New Propointer finds silver first time out!

I arrived home today to find my new Propointer had been delivered.............Just had to get out for a quick hunt to try it out. We went back to a favorite park, on a particular hill that I had been over a few times before but I knew there were a few signals there I had never been able to find. I thought it would be a good test for the Propointer. This particular spot overlooks a sports field and is full of bottle caps and ring pulls so I intended to use the pinpointer to dismiss the finds just under the surface..............I must say, I'm Impressed! We hunted for only an hour or so and unearthed 19 coins I had previously missed, 7 pre decimals (1 silver)  and 12 brown buggas. Add to that 2 keys and an old Tangee brass lipstick case and I think I can say I am entirely satisfied with the Propointer. I just wish I had bought one a year ago instead of my useless Automax!

Here are the pics of the hunt.

    Yeah there a cool tool.
    I even bought a backup in case I have to send one for repair. The directional feature is really useful too.

    Greatest invention for the detectorist since the silver coin.....

    I have only been without mine for less then a week and I miss it greatly. The Bullseye II I'm using is quality pointer but it is nothing compared to the Pro-pointer!

    Stick some electricians tape over the speaker hole - at this time of year it is easy to plop it in a puddle etc and the speaker hole is the only weak link in its water resistance. If you don't it will soon clog up with mud anyway.
