Does any one remember this

Someone made this a long while ago and I couldn't help myself and saved the image. For the price of the pin pointer they almost hade enough for a detector but instead made there own

Why you would get a pinpointer before purchasing a detector is beyond me, guess they got sick of crawling around on the ground looking for recent drops.

[rocketaroo]

he prob made that, whilst his atpro was out of action

 

[nuggetino]

or because he wanted improved performance over his atx

I think the person quoted "One uses what one has"

I had a good laugh and tried to be supportive but sometimes there is nothing you can do

Hey for those of us that have trouble bending occasionally I think he's onto something hahaha

A mate borrows my pin pointer and he has glued a piece of rubber to the outside of a gumboot to make a pouch for the pin pointer to go in. The end of the pin pointer just clears the ground. Then he goes for walks in the old goldfields around Mogo NSW south coast. Tried it on some small nuggets in the backyard, worked pretty well for what it is. And who knows what you just walked over.

You could tie a piece of blue tack on a string and drag it behind you may work just as well

The string with the bluetack is for chaining and gridding duck. And I also carry it in the kit bag when out prospecting.

I've found a few nuggets just walkin back to the car with the detector and inch off the ground and the headset around my neck ....... imagine how much gets walked over every day!
