GeoJack Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Facebook ad popped up on my screen, Garrett 1140900 Pro-Pointer AT Waterproof Pinpointing Metal Detector. Got two ordered for $79.78. Wasn't until later I realized it was from China. Product Description: The Garrett Pro Pointer AT Metal Detector is ideal for beginners and turns a day at the beach into a possible treasure hunt. States they ship within 24 hours but I ordered it on the 14th and still not here. Just an FYI for any others that may see the add. I'm sure they will be crap. Bought one for the wife as well.

AllenJ Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Ouch, sorry to hear they got you. That is what they do for a living and they're good at it, I've come close to falling for a few of those pop ups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoJack Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 They offer a money back guarantee and I did use my AMX card on the purchase so I'm good if they turn out to be bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to send them back, you can get the same knock-offs on Amazon for about half the price. I was too cheap to buy Garret pinpointers, but the knockoff I have works OK for coin hunting. It will not register a .2 gram piece of gold, however.... Hope it works out for you. At least it wasn't a phony GPZ! Regards, Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoJack Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 We already have the Harbor Freight ones and they work fine but we craw and bust brush and the little holster and orange color will help with recovery. I'll do a review. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
