A pinpointer is a proximity metal detector that allows you to locate and find the detected target more quickly. This is a target location aid for all prospectors who are having trouble locating the unearthed target accurately. Pinpointers also make it possible to detect and inspect all places that are usually inaccessible to traditional metal detectors, such as rock faults, walls of a house, etc... Pinpointers are to be distinguished from pointer mode of a metal detector. Although it can also locate the target on the ground, the point mode of a metal detector will be much less precise than a pinpointer!
