Garrett PRO-POINTER

Congratulations on your selection of the GarrettPRO-POINTER Metal Detector. The Garrett PRO-POINTER is a hand-held metal detector designed toprecisely pinpoint metallic (ferrous and nonferrous)objectsduringtreasurerecovery. The PRO-POINTER is intended for use inconjunction with a ground search metal detector toaid in the recovery of metallic targets. The GarrettPRO-POINTERhasbothaudibleandvibratingalarmsto indicate thepresenceofmetalobjects.Thealarmsincrease in intensity as thePRO-POINTER ismovedcloser to the metal target. With a pinpointing tip plusa scraping blade with side-scan capability, the PRO-POINTERisveryeffectiveineasilydetectingeventhesmallestofmetallicobjects.AnLEDflashlightassistsindarkandlowlightconditions. The PRO-POINTER has an IP 66 standardwaterproofrating,fullyprotectingitfromtheenvironmentand allowing it to be washed under running water oroperatedintherain.ThePRO-POINTER'sdurability—based on MIL STD 810 F—will provide years ofreliable operation even in rugged environments.

Basic recovery Method: Once you havelocatedatargetwithyourgroundsearchmetaldetector,dig the recovery hole or remove the plug of earth.

You should then use the Garrett PRO-POINTER topreciselylocateyourmetallictarget. First,scanovertheearthplugordirtpiletoseeifyourtargethasalreadybeenunearthedinthesoilyouremoved or turned over. If the PRO-POINTER doesnot signal a target, you should next scan inside thehole,pointingthetipofthePRO-POINTERtowardthesidewallsofthehole.AsyoumovethetipofthePRO-POINTER closer to the target object, the detector'svibrationsandaudiblebeepswillsteadilyincrease.

If you do not receive a response from inside thehole or the soil/plug that was removed, the object islikelydeeper in thegroundordeep inside theplug—beyond pinpointing range. Sweep with your groundsearchdetectoragaintoconfirmwheretheobjectis.

If the target is located at or near the bottom ofthe hole, the PRO-POINTER's response will steadilyincrease as it is lowered into the hole, reachingmaximum response at the bottom.

Pinpointing Large Objects:Whenlocatinglarge metal objects—whether in the ground or in awall—you can improve the pinpointing capability by"detuning" thePRO-POINTER inorder tonarrow thedetectionfield,asfollows. Slowlyscantowardstheobjectuntilthedetector'sresponse increases to the full/constant alarm. Then,withoutmovingthedetector,switchthepoweroffandthen back on again in order to cancel out the targetandnarrowthedetectionfield.Nowcontinuescanningtowardstheobjecttofinditspreciselocation.Repeatthepoweroff/oncycle to furthernarrowthedetectionfieldasneeded. Afteryouhave finished,youcanreturn thePRO-POINTER to its normal detection field by simplyswitching the power off and back on while holding itawayfromallmetal.
