Last night I was doing a 45-minute hunt right before dark, and while expecting nothing, hit a couple of IHPs in an area that had never yielded coins for me before. First Indians in close to a couple of years; it was pretty dark out before I left. I had today off so of course I headed back to the same spot. When I got there I realized I had no pinpointer. After searching the car I started walking the field and luckily found it by looking; I was getting ready to sweep the field with my detector. I decided I should see what it rang up as for future reference with all the fall leaves on the ground, and to my surprise, with my Nox 600, I got pretty much no response when I passed my coil over my Garrett Carrot. I had to turn off iron discrimination to really get a signal. It might be worth checking yours... my Carrot has a talent for getting lost and that's something that can spoil a good hunt.
What does your pinpointer ring up as??

Knocking on wood here LOL!!! 
I haven't had any issue with leaving my pinpointer laying, but I'm terrible about my hand trowel!!!

I’m using a magnetic coiled tether for my carrot. Works fantastic and never gets in my way. No way you’re leaving it behind that way.

My Garrett Propointer II rings up as a quarter on both my AT Pro and Max.
Where do you buy those? *interested*

This is what I am using only I reconfigured it a bit differently. I attached the lanyard directly to the pinpointer and moved the magnetic catch back to my belt. Magnets are very strong, no way they are pulling apart in the field. When I get home I can pull them apart to clean my pinpointer as needed. Very happy with this setup.

Reason I moved the magnets back to the belt was that another user said they can interfere with the pinpointer if on that end. One less thing to worry about.
