If you want a pinpointer that can help you search underwater while metal detecting, you may want to consider the KKmoon 98-foot pulse induction metal detector. I own it myself.
Pinpointers are an invaluable tool for detectorists. They can help us locate our targets way faster than we would be able to using just our metal detectors. Most metal detectorists never go on a hunt without them – especially if they have a limited amount of time and want to find as many targets as possible before having to leave.
What This Pinpointer Can Do
While this detector will work on land, the place where it really shines is in the water. You can take this detector deep, up to 98 feet underwater, which will let you explore and dive to your heart’s content. Just make sure the opening to the battery compartment is screwed on tightly before you plunge yourself into the water.
Because you’ll likely be underwater when you use it, you should know beforehand that it doesn’t use sound to alert you that metal has been found. That means you won’t have worry about getting a set of waterproof headphones and managing to keep them on underwater.
Instead, this detector uses vibration and light to communicate with you. When you feel it vibrating and you see the LED light come on, you know you’ve found something. And the closer you get to your target, the more intense the vibration and white light will become. The nice thing is that the light is pretty bright, so you’ll be able to notice it easily.
This detector comes with a holster that you can wear around, which will help you avoid misplacing it.
Is It Easy to Use?
This pinpointer is simple to use – you just turn it on and off and you’re ready to go. It tunes automatically and doesn’t need adjustments from you to do its job. That’s great for people who want to metal detect but who don’t want to put in the time to learn a complicated machine.
This pinpointer will help you enhance your metal detecting experience and it will help you quickly locate your targets so you can maximize the time you spend underwater.
Because it’s longer than many other pinpointers, you’ll be less likely to lose it underwater. The yellow accents on the pinpointer will make it a lot easier for you to see, which is important if you drop it or set it down while you’re digging. To help secure it to you, if you are prone to dropping things, it does come with a wrist attachment.
It will work well in both colder and warmer waters and it’s lightweight to carry around, weighing in at just over 12 ounces.
How Big is the Coil?
Many pinpointers don’t have a coil on them at all, so the fact that this one has a four-inch search coil is a nice bonus. Although it does have a coil on it, keep in mind it’s a very small one.
Just because it has a search coil doesn’t mean this is a good pick to use as a regular metal detector – you need to remember it is only a pinpointer. It won’t be able to discriminate enough to use as your primary detector and with the size of the search coil being so small, it’d take you forever to do a search anyway.
But when you use it in the water, it’s a good, lightweight and easy-to-carry tool to have with you.
