[QUOTE="Gizmo, post: 426404, member: 10442"] We get what we pay for if its cheap. That said I started a year ago with a $60 jaycar pinpointer. I still have it and it works fine But... it drives my CTX crazy and I have to place the CTX coil 2m away to not interfere with each other while checking the hole. It says its water proof - its not. The power switch started playing up after 6 months of heavy use but Jaycar replaced unit under warranty. It doesnt have sensitivity control which isn't usually a problem except when you dig a narrow hole and cant tell which side the target is on. It eats 9V batteries every 2 weeks of use... So it is acceptable for surface coin shooting in dry conditions on occasion if you dont mind dropping into Jaycar for a replacement unit every so often.... it is my backup unit now that I have found enough loot to buy a "professional " unit for $180.
