Best Metal Detecting Pinpointers in 2020

Metal Detecting Doesn’t Stop with a Metal Detector

A pinpointer will make a world of a difference when it comes to digging up your treasure. As a metal detectorist, there are many tools that you should have with you, and a pinpointer is at the top of the list. Imagine using your metal detector, and it alerts you that you found a needle in a haystack. Sure, you can somewhat find the general area where the needle is but using a pinpointer will help you narrow it down to a very small area. When I first started metal detecting, I only had a small shovel and the detector, and my discoveries took much longer to narrow down. Unfortunately, sometimes I had to abandon my search altogether because I just couldn’t find what my detector had discovered. Now that I use a pinpointer, I never leave a hole I’ve dug without recovering an object. It’s that cut and dry.

I’ll break it down for you. You spent X amount of money on your metal detector to recover your treasures, so now take the next step and invest in a pinpointer. If you don’t, you might find what your detector is telling you about, but you could miss out on many opportunities of zeroing in and finding coins, relics, gold, silver, and much more. Pinpointers are similar to detectors but the biggest difference is that the detector has a large coil that helps you find the targeted area deep in the ground while pinpointers will not go deep in the ground, but will find the target less than a centimeter away from the tip of the pinpointer.

There are many good pinpointers out there and you can find tons of information on them by searching on the web. I would like to help you out by “pointing” you (pun intended) in the right direction of what brands and what models are the most popular by sells and customer reviews.

10 Best Gold Metal Detectors in 2020

How Do You Determine Which Gold Detector Will Work For You?

First off, you need to do some research. You need to narrow down which brand and model fits your needs and budget. Using quality gold metal detectors is not necessarily considered a cheap metal detecting hobby. Gold detectors range from $99.00-$7,999.00 and that’s a huge difference from low to high. I’m going to help you narrow it down, starting with the manufacturers that have designed gold detectors. Like I’ve said in other articles, find the brand that you like, all brands have a different look, feel, and function. Doing some research online on YouTube and the manufacturer’s websites will help you to decide which brand suits you.

1. Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors
2. Fisher Labs Metal Detectors
3. Garrett Metal Detectors
4. Minelab Metal Detectors
5. Nokta | Makro
6. Teknetics Metal Detectors
7. Whites Electronics Metal Detectors
8. XP Metal Detectors

All of the brands listed above have gold detectors. Search their websites and YouTube, you can view reviews and see first-hand what others are saying about the manufacturers, and what models are more commonly used and desired.

What Should I Do Next?

I would also like to bring up something that you may not have thought of yet. Some people metal detect for fun and a hobby, which means they love getting out and enjoy finding their treasures and displaying them off to their family and friends. Some metal detectorists use their detectors to make a profit with their finds. Gold, we all know is very valuable and can be worth your time if you make a discovery. I would suggest keeping that in mind. Are you into it for the sport or are you considering creating a profit from time to time? If you are considering turning a profit, I would like to mention that you should look at this purchase as an investment and the rule of thumb is, the more expensive, the better the detector. (I know I know, not everyone agrees that the more you spend, the better the product) but here’s my opinion when it comes to this topic, “When you spend more money on gold detectors you get better search coils, the detector climbs the ladder of more top gear status, and the functions/options increase with the higher quality detector. All of this equals more efficient gold found, and better use of your time.”

The Top 10 gold detectors aren’t in order of best of the 10, only you can pick what is the best and whatever you pick will be the best for you. All I can do is point you in the right direction and try to take some of the guesswork out of the equation. The top 10 of 2020 are…

GLOBAL DISCOVERIES

Egypt: Pharaoh Ramesses Body Survived Largely Intact

“EGYPT archaeologists discovered the body of a pharaoh “largely intact” during an excavation near the famous Valley of the Kings.” “Ramses II was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty in Egypt. Often regarded as one of the greatest and most celebrated rulers of the New Kingdom, he led several military expeditions into surrounding countries to strengthen the empire. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings, near the west bank of the Nile, but this is not where his body was found.”

How cool is that? There are new discoveries being made every day that prove there is so much lost history still uncovered around the world. We don’t have to go to Egypt to find something, we just need to get out there and look for clues in our own backyards.

The Best Treasure You’ll Ever Find

The Ultimate Adventure

The Treasures in America’s team has dedicated the last 20 years of their lives to adventure. Some of them, like Timothy Draper (Founder of Treasures in America), have spent most of their adult lives outdoors exploring everywhere they can reach. Treasures in America (TIA) have inspired many people along the way but it’s time to step it up a notch. It’s time to take secrets out of treasure hunting and start working with many people that want to be involved.

Like Timothy said in this video, “I’m going to do something that other treasure hunters haven’t done. Put trust in people.” Because TIA has so many sites of lost riches and history, we hope by sharing our adventure and teaching others, that many will follow, and many will succeed in not only discovering a passion but find their adventure as well. Watch this inspiring and exciting video and learn who we are and what we do.
