Nokta Accupoint Garrett Pro-Pointer AT - Pinpointer review and In Depth Comparison - 🍌 vs 🥕

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- Nokta announced today, 10/12/2023 that they immediately released us beta testers from the NDA we were bound to during the BETA TEST of these unreleased new Accupoint Pinpointers.
Per their livestream, public availability and retail price is supposed to be announced on their website as of tomorrow, 10/13/2023.
We have been long time metal detecting enthusiasts and loved our Garrett AT Pro-Pointers, which are lovingly referred to as the "Garrett Carrot" due to their appearance. Nokta shipped us the Beta Test version of the Nokta Accupoint which is lovingly being referred to as the "Nokta Banana" due to it's appearance.
In this video I go over the differences between both pinpointers, as well as the new functions and options now available for the Accupoint. A few depth tests via "air tests" with common coins and other larger metal objects.
We hope you enjoy the video and recommend picking up one of these Nokta Accupoint Pinpointers for your metal detecting and treasure hunting gear collection.

Felicitaciones por la nueva adquisición 🎉... Excelente accuPoint 😁, tengo uno igual te copie 😂,. Abrazo grande desde rosario Santa Fe Argentina 🤜🤛😁🍀
Absolutely fantastic piece of kit. So glad that I jumped on it when the Beta announcement was made.
The flashlight is great when searching in murky water, super bright.
You and me both!
Great info, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice demo! Only thing I wish is you would have pinpointed the quarter flat instead of on each edge.
Very good video....thanks..!!
Nice overview. I got the Accupoint on Tuesday, but haven't had a chance to use it yet due to work and bad weather. I think now I'm almost totally up to speed after your video, thanks
It's a fantastic pointer. I especially love that it works with my WHP.
nice little gadgets. Question for you. How small of a metal object can these and normal detectors pick up?
As far as size, we can find really really small metallic objects. Things like a piece of thin aluminum foil, down to like 1-2mm. Even just the tiny back to an earring. A good detector like the Minelab Equinox will let you dial sensitivity as high or low as you want it, and once you start understanding the signals you can usually tell without digging if it is a common junk target like a removed pulltab from an aluminum can. The detector can find items regularly anywhere between the surface and 10-15" deep. The pinpointers will help you track the exact location as it beeps faster the closer you get to the target, and sensitivity can be adjusted on them as well. We started this as a curious hobby and have been thoroughly impressed on how well they work in bringing you to things other people can't see and have no idea they are down there. Coins, Jewelry of all types of values, old relics from the 1800s, these machines will give you access to these hidden items millions of people just walk past while being oblivious to having them right below their feet.
@@UndergroundMetalDetecting Nice. I am in Alaska and was curious if it could detect gold in a rock or something like that. I pan and do find some stuff. but would love to find a nugget. lol
thorough review, nice
im sticking with garrett at pro
Good pinpointer, just cost us more than a new Accupoint in replacement 9v batteries in 5 months for 2 Garrett's. Now no more replacing batteries!
Have a simplex ultra and the nokta accupointer on the way !! Can’t waitttt
Nokta like 💯⭐
Deff should of tested the same way you did the edge side for the flat side.
Will you test small pieces of gum wrapper foil. My garret out of all my garret pointer will pick it up and my others won't.
A big pain when the detector picks up the foil and the pointer wont.
Great test!
We will be featuring the Accupoint in all future hunts. I'll keep both pinpointers on my dig belt so I can verify for both of them on tiny targets. I am liking that it appears that only the tip of the Accupoint is hot compared to the sides of the Pro-Pointer, so any difficult direction holes I will compare as well to see if one functions better than the other in the field.
I edited my post so it's easy to understand, my typing was terrible last night.
Thanks for the update, I'll deff be watching
Hmm. Im interested for sure. Im a Garrett guy myself but i like trying out new metal detecting tech. Thanks for sharing. Great job.
Thanks for watching!
