    Dimeman's Pin Pointer Comparisons - Thanks Robbie!

    I just wanted to call attention to all the effort Dimeman has put into some great objective comparisons of various pin pointers and their capabilities. You will find them in the associated brands areas when applicable. Thanks Robbie! This is great information and very helpful to those seeking a pin pointing solution for their metal detecting needs! Great job.

    Yes, very nice job thumbsup01 (it might make sense to move them to the accessories/pinpointer section so they are all in one place).

    Watched those vids on youtube, before I joined the best forum for tector users, they were the reason I opted for a Garrett pro-pointer.
    So much help in one place,

    Thanks all.
