wow kev thanks for answering my question! I've had this thing for two years and did not know how to set it lol. I use it so much, I wore a hole right through the outer shell. they have great customer service, I sent it in and they sent me a brand new one. All I had to pay for with shipping. now I keep a rubber sleeve on it that I bought off eBay. also I keep it on a retractable keychain so that I can retract it and let go and it stays on my belt. thanks again and happy hunting.
One of the most important functions was missed here. Once you've hit a target, you can press the on/off button to decrease the sensitivity. The more times you press, the more the sensitivity will decrease, until you will get no signal unless the end of the pointer is basically touching your target. This is completely independent of the three setting sensitivity that can be selected by holding the power button in.
Every TH-cam instructional video should be like this. It was logical and explanations were simple. Good job, sir! Anyone who owns a Garrett Carrot should watch this video.
The video provided valuable and insightful information, which greatly assisted me in my understanding of the topic. I express my gratitude for the assistance it has provided.
That de tuning also works when you are trying to find your target in a hole you have dug. You take your pin pointer away from the hole ,touch it to the ground and then turn it on. Then your pin pointer will be sensitive only from the tip, not its entire length, and will not signal on the soil surrounding your target, and only your target or a metal object that's in the hole with your target.
Can u suggest me where to buy an original one ? I bought one in Indonesia but it sucks, fake one, I want to order online shop maybe, any recommendation pls ? Thanks 1
I have had mine since they first came out.I dont remember any instruction papers with it. I thought it was either broken or junk compared to the original black pinpointer. It was free with my minelab detector.Glad I found this video.
HAY KEN,HOPE I'M NOT TOO LATE TEXING YOU THIS MESSAGE (6-21-22) THE BLACK PRO POINTER 2 IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE OTHER ONE, PRO POINTER,ORANGE.THE BLACK ONE IS WATER RESISTANCE AND THE ORANGE ONE IS WATER PROOF IN FRESH AND SALTWATER AND CAN GO DOWN TO 20 FEET DEEP.NOW MAYBE YOU DON'T PLAN ON GOING SCUBA DIVING BUT IF YOU DO,AND I PLAN ON DOING SOME SILVER AND GOLD HUNTING WITH MY GARRETT AT MAX IN SALT WATER, USUALLY WHEN I BUY THING'S I SHOP AROUND,GET THING'S ON SALE LIKE MY GARRETT AT MAX WITH ALOT OF ACCESSORIES AND SOME WERE "FREE"BUT FOR ME I ALWAYS GO FOR TOP OF THE LINE,2ND ,YA,IT DEPENDS BUT I SHOP AROUND. MY AT MAX WAS ON SALE FOR,$759.95 AND A TON OF ACCESSORIES,GOT IT FROM DETECTOR WAREHOUSE NEAR DALLAS, TEXAS.,GOT IT IN 4 DAY'S.
Thank you...thank you, thank you. Finally a video on these settings that I can understand. I have been struggling with mine for awhile, my son was helping me and put it to the lowest sensitivity, and I couldn't get it back. I was starting to think it was defective.

A short but insightful video that helps me a lot. I've just got my new AT PRO POINTER and wasn't too sure how to work it properly. I followed each step with you and found it easy to manage. Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial.
ANOTHER HELPFUL THING YOU MIGHT DO IS READ THE DIRECTION'S THAT CAME WITH THE PRO POINTER, THAT'S WHAT I DID THEN ALMOST A WEEK LATER I WATCHED THE VIDEO WITCHED I LIKED BETTER, ACTUALLY I LIKED BOTH BUT I'VE ALWAY'S LEARNED ALOT BETTER BY WATCHING SOMEONE SO THE VIDEO IS EXCELLENT 👌👍!!!
Just bought me the Garrett Ace 200 metal detector and having trouble finding my target when I did, it would usually be 2 or 3 in off to the left or right when I started digging and I just ordered this pinpointer and hopefully it will save me a lot of digging and help me find my target a lot easier.
@@Robinson-Homestead you're very welcome and I also subscribed. The reason I got back into metal detecting is because that's what my dad always love to do in the late 1960s and early 70s and he would always take me with him and it brought back memories when I seen these ads he had opened up his own metal detecting business but got sick of cancer and passed away in 1979 and I'm doing this in honor of him
I am so sorry my friend the only thing we can do is move on and live every day like it's are last. I lost my dad to only time helped me. Good luck and have fun.
Great video, very informative. I didn't know about the way to set it so it won't pick up the false alarm rocks, that's going to come in handy. Thanks for sharing Kevin, and happy hunting.
You can also do an on the fly calibration by just holding the pp to the object and just quickly tap the button once and it will do the same as you turning it off and on. Just so you know. Great vid.
Owner of 3 Garrett carrots. All have been sent in for repair. Two have gone twice. Little use and no abuse. Product seems to have a falsing issue and their repair department is poor. That's my experience.
WOW!!!! Thats an awesome video. So if your looking for coins in a grassy park area its probably good to set it on the first setting eh???? Thanks for sharing your video.
Thanks for this I went today mine was set to high soon as I put it in the hole it was goin off. Now I've turned it down low should go off 2 inches away from the target. Lookin forward to goin Tommorrow now. Cheers.
@@Robinson-Homestead just one more question I bought a duracell battery but there's a few different duracell ones mine went flat really quickly which one do you use. Or does it matter. Might sound a silly question really.
Great video thank you so much just got this still waiting for it in the mail along with the Garrett AT Max was not aware of all the settings it had and very well explained once again great video
Beware of the Chinese counterfeits. Like a fool, I was suckered into the lower price one. It has GARRETT printed on the side and is orange. It should say Made in USA. Luckily, Ebay said I would be refunded, but who knows.
@@Robinson-Homestead yes I did but I finally read the instructions again and this time it worked. I was finally able to change it from vibrate to verb then off. Thanks 😊
Careful. Garrett AT is offered by 'Alibaba' for 1/2 of US price. It is most definitely a China made bogus copy. Buyer beware. The GP's [China made Garrett copies] are very sensitive and go 'hyper' after a relatively short time of use. Internal logic 'chips' are likely of lesser quality 2nds or rejects. Any international shipping Pinpointer is most definitely Not a true, made in USA Garrett the very best.

You can use a paper clip and black plastic tape for fine tuning or calibrating.
Thanks for the comment.

Ciao comprato anche io uno uguale , funziona molto bene ottimo acquisto
Hi I also bought an equal one, it works very well good buying
Great video!
Thank you.
How I reset at the normal?
Watch the video I show you how to do it.
Can you set it to not pick up shell casings?
You can but it may not pick up coins shell casings some are made of brass if they are steel you will be ok thanks for the comment Louie
Why does mine beep and vibrate at the same time
I personally find it better on silent 2 ❤
Cool thanks for watching.
Mine won’t stop vibrating even after I take it out of set up
Take your battery out and start all over.
@@Robinson-Homestead yes thank you switched to energizer works perfect now
Garrett calls it ground balancing your pointer
Thanks for info.
Good video. Only problem is hard to hear with the beeping going so loud on the pin pointer and it drowns out your voice.
Sorry Gary thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.
Mine is stuck on vibrate and tried all these steps nothing worked 😪💦
Did you try taking the batteries out for a while?
@@Robinson-Homestead yes I did but I finally read the instructions again and this time it worked. I was finally able to change it from vibrate to verb then off. Thanks 😊
