RICOMAX Pinpointer Metal Detector - Accurately Locate Buried Objects, Coins, Relics & More

Matthew Krueger: I purchased this a year ago. I finally got to use it for the first time scuba diving. It is not waterproof. It worked for about 15 minutes into my dive. The light remained on, but it stopped alerting me. I was only ever in about 6 feet of water at the deepest. When I was done with my dive, I raised it up to shut it off. It would not shut off. I got home and opened the battery compartment. The battery compartment with full of water. I disconnected the battery and I hung it up to dry out. I tried it a week later. It still did not work. I am not sure how much tighter I could have sealed the cap, but it clearly isn't waterproof like you would expect. I would look for another option.

Brittany Harrelson: Works great! Great for use with metal detecting! It really saves time in digging! Once you start digging after metal has been detected with you detector,you can hover this around the hole you have dug and around the dirt pile. It saves valuable time so that you are not digging in the wrong spots. It is very easy to use and very accurate! Really good that it has a four year warranty! Well worth the investment!

UK Queenslander: I order this based on the reviews and perceived value. For the price the results have been excellent. It easily locates and pin points items after a general sweep and greatly enhances the ability to quickly locate the find.

Would highly recommend to anyone.

prakash taram: Good pinpointer at given price. Detects small object like ex. small Screws, stepller pin, small iron pieces, silver, gold rings and many metal objects. Gold nuggets not found yet.
Depending on size it detects objects upto 6 inches. the Only thing it is partially submercible in water.

Jai McalpineJai Mcalpine: This pinpointer is a great little thing for how cheap it was it works amazingly and even has a flash light not many cheap ones have and is even partially waterproof at the probe after a bit of use it has already proved in valuable and i'd reccomend to any newcomers to metal detecting

Justeen Crawford: I used this at the beach to hunt for coins, and it worked very well. I had a little trouble with it in wet sand (seemed to alert constantly), but there may have been a lot of iron or other metals naturally occurring there. It found coins and bottle caps really quickly. I like that it shows different signal strengths to let you know when you're closing in on a target. The LED seems nice, but I can't say how that works yet, since it was mid-day.
The holster is a nice accessory - easy to attach to even a wide belt (may work on molle loops, too).

M. Boring: We are putting a fence in so I needed something to help me find buried rebar property line markers. I had found them twice before with a neighbor's help who had a regular metal detector, but I didn't want to bother him a third time to help me find them yet again. I knew about where they were, so I didn't need a regular, expensive metal detector and found this on on Amazon.com. I thought it would be worth a try. I went out today and found the first one very quickly and was able to document where it was for future reference. I also found the rear marker which I had trouble finding the last time I looked. With the pin point metal detector, I found it in less than 2 minutes and it was not where I thought it would be. I am very pleased with this product and how easy and well it worked. Really amazing. This isn't for general detecting, but when you have found a proximity location, this detector will tell you right where the item that you are looking for is.

Patrice NeavesPatrice Neaves: UPDATE: I informed customer service of the problems I was experiencing and they have been nothing but helpful. Always love to see a company that owns up to it's mistakes and doesn't try to just sweep them (and you) under the rug!!

The Good:
-The build quality of this pinpointer is exceptional
-Easy to use, single button operation
-Seems fairly water resistant (good seal on battery compartment
-Comes with belt holster so you feel like Indiana Jones whenever you whip it out

The Bad:
-Very sensitive to the signals put out by my main metal detector. If my main detector is within 5 feet of the pinpointer, the pinpointer will go crazy and register false positives non-stop. It is annoying to have to stop and place my main detector far away from the digging spot or turn it off every time I wish to use the pinpointer. Not sure if this is just something you have to do with all pinpointers no matter what but it's definitely an annoyance with this one.
-Wish it were a little more accurate in terms of the actual pinpointing. It definitely picks up the objects well/is sensitive enough for small things, but often times it's hard to tell if the object is below or...
