I resumed using my old Garrett Pro-Pointer which did not have ANY of the above-described flaws, and still serves me very well.

Also, if the target is indicated further than 5 cm from the tip of the pinpointer, there is a risk of accidental damaging the target during recovery. Boasting a sleek and compact design, this high-performance device is not only lightweight but also fully rechargeable with its Lithium Polymer battery.The XP MI6 Pinpointer is equipped with advanced features such as wireless connectivity, allowing it to connect to your metal detector using a radio link (patent pending). After I spent some time trying to follow the instructions on how to switch the LED and VIBRATION off to increase the battery life, and failed to do so a few times, I realized that this was a little bit too much for me.

So, just wanted to weigh in on my thoughts about the MI-6, take em with a grain of salt, just one guys opinion.and now you can use your MI-6 with all that additional reach (if thats what u like) using any of your other detectors. Well, I have been using ONE 9v battery with my Garrett Pro-Pointer for TWO seasons and totally happy with it!

The XP MI-6 Pinpointer is a high-quality handheld metal detecting tool designed to help treasure hunters and metal detectorists locate small and hard-to-find targets in tight spaces.It looks like for stand alone use there are 3 volume levels, but the manual itself does not mention that. If the MI-6 is not radio-connected to the Deus, the battery life is short, 10 hours, when the LED flashlight must be used along with Audio Pitch and Vibrate under challenging detecting conditions involving dim light or darkness and strong ambient noise, or pinpointing targets deep underwater - the Deus detector can not be used at all.

With XP's radio link, you can effortlessly connect the MI-6 to your XP Deus 2, Deus, or ORX metal detector, taking your metal detecting experience to new heights. Anti -Interference system between the MI-6 and the DEUS: The Deus switches to Standby mode when MI-6 is activated and comes back to ON when the MI-6 is switched off. My experience with the XP MI-6 Waterproof Pinpointer has been in some of the most mineralized soils in the USA - Northern, Virginia. If you have another metal detector, treasure hunting system or metal detecting equipment of any sort, and would like to leave a review for it, please do so > > > back to Metal Detector Reviews Directory page.Audio signal can be transmitted directly to the XP Deus metal detector if the pinpointer is paired with the detector (but this pinpointer does NOT function as an in-line probe. Since then, Garrett has released a few subsequent, modified versions of the Pro-Pointer, all of which have become successful and reflected the Garrett adherence to the highest standards in design ergonomics, body build quality and performance.
