metal detector pinpointer

Listings show two common options: fully submersible units with an IP68 rating (usable to about 10 m) and partially waterproof models rated IP66 when used with the included waterproof bag.

Most pinpointers provide three alert modes: sound (audible alarm), vibration (tactile feedback), or both (sound + vibration), so you can choose audible, tactile, or combined feedback.

Many packages include two 9V batteries and carry accessories such as a belt holster, elastic lanyard, pouch, or a waterproof bag.

Some pinpointers include an LCD screen or clear depth markings that show signal strength and help judge proximity and approximate depth.

As you approach metal, the alarm typically becomes louder and the sound cues clearer, helping you lock onto the target more precisely (many units also increase vibration intensity if vibration is enabled).

Bullet descriptions commonly list an All‑Metal search mode for these handheld pinpointers.
