White's is a frequent and trusted name in metal detecting, but breathtakingly this pinpointer is a very reasonable $100 or so on average. Bounty Hunter Pinpointer A low price tag (around $50) doesn't mean low performance! This pinpointer is small, light and simple to use, and makes it idealisti for beginners or casual hobbyists who don't want or need a ton of bells and whistles. Sensitivity is controlled and adjusted by one knob. The price is right, and the performance is sound. All in all, a good little metal detector pinpointer for basic, casual treasure hunting.
