks pretty good.
not bad for 50 bucks... Thanx Quarter for the review
Great, honest review. I will stick to my Garrett Pro Pointer AT. Somethings you can't skimp on 😀
Or get a metal detector AND pinpointer? for $85! On Amazon Prime
Not sure about a pinpointer.....

Thanks for the honest review. I respect you for not caving in on a product that was probably a freebie.
I'm just randomly
Choosing who I make this comment to. I saw your comment and thought you needed the truth. The quarter hoarder got this one wrong. He did not follow through with his research when learning how to operate the Dr. Otek MT-6.
I'll try to keep it short, fact of the matter this pinpointer can be balanced on the Fly while acquiring Target. If the light is white and you are not touching your target yet, then you press the power button lightly one time. This will recalibrate the pinpointer back to a zero state. Now as you get closer to your target it will start its light cycle again. Sometimes you have to do it twice to actually get it to the sensitivity level where the light will only be white when you are actually touching your target.
I recently bought one and have used it many times and have no problems with it.
If they could get that to pinpoint just a little better they would be one heck of a good buy for the money. Thanks for making an excellent and honest review. GL, HH and take care.
Nice job. Thank you for sharing with us. 👊🏻😊👍🏻
hello, I have DR.Ötek Pinpointer MT6, what I want to learn from you is that it sees the metal at 10 CM, its lamps are on, green as it gets closer, red as it gets farther away, but now it does not vibrate, only the lamp is on. Many greetings from Istanbul and thank you Ali
Well done Jason! Very objective review. You did a nice job describing the features but also describing what customers it may be better suited for.
I think they are a little late to the party with that one. There are sub $40 ones that are pulse induction and IP68 with sound now. I don't recommend going cheap on a pinpointer though. Like Digging Canuck says, this is a priority piece of equipment in my opinion, like a good shovel!
I was expecting a water test with swim trunks and goggles.....must have been a little chilly on video day...lol
I have another brand vibrate only pin pointer from 20 years ago. I got used it's characteristics. No light, no buttons or sensitivity adjustments. Just held it straight up to turn it on and it went off after a timeout. Definitely some improvements on this one.
Thanks for the review Jason.
Did you not know about the sensitivity function?
1) Dive in the hole on full sensitivity and find your targets approximate location.
2) While it is vibrating quickly press the on off button to reduce its sensitivity and use that to close in on the exact location.
When you press the button you will find it stops vibrating, that is because you have set the detection radius limit, the four colour distances are now all much closer together than before and you can repeat this if necessary to make them smaller still and close right in on your target.
I use this pin pointer all the time, its great.
My first pinpointer cost me 25.00 on Amazon. I'm glad I upgraded to the Garret carrot!
30 feet underwater would the carrot even find itself
Thanks for the heads up
For someone on a limited income I say yes but for me it's the Carrot. Nice honest review.
i do wish someone would do a side by side comparison of the high end Garrett pinpointers and the
"Son of a gun it floats". Hahaha! That was a fun little review!
Great review. On the strength of it and the price, ($35 USD), I picked one up here in the UK. It works fine on rechargeable bats. You can recalibrate it to be a pinpointer too. Tested it to about 5m/15ft in a lake: no probs. A lot of fun with some interesting finds, ( mainly super corroded Roman, Victorian and C20 coins.) Finds not worth much cash but lots of fun for the price. Many thanks ... good hunting.
It's way better than the one I got have to look into it or get the carrot
That was a fun review video Jason. Hilarious when you threw it in the pool and it didn't sink!!! Great you pointed out the pluses AND the minuses-like the old transistor radio 9V connection, LOL.
BUT....I actually like my pinpointer in sound mode, not vibrate mode, so probably not for me, even as a back-up.
Rob
It does pin point mate.. you have to read the instructions. Its called 'balance' as you get close to target you press the on/off button for 1 second this will Re-balance the distance to the target and the LED's will change colour as well. So it is a pin pointer with a fine tunning 'balance' setting.
Cheers
Edit...
I have one of these it detects up to 8-10cm depending on its orientation and ferrous/non
Eg. 6inch stainless steel ruler flat on desk. Dr Otek horizontally above I raised it to 8cm/3inch before the led went out.
Perhaps with the resistance of soil, the additional air tolerance will mean that it is "pinpoint". Perhaps the ones that pinpoint in the air - will be a little off when they meet the soil... Dr. O may have been set up this way for a reason!
All that you tube sponsor and all them, you get response to advertise and free sample. You should sponsor a give away. And see how many viewer watch. Thanks for the description, the info. Great video. I need one. I would watch, but I do anyway.. waapang
Not bad, but I'll stick to my Garrett Carrot, Since Aquachigger gave it to me! Great video btw!
Love the Garrett's with zlynk but not the 360 degree detection. In my digs I incorporate the whites trx bullseye since it mostly does end point detection. But always looking for improvement for my gear. My latest is the carbon fiber shaft for AT MAX. Check it out, I love it. Thanks for review Jason
Good review Jason. Thanks pal.
they did the same to me about their Mt/xr metal detector! Nice vid bud
I’m trying to find a metal detector or pinpointer than coin alert me when there’s a silver quarter mixed in with about 100 clad quarters when spread out on a table. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks honest review might work for a backup or to have one for a guest. Thanks!
