The Quest XPointer is a splash-proof, rain-proof pulse induction pinpointer built for detectorists who need reliable target recovery without false signals during scraping. Designed for daily field use in parks, relics sites, and beaches, the XPointer features Gorilla tough coil wiring that eliminates false alarms when you scrape through soil or sand. Quest built this pinpointer for detectorists who run metal detectors in high-trash environments where a stable pulse induction circuit outperforms VLF pinpointers prone to ground noise. With its high-frequency operation and automatic calibration, this tool ensures you spend less time digging wide plugs and more time recovering targets. What's Included with the Quest XPointer Quest XPointer Land pinpointer (orange) Woven belt holster with clip Lanyard Protector cap Why Detectorists Working Trashy Sites Reach for the XPointer Pulse Induction Circuitry: Eliminates false signals during aggressive scraping through iron-contaminated soil or wet sand, providing clear audio and physical indicators. RAIT (Ratio Alarm Indication Technology): Increases audio and vibration frequency as the tip closes on the target, allowing you to pinpoint faster in tight holes and small plugs. Molded 3-Inch Ruler: Built right into the side of the probe tip so you can quickly measure coin diameters or ring sizes in the field without carrying a separate tool. High-Visibility LED Flashlight: Illuminates the bottom of deep plugs and dark crevices in low-light conditions, extending your hunting window into dusk and dawn. Faster Target Recovery in High-Trash Park and Relic Sites Trashy Urban Parks with Aluminum and Foil Contamination The XPointer's pulse induction circuit ignores the surrounding ground matrix and focuses entirely on conductive targets. This allows you to recover coins and jewelry from holes filled with pull tabs, rusty nails, and foil without the pinpointer chattering on every scrape. The specialized anti-slip grip piece gives you maximum control when you are digging through compacted clay, hard-packed turf, or root-filled park soil. Audible and vibrating alarms work simultaneously, meaning you can leave your primary detector headphones on and still easily feel the strong target signal directly through thick gloves. Wet Sand and Saltwater Beach Hunting The durable water-resistant construction fully protects the XPointer during daily beach use and damp conditions. You can rinse the pinpointer completely under a faucet after a saltwater hunt without worrying about damaging the buzzer vent or the sealed LED assembly. The pulse induction design stays perfectly stable in highly conductive wet sand where standard VLF pinpointers often false on ground mineralization. Furthermore, the built-in 3-minute standby alert and low-battery warning ensure you do not lose a pinpointer in the surf zone because the unit powered down silently without your knowledge. Relic Sites with Iron Debris Gorilla tough coil wiring withstands the physical abuse of scraping through iron nails, square nails, and rusted hardware at old cellar holes, homesteads, and battlefield sites. The XPointer's automatic microprocessor calibration adjusts sensitivity on the fly, meaning you do not need to manually retune when moving from highly mineralized soil to a gravel layer. The secure woven holster keeps the pinpointer protected and firmly attached to your tool belt or find pouch during long walks between search permissions.
