- In this short video I show how to ground balance a pin pointer. If you have experienced a Garrett Pro-Pointer, or perhaps any pin pointer, that gives false signals in highly mineralized ground, this is the answer to your problems.

Thank you for this short tutorial. I had no idea that you could ground balance a pinpointer! I figured it was just something you had to deal with from time to time and solved it by scaling the sensitivity down. Level 4 on the Makro pointer was almost useless. Thank you! As always, great info.
As always, a great educational video! I must say I love your channel man! Good stuff!
Nice job Beau. Took me a month to figure it out when I first got mine. Would have saved me a bit of frustration if I saw a video like this earlier. Way to help out the community.
And with this video you have become my favorite youtube metal detectorist. I always wondered why my pin pointer sucked.
Thank you! I thought my pointer was broken and I just bought it. Life saver! About to go on my first group dig tomorrow, thank you!
I always appreciate your valuable info on metal detectors! Thanks... I have had this problem lately... too eager to turn on the pro-pointer!
Exactly the problem I have. My soil is clay and I have a lot of iron ore rock in my area. This is the first tutorial that explains this, Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Went out today and followed your instructions, problem solved, thanks again!
Awesome. I had looked at the manual.. long time ago.. thank you for the refresher ! Video is better any day !
Found your channel 2 days ago:) Love your videos you really wanna make me go out look for some treasure. Keep up the good work !!!
I'm falling in love with my Propointer AT. Take care Aquachigger.
You are always sharing your knowledge. Thank you, Beau.
That info was much needed. Thanks!
WOW!!!!!! Damn, Now thats the best 2 min video I have ever seen on the Garrett Pin Pointer. I dont even think they have instructions enclosed in the box on how to "Ground Balance" the pin pointer. Thank you so much!!!! You did this video quick and to the point. good job!!! I subscribed to your videos. Thanks again!!!!
Always grateful for your generous pointers
Thanks for this video. I did not know about this. I just started in the hobby this year. Thanks for the tip
Just got my orange carrot in the mail today with a Garrett product catalog. Pretty cool that you got your picture in there!
so simple..and yes..i didn't know you could even ground balance it..thx!
Right to the point! Excellent info and great explanation,well done sir. 🙏
That is some great information , i never did that before , now i do it all the time , much faster at finding the object , thanks Mike Espo.
nice for sharing this usefull info Beau !
Thanks to you Beau, I made my purchase of a Garrett AT Pro and Garrett Pin Pointer AT! I have watched your vids and they teach a lot and thanks for that too! I've done quite a bit of detecting in the past but with other machines like a Bounty Hunter and Whites so all is new again! Back to the excitement! 73 Rod KB8DNS
That's a cool tip, I never knew a pin pointer would need to be or could be ground balanced. Thanks Beau.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us
Dang, I didnt know you could do that!! Im gonna try it on my next hunt! thanks.
Good Tip Beau..................... thank you, I ran into this issue once before in Maryland
SUPER AWESOME! Thank you for the info! Be safe!
OMFG YOU SAVED ME FROM A WORLD OF HUMILIATION. Went out detecting today and carrot was going crazy but when i would put it on wood fine back towardsw dirt went absolutely nuts. I thought I had broken it maybe and was about to send it off to get repaired but not I know to ground balance it and I can then use it as normal. I have always had issues at that park but today especially it was impossible to use my pin pointer. Thanks for the tip you really saved my butt thanks!!!!
I've used mine for over a year and didn't no this you my friend just helped me out a bunch that's a bunch
Just got me one today. Thanks chigg
Hello beau, Thank you very much for this short vidéo. I'm going to try this now with Garrett Pro Pointer. Loving a lot of your vidéos thank you for that. So sorry for my English i'm from France and searching like you some relics, coins and other finds.
happy hunting to you.
Bye Chris.
Thanks for the tip. It is always appreciated.
I have the ProPointer At,too. I Love this thing. The old was the best. Now the New is much better as the old.
This is very good info! Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I just got my first pin pointer (not a Garrett) but was having this very issue when I took it out for the first time yesterday.
excellent tip Beau! a lot folks will auto balance detector, but forget about the pin pointer-great reminder, ty-Lisa
Only went yesterday and then found this video perfect 🥰
Cheers just getting in to the hobby and that's a good tip to know. Thanks
Loved the video, great info. thanks,
Thank you great information as always. 😊
That's how I do it! I see lots of folks just turning it on and not ground balancing it. Did you see the link I put up again? I did it after you had asked me about it, in my reply. Thanks again! I hope you're as proud when you see the wrap l up I'm uploading right now!
