.

•

New processor for faster and greater resolution then previous models.

•

•

32 times higher resolution then standard Pin Pointer Pro.

•

•

New handle design with compass for easier directional orientation.

•

•

Greater detection and ground balance ability in heavy mineralized
conditions.

•

•

3-D software technology for greatest shape, size and depth detection of
any targets or anomalies.

•

•

Light weight and compact for easy carrying.

•

No matter the ground conditions, heavy bushes, rocks, downed tree’s you
can easily work with and around many objects in your scanning path
giving you much greater ability to located valid and valued targets.

•

Designed to detect Ferrous and Non- Ferrous metals as well as anomalies,
this will provide the detection ability you require.

•

Fallow a grid pattern scan for greatest detection ability and highest
resolution