Think I'll stick with my Fisher F Pulse. My MD has an iron tone too, so no need of a pointer with one. The Nokta 'Yellow Pearl' looks the part though.
Happy new year ▶️ time 😊
I like my accupointer I think the weak spot is the display screen I'm not sure how long that screen will last without being scratched up I mean I have it covered in mud sometimes one thing for sure my Garrett Garrett is in my backpack and not far from reach but so far the Accu pointer been great
The screen comes with a screen protector already installed
There are a lot of pinpoints out there, this one looks pretty good an affordable that's always a plus thanks for the great review.
Nice review 👊
Are you going to show the pointer working with bluetooth headphons and a bluetooth metal detector if you have one to see if you turn on the pointer if the metal detector stops and the pointer take priority and when the pointer is switched of the metal detector takes priority
We run the Equinox 800 and Xterra Pro, good idea for the next experiment to see if they will pair with the ML85 headphones! 🎧
a great review. have a normal nokta pp, & had 9v battery die on me yesterday. Went to van to get anothe battery.....that was dead too🤦luckily shops werent far away. The C type plug will do away with that
I’m not getting that bit. Surely if you go out of charge with this you are in a poorer situation than having to locate a battery?
@@stemakwest7165 can charge it in car
show amigo
Hey Cody
Thanks for the review I’ve been waiting to see reviews on this and you are the first I’ve come across. I have to say I don’t think I’ll be ditching my carrot just yet! One very simple reason is the one touch sensitivity change with the Garrett compared to having to scroll through a menu to change sensitivity on the acupoint, it seems cumbersome. That’s my honest opinion from what I’ve seen here. As for depth there doesn’t seem to be much difference but I guess the real test will only be in the soil on real targets. The battery is definitely a plus however I can’t say that keeping a spare battery has been a problem for me but forgetting to charge the thing the night before is something I could do! 😂
Of course like with every machine once you get used to it it’s not a problem. I’ll be watching with interest how you find it after using it for a while. Thanks again. Happy hunting from Ireland!
We tend to go out for 4-6 hours everytime, so at most we get 3 trips out of each 9v battery. Between our 2 carrots, that's 2 new batteries every 1-2 weeks. In just a few months that adds up to the price of another Pinpointer for us, so we're hoping the rechargeable Nokta helps eliminate that expense. Lots more options to play with in the field, we'll update once we get more time with the 🍌 during our actual hunts.
Now that have been released from your NDA go bananas😅😅
🍌💥🍌💥🍌💥⛏️💰💍
No pitch audio option as mi4 had?
So far I see audio low and high (volume), 1 tone for all, iron discrimination (where it will ignore an iron target) and 2 tones where it has an interrupted alert for iron, but a solid tone for non-ferrous. At the moment I do not see a pitch audio select option.
@@UndergroundMetalDetecting That's pity. Pitch audio is way faster and more accurate than regular beeping... Seems I will stick to the Mi-4 still :(
I’m Sorry about that it wasn’t me. I like using both
I don't have the time to make a video, but my feeling after having had both in hand is that the Garrett seems much more solid, its start-up is much quicker, sensitivity is identical and discrimination is no longer perceived as a gadget, since Minelab has already tried this on one of its models and it didn't increase sales... Since marketing has taken over in R&D offices, we've really come up with anything and everything.
I really feel like the gun in Beverly Hills Cop 2, you know, the microwave radio CD rocket launcher flame thrower gun ah ah ah ...
Well at least you are one of the first to admit to using both instead of only the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT and claiming it to be the best. My take is this: if they are both the same price, why pay $130 for the same 2008 base model in 2023, if the fully equipped 2023 model costs the same price? I hope this provokes Garrett, Minelab, and XP to offer new pinpointer models to remain competitive.
