Garrett Pro Pointer II

The Garrett Pro-Pointer II is a solid choice for metal detectorists who seek reliability and efficiency in their equipment. As part of the renowned Garrett range, it shares the brand’s commitment to quality, albeit with a simpler feature set compared to its sibling, the Pro-Pointer AT. 

The device’s single sensitivity setting is straightforward and sufficient for general metal detecting tasks, though it lacks the flexibility of the AT’s three settings. While not fully waterproof, the splash-proof design of the Pro-Pointer II makes it suitable for light outdoor use, though it falls short for those interested in underwater or heavily waterlogged environments. The black exterior, while sleek, may be a disadvantage in terms of visibility if the device is dropped or misplaced during fieldwork. Priced at £117.95, it is a more affordable option, making it an attractive choice for detectorists with tighter budgets. 

Despite its limitations, the Pro-Pointer II is a dependable pinpointer that delivers on the essential needs of metal detecting. However, in our opinion, the Pro-Pointer AT represents a better investment. Despite its higher price tag, with its enhanced features and better overall performance, it still offers great value for money. Both are great pieces of kit though, and come highly recommended for those looking to upgrade their metal detecting experience with a reliable, durable pinpointer.
