    Re: Need help with probe/pinpointers

    The Pistol Probe is supposed to go a little deeper than the Pro Pointer----but one of my buddies has one and while out detecting in a park, someone called in to the police and told them someone had a gun in the park. The Pistol Probe does have a similar shape to a gun.

    Oh and my buddy had to explain to the officer and very gentlely slowly showed the officer the pinpointer--while being drawn upon by the officer who told him to put the weapon on the ground.


    So you can take that into consideration.

    It really is a dumb design What genius said let's make it look like a gun so any of them detectorists can take it to a school or park and look cool rofl One of these days it's gonna get someone killed and then the lawyers will be out