Thanks Beau, drove me crazy this weekend on some creek hunts. Swaped batteries but no help. Looking foward to balance cure next time it goes nuts!
Nice vid!! loads of prospectors don't know this!
I never knew that about the pinpointer. Thanks for the tip sir👍
GREAT VIDEO KENNY
As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
Love all your "how to" vids................keep em coming!
Seconded!
Nice tip Beau thank you
I'm sure this will come in handy. Gonna say thanks in advance for that lesson
Good to know. Can you just put it to tje flat ground becore digging? Also, how do you balance it underwater?
Nice video Beau,Direct and to the pointer lol.
Very helpful, thank you.
Thanks for the propointer tip! I also didn't know you could do that.
yours videos are awesome. thanks
I'm new to metal detecting my first detector is a garret ace 400i how do I ground ballance it. Do I just switch it on touching the floor. Should I do this every time I use it even in good soil.
very good Beau thanks
Awesome info Beau, I just ordered a AT pro kit Monday that includes a "Garrett carrot" LOL I loved that line!!! But seriously this will save me big headaches on my first outing with it and possibly make for more successful finds!! P.S. I love all your videos I've watched, you're the best in the game!!!!
Great POINTER! Get It!! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the awsome lession Beau! Its to sad i dont have a Garrett due. :p
Thank you for the tip!
Mine leaked after first major submersion in running creek. Wouldn't stop sounding off even after drying out. Even after turning on with metal touching end, like what you do here. It lost sensitivity and when it does sound off on target it won't stop even after moving it away. I'll turn off, and when I turn on it still beeps. Testing battery will be next but what can I do about waterproof failure except return it??
You cleared up my question on what happens after you ground balance the pointer, when you put it next to the bullet and it went off. Other sites did not show that. I thought you had to go through another step to make it sensitive in order to make it buzz again. Thanks.
Hi Beau
Thank you, I did not you needed to ground balance, the new Garrett pin pointer.
What about retune option? ON and fast button press for retune...?
Thank you for this cool tip
WOw i have this problem in Norway really whose make me nuts , thank you !
Thanks for sharing Beau, does it work that way with all pin pointers?
That's cool, and sooo easy! Glad for the demo, because I did not know what you meant when you mentioned ground balancing on occasion before.
I have to say you gave me a chuckle though. I misheard Garrett as Carrot. And given the shape & colour... It made me laugh. (It may seem funnier to me right now due to strong painkillers.)
That explained a lot, my PP has been acting up, I use it once in a hole then it just keeps sounding off, I was thing the battery was bad, but that was just put in 2 weeks ago.
thank you that kept happening to me today and now I know why it keeps doing that thank you for the hint
a tip thats simple but effective. happy diggin!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT LESSON NO WONDER I'VE CUSSING THIS CARROT SAY ITS A PIECE OF CRAP... NOW I KNOW BETTER. THANKS AGAIN.
A great Tip my brother....
OMG . Thanks for the tip.
Saw a vid once and the guy overseas somewhere balanced his pinpointer to his detector shaft or to his shovel before going in for the find. I'm new to this and didn't understand that action one bit. Can you explain it please?
Great tip thanks.
Good job Beau - I, too, didn't realize that was such a mystery. How did you do at the JGD hunt? Any videos coming on that? I was there for a day and a half - found a few things.
Thank you soo much 😻😻😻
Good to know !! Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the been tip MD since 1975 never used pp before this year
Thanks, never knew that. I better read the manual!
Thank you for that info
Thanks for the tip.
Good vid!
Awesome! Thank you
Nice one mate Ann
Great tip Beau (or whoever you are, ya' clean shaven imposter! ) I've got to do this regularily on the banks of the Fraser river. Were near the mouth where the water is brackish, so any clay or sand will trip it out, or any that sticks to the pointer, as you're scanning around the hole... it just goes crazy even lifting it out of it. I'll click it on and off, and it runs fine....at least till more stuff collects on it, then I either click it on and off again, or wipe it off.
Just out of curiosity,What kind of cord set up are you using as a Lanyard with your Garrett Carrot? Thanks Beau.
Thank you! Its good to know
same as the TRX. good video
thank you
very cool video. my pro pointer AT arrives today so learning to use it before it gets here. take it on a dig as soon as it arrives. thanks for posting. how long have you found the battery lasts?
Thank you soooooo much !
Great to know..thanks
@Aquachigger You can also quickly press the power button while holding it to the ground. Does the same job.
