HOMPO Metal Detector Pinpointer
Sound + Vibration Alert
With a 360° omnidirectional detection probe, the metal detector pinpointer can narrow and precisely locate the target before excavation. As the metal detector pin pointer is moved in closer proximity to a metal target, the rate of pulsing audio and vibrations increase proportionally.
Fully Waterproof
This pinpointer metal detector is fully waterproof to a depth of 3m/9.8 feet, suitable for the seabed, riverside, beach, and other places, allowing you to enjoy detecting underwater. Please TIGHTEN the battery cover before use.
Features
- 360° omnidirectional detection
- 3m/9.8 feet waterproof
- 1-click operation
- 9V battery included
- 0.6 pounds weight only
Operating instructions
Switch the detector on by pressing the power button while holding the detector away from any metallic objects. To avoid cancelling out the target, do not turn on the metal detector pin pointer while it is adjacent to the target.
Do not affix metallic labels (or any material that might cause the detector to alarm) to the detection area of the metal detector. Doing so might cause an imbalance within the detection field and thereby reduce scanning effectiveness.
Please note that the hook of the hanging strap is made of metal, so when it gets close to the pinpointer, it will cause the detector to alarm.
Need to move the metal detector in parallel when detecting. Keep the metal detector static will not activate the detecting function.
Battery replacement
The metal detector battery condition is continually monitored automatically. When the battery is becoming low, the detector will sound an alternating dual-tone alarm. Replace the 9V battery as soon as possible by unscrewing the battery cover and tilting the detector so the battery slides out. Replace with a new 9V battery and hand-tighten the battery cover.
The battery compartment is keyed to only accept battery contact in the proper position. If a 9V battery is improperly installed, no circuitry damage will occur. However, it is important to observe the polarity of the battery and the metal detector battery compartment to ensure operation. Never force the cover to close.
Remove the battery when the metal detector is to be stored for more than 30 days.

I haven't had a chance to get out in the field yet but so far, so good.Ordered the Hompo and received a GP-Pointer (on box and actual detector). Looks just like the Hompo and I consider this an upgrade! It says Garrett Pro (GP) right on the instructions. Yay me and Thanks Amazon! Turned it on and it has great sound and vibration when in proximity of metal. Start at about 5" for larger metal objects and around 2-3" on the smaller stuff. Appears to be just what I need to go along with my Nox 800.If I have any issues, I'll update this review. 1/10/25

Totally new to this skill of metal detecting. Bought this item on the Amazon recommendation and have not been disappointed so far. Does what it is supposed to...and the price was very good. But again I'm new at this.
Works better than other brands I tried

Seems to work but could use some work on its accuracy

Dropped my small post box key on front(concrete ) step and thought it would be right there to pickup,but after looking for a few minutes knew it must have bounced off the concrete and into the grass in front of step. After looking around the step it felt like it vanished into nothingness. Looked on Amazon for an inexpensive metal detector and saw the Hompo for 23.00. Got some good reviews and received in two days. Waved it back and forth in front of the step and it started beeping in a tuft of grass . There it was. What a relief. Well worth the 23 bucks.

It was an almost 5 star then I got to open it and it’s rattling already. BUT., all is well it stayed in the box. If I might offer an opinion? Packing is key to return customers..tape on the end of the box would have been great. Just thinking out loud. Thanks for the product.

All the detectorists who have been at it awhile tout the other, expensive pinpointer as the one to buy. I’m on a fixed income, and this was more in my price range. I LOVE IT! I’ve used it on the beach, in the water, and in the woods. It has performed extremely well! And on one 9-volt battery since March; but my hunting trips are much shorter than average. This pinpointer is an excellent first tool.

Didnt pick up Gold, or Silver, just junk metal. if you want a pinpointer thatll pick up scrap metal then this is for you.. but if you want to find anything of value, id highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Distance wise it will pick up from maybe 1.5 inches. There are videos on You-Tube that explain how to tune them. I won't bother. If I need 3-4 inches I will spend 150$ . I think this will work fine for my purposes.Also it says water resistant not water proof . So buyer beware if you take take it underwater. Comes with stretch cord and sturdy case. If you are on a budget this will be ok.

I wanted a pin pointer for meta detecting but I was just starting out so I didn’t want to spend a ton of money. The name brand pointer was $150. I spent $27 on this one and I tell you I couldn’t be happier. Although this product seems to have mixed reviews, I found it does exactly what I want it to do. It has cut my time I half and easily locates small pieces of metal in the larger plugs I dig. I have used this on a dozen trips so far, put it in dirt, sand and a few inches of water and it still performs perfectly. I have used it for approximately 30 hours and have not had to change the battery yet. I love it and would definitely buy it again. I may buy another just as a back up. Love it!

I was skeptical but the price to value for what I was trying to use it for was great. It was very simple to use. Tip - use a brand new 9v battery. When it isn’t strong enough it won’t turn on the unit and only the light will briefly turn on. Press the power and it starts to signal metal with faster beeps for proximity. I had an approx idea of where the survey marker was I was looking for but this made it very simple to find and I had tried digging without it only to find out the marker was on the other side of the fence by a few inches.