Ok , I’m a Nokta user , both the Simplex and the Legend but …. Something is amiss. I use the Garrett Carrot and on the maximum setting ( three beeps ) it will detect a quarter 0-8” away. On medium about 0-4” and on low 0-1.5”. As far as battery life, I’ve put 3 batteries in it over the last year and 2 months. Yes , batteries can be a pain but I don’t have to have two tethers for it when charging the battery. The only thing I don’t like is the Garrett doesn’t have a volume control. Don’t get me wrong, Nokta has a good product but I’ll keep my Garrett for now.
Air tests are a little funky to get smooth results, which is why a lot of people dismiss them in reviews. We detect a few times a week and had horrible results with the cheaper brand 9v batteries. Hoped switching to the Good Duracells would get us some more life out of them, but they were still starting to crap out midway between the 3rd outing with a brand new battery. Been through at least 6 battery changes on these since May of this year so the battery costs add up. Hoping for much better handling of power with these being USB-C rechargeable.

Oh I totally understand your frustration and the economic situation. From what you’ve mentioned, I’m just wondering if perhaps you have a defective product. That or QC has lowered the quality of the product. I use my unit for two hours at a time about 3 times a week and have only used 3 batteries in a years time. I do however only operate it on the mid or low setting. I don’t like it not having a volume control but that was an easy fix by covering the speaker with a wrap of electrical tape. Who knows, maybe when the Carrot dies, I might consider the Nokta pointer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter. Happy hunting, be blessed and stay safe.
@@James-dtexTexas our hunts are often 4-6 hours each
@@UndergroundMetalDetecting …. Well, that would explain the battery life situation. LoL … I’ll keep watching your videos and if it proves to be a good Pinpointer, I’ll have to try one. Thanks for sharing.
💪🍀🤘😎
One thing you did not test is how fast is the target response?? My GP style is to slow per my video

I'll stick to my propointer
Thanks for watching! We started this journey with 2 Garrett 🥕s, and while they got the job done, one of the biggest drawbacks for us was constantly having to replace 9v batteries. If Garrett offered a rechargeable unit, that would have been the logical direction for us to go for brand familiarity. This is our first Nokta product but we could not pass up jumping on the early access beta test to get our hands on one. We hope to see other manufacturers stepping up with competing rechargeable pinpointers and we will happily obtain and compare them as well.
Woww
Stange Test, at the hatch of the Pick up full of iron 😂
😏😏😏
It found the pickup! We did move to a background signal free area for testing midway through the vid :)
Sorry I watched first the 12 minutes, and wrote than.
Is the Nokta pinpointer the beta or the final version?
I have the Garrett too, but what I see in deepness is almost the same with Nokta... That is no reason for the buy...
@johannesschneider8022 our pinpointer is the 2nd and final version produced during Beta Testing, which will match the production models exactly. Depth through the ground has shown to be deeper than the Garrett could reach on targets before digging. This means more accurate plugs (not as wide). These are USB-C rechargeable, meaning no more replacing 9v batteries after every 3 digs or so. These also offer 3 different frequency shifts, a brighter flashlight, comes with 2 replaceable tips, and has iron discrimination settings so you can focus on the good target and not the iron nearby. All of these offer increased efficiency in the field. The power meter also means no more guessing on battery power like in the Garrett's. We have been waiting a long time for a pinpointer to offer these features and are grateful to finally have them with the Nokta Accupoint!
No thanks....
Thanks for watching!
You can't beat a garret
A month ago, we would have and did agree that Garrett was King of the Pinpointers. As you can see on the channel, we each have one. However, as of 10/13/2023, the Nokta Accupoint has entered the market offering significant improvements in pinpointer technology and features which the current Garrett cannot compete with. It will be interesting to see if Garrett or XP or Minelab bring something new to the table now to dethrone this one.
Quest beat the Garrett a long time ago
Apparently you can!
A tailgate is not a good testing ground
That is only the intro display, moved to the ground after that segment
Yup saw that after posting, thanks for the video!@@UndergroundMetalDetecting