Pretty cool. But i like having the sound
That was the same thing I said about that Pin Pointer. No speaker.
Waterproof to 30 feet , fantastic
Nice review Jason
im on a budget and it looks like it will do the job im going to buy one
Merhaba senden bir ricam var bende bu pointerden var ilk aldığımda titreşim yapıyordu fakat şimdi ne titreşim var nede ses sırf ışıklar var acaba nasıl resetliyelirim yardımcı olursan sevinirim
Hey alot better then the other cheap ones on the market..
For those on a budget👍 think I'll keep the carrot
When I want to know the Truth on stuff I alway choose your reviews Jason. I am just gonna spend the extra money and get a mine lab or Nokta one
I use a stud finder for when I hang framed art for work (interior decorator). Do you think it would work well for that purpose?
I got one of their MT-XR metal detectors last year and have been pretty happy with it but I had a similar experience with the pinpointer as yours and I didn't like it at all.
Can it be retuned (turned on closer to the object making the detection area smaller like most other pointers do)
Just curious...
Yes you recalibrate by touching the on switch
@@InTheWildfootage I realize that....I was just wondering if the pointer in the video acted like the other pointers with that ability.
@@canadianliver yes when you recalibrate closer to an object it shortens the detection distance 😀
Thats probably you cant buy them any more. I had one and it didnt work for very lone. Amazon dont sell them anymore.
would that be good for a beginner with no equipment they could attach that to a broom handle and poke around with it without having to be on there knees
You should replace the battery with a good name brand battery those cheap ones tend to leak. LoL, "vicinity pointer" :D HH!!
Thank you for the review and the heads up. I’ll stick with my Garrett pointer.
Good to see a budget pinpointer that functions “mostly” like the $100+ stuff. Most of the cheap pointers are really awful and there’s nothing in between
Hi do it detect on the tip only or 360 detection ?
good review!
I get mine turned it on late work but will not vibrate
Same
Get we get an updated review after you recalibrate it correctly
Good review for fifty bucks not bad not great but it would do as a back up.
That's hilarious man stupid thing doubles as a flotation device as well. I was gonna buy one of these things on eBay under $40 and I agree brand name premium pps run over $100 we easy ,excluding the Garret pro knockoffs for $35. Great review appreciate the honesty candor. Is it for me? Eh, probably not not a big fan of 360° sidescan , I'm a tip pinpointer user and also I need the audio beep tone to work to alternate between scenarios. Good one though!!
What do you recommend?
@@ViralReality. I would recommend the White's TRX bullseye pinpointer. Never had any issues with that pinpointer ever I've owned quite a number of pinpointers in my almost 20 years of detecting including Garrett Vulcan, MineLab and a number of other little cheapies but I can honestly say that the white's TRX in my opinion has been pretty spot on with deep target detection and very very rare falsing.
Mine isn’t vibrating
Nice review and not a bad price for 50 bucks.
You can get sound in a 6 dollar toy why not charge 6 dollars more and a reasonable battery and sell three times as many. Odd world we live in its very very very easy to ring up sound you can get a toy that can speak nearly the full English language for peanuts. Its a shame but like you said its a good price they will get very cheap in the next couple of years the technology isn't that expensive to produce what is expensive is employing the people to produce it originally but the chinese have a habit of replication things very quickly now. Still don't know who dr. Otek is thought
excelente amigo
Saw this on Amazon. Glad I saw this review! I"ll stick with my Garrett Pro! Thanks!!!
Quarter Hoarder got this one wrong prospector. I have an MT-6, and it does exactly what its supposed to do. Read the manual. It explains how to balance the pinpointer while you're on target. If the light turns white (and max vibration) and you have not touched your target yet, then your balance setting is too sensitive. You need to press the power button one time, and thisbwill decrease the sensitivity of the pinpointer. So now instead of max vibration and a white light,... the Led will be red and barely vibrating or not lit up at all. Now, begin to zero in on your target again, now when the Led is white, the pinpointer will actually be touching the target.
I commented to the quarter hoarder about this. So we'll see if he does a correction
@@goforth1971 Thanks for stating this. They are giving me one to try out to review for my channel and I usually loathe reading instructions and foolishly ignore them. I would have never known about this if you didn't write this. After seeing this video I was not looking forward to giving it a try. Now I am 👍
This must be for def people... It vibrates and has lights, made by a Doctor...
Thanks Jason but no thanks Dr.Otek .I’ll stick with the Garrett carrot ...a pinpointer needs the sound option.
Ok
It doesn't work in salt water.
Too long button depress to turn off is a big negative for me.
i commented just so it would have 69 comments
bonjour
📍DR. OTEX pin pointer good for Prospecting gold nugget please ??
Doesn’t Dr Otek make pizzas?
The name Dr Otek changed to DURAMAXX Powerpoint, what a joke....
Seems kinda pointless really
They sent me a metal detector to review is the worst thing I've ever seen I don't even want to give it to anybody
