Question 1

I'm a waterfowl hunter and would to know if it would detect steel shoot in meat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the range you would experience looking for shot in a carcass would be about an inch. The detection range of 3 inches is for metal objects weighing several ounces.  It will detect a quarter about an inch or two away. It would be helpful to supertune this detector to get more range. Supertuning is when you hold a washer or any metal object between the butt and the power button, causing the propointer to become more sensitive.  Google: super tune garrett propointer.  Looking for bb sized objects you may be better off with a pistol pro.  This propointer is preferred for finding coins in a hole in the ground, because it is smaller and interferes less with our main metal detectors.

Question 2

The description says water resistant. Is it submersible?

Accepted Answer

When washing the device off under running water, yes the unit is sealed, however, there are two small vent holes, just behind the power button which should be covered with your thumb. As for your question, the scanning/detector part of the device can only be submersed in water which is about 4 inches. The entire unit should not go with you to the bottom of the river, lake, ocean, or swimming pool. The device meets IEC 60529 IP 66 dust and water resistance standards. Hopefully that answers you question. If the area in question is bigger than a normal size puddle or pothole just scoop out what you need to scan, place the material in a bucket with some water and power-up the detector...

Question 3

Will this detect gold?

Accepted Answer

yes it will detect gold although, it also detects trash...I use this only after I have identified what it is im digging for...my metal detector is precise...it actually will mask out iron....if I don't find what it is im looking for after finding trash, I will detect the area again....very rare though

Question 4

I lost a bracelet somewhere in the house.  Will the Garrett Pro Pointer help me locate it?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not as there are many, many metallic type objects in walls & floors such as nails & screws. The Garrett Pro-Pointer was made primarily for helping to locate objects in soil along with the use of a metal detector. After locating a target such as a coin buried in the ground with a metal detector, the pinpointer is then used to search the hole to exactly locate the coin to help prevent scratching the coin with the digging instrument.
