[QUOTE="Digger58, post: 533227, member: 17058"] Fair enough. I bought mine as I want to pan and hike fair distances and I don't want to carry a bloody big detector as well as everything else. With a pin-pointer, I can check crevices, and also do a check on the material I cast aside in the process when classifying. With a detector, I want to double-check if the target is ferrous or not to save time wasted digging. So first check is by the targets noise, discriminated by ear or machine, and then confirmation with pinpointer because I have read reports it is brilliant at discrimination. I will do this as I hear and read many times that people leave targets if they suspect rubbish and don't believe in digging every signal. In addition, I have seen so many videos of people struggling to find the target quickly by hand or scoop, so that is a time-saver right there with a pinpointer. If anyone thinks they are an expert without a pinpointer then fine, stay with what you do. For newbies and those with a disability of some kind, then if a pinpointer will make life a bit easier then what's wrong with that? Until I feel I don't need it I will continue to have it with me every trip. :) :Y: [/QUOTE]
