Dual Use Metal Detector Pinpointer
This pinpointer switches between detector and pinpointing modes at the push of a button, so one tool covers both the general search and the exact location. Detection distances are published by target: a pin at 30 to 60 mm, a 6-inch knife at 160 mm, a 64-model handgun at 150 mm and a 20 mm diameter steel ball at 90 mm.
