Since receiving my Xp pointer I have not used much.
Well this morning I used while on a 1.5 hour hunt.
This reporting here deals with using with elliptical HF coil only, other coil use may bring different results.
First up, this pinpointer was not ready to be released by XP based on use with elliptical coil.
XP should be ashamed of themselves.
I do like the pulse tone selection,,with the ratchet sounding of audio as the pointer near metal.
Now for the bad.
I experienced delays with coil coming back on line ( getting a no coil indication "sometimes" not all when turning pointer off.
I experienced getting a detect screen and even a coil back in the meter,,but no audio,,and after like 30 seconds give or take the audio would start working.
One must be careful when turning off pointer,,,you may sweep right over a good find. Might should sweep the coil near some metal to make sure audio part is working. HF coil runs quiet,,hardly any chirps or anything to tell you it's working correctly.
Now, remember this elliptical coil was released last,,and the other coils the pointer may work better with.
Hopefully Xp can get this all remedied with update in due time.
Remember also pointer does have capability to fly solo of Detector.
I don't think this is the reason anyone would buy it though, but a work around if you can't tolerate the bugs.
I may trying running pointer using the other Deus coils to include round HF coil,,hard for e to though,,I am,loving the elliptical so much.
We'll see though.
Still loving my Garrett propointer.
My warhorse of a pointer.
Cheers
