Product Information

If you’re out metal detecting and miss placed your pin pointer you can use your controller and find the pin pointer even if it’s off. I decided that it was something to do with the state of MI6 battery charge or, more likely, EMI 'tripping up' the signals used to do the 'handshake' between the two bit of gear.

I can pop the remote of the XP into my top shirt pocket and hunt with the Vaq but use the MI-6 with its remote to help find those deeper items etc. Because the latter will lead to spending more time looking for the target in focus as there may be other targets nearby, and they will be also detected. When synced You turn on the pin pointer it shuts off the metal detector coil and there is no interference.

This inconvenience is due to unfit shape and thickness of the handle section which is tapered from 1. This is why the user has to charge the battery more frequently than necessary just to be on a safe side, in addition to regular charging of the Deus coil, remote controller and headphones. The XP MI-6 Pinpointer, crafted by XP Metal Detectors, is undeniably one of the most exceptional and cutting-edge metal detecting pinpointers ever created. And some MI-6 users complain that the MI-6 produces a recurring sound, like beeping, which would not stop even after a user pulls the MI-6 away from the target. 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.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. As I tested the MI-6 being not paired to my Deus, my review is more about the MI-6 as a usual probe, and the MI-4 which does not have a wireless module. Sometimes I get through a whole day and it's flawless - other times I end up having to go onto Prog. I like having a rechargeable battery, although it has a unique plug, the end cap needs to be removed to recharge, and is VERY hard to unthread sometimes.

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.Users of the paired MI-6 can also enjoy a lost pinpointer alarm however, the maximum distance for locating the lost pinpointer is 40 percent less if a tip of the MI6 is pointed away from the remote controller. As we have come to expect from XP, this is another well thought out product and has many useful features that have been added to the 'pinpointer wish list' over the years.

Sometimes the WS5 headphones stop communicating with the remote controller after the paired MI-6 pinpointer is used. The MI-6 and MI-4 are not only submersible up to 20 feet 6 meters, but also can float on the water surface.

Prior to testing the XP MI-6 pinpointer, for years I had been an avid user of a legendary Garrett ProPointer with which Garrett set a new standard for a professional, simple, reliable and affordable device in the electronic pinpointer industry back in 2008. This resulted in the MI-6 staying on for extra 5 minutes and losing some battery charge every time I did not press the button right. With the MI-6, I often followed my old habit and did not press and HOLD the power button long enough to turn it off. To avoid this, the user of the MI-4 or the unpaired MI-6 must develop a habit of placing the Deus away from the target hole before turning the MI-6 or the MI-4 on for target pinpointing. 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.
