From the moment you unbox the Quest XPointer Max, it’s clear that this Garrett Pinpointer Metal Detector is made with the metal detector enthusiast in mind. Embodied in its sleek design and user-friendly controls is a promise of exciting adventures with metal detectors and the prospect of amazing discoveries.

Modes of Operation

The Quest XPointer Max certainly delivers on versatility with its three distinct operating modes for improved detection:

• sound,
• vibration, and
• both sound and vibration.

These modes can be easily toggled by using the second button on the pinpointer. This allows you to tailor your detecting experience based on your preferences and the environment you’re exploring.

In addition to these modes, the XPointer Max offers four sensitivity adjustment settings:

• low,
• middle,
• high, and
• boost.

This allows for greater customization, allowing you to adapt to various ground conditions, multiple targets, or target sizes. Switching between these two target sensitivity levels takes a long press on the first button and a quick push on the second button.

But the customization doesn’t stop there. The XPointer Max also allows you to adjust the sound volume easily. Holding the second button for about 5 seconds will enable you to cycle through five volume levels to match your surroundings or personal comfort.

The blend of these modes, sensitivity levels, and volume controls make the Quest XPointer Max versatile. Whether you’re detecting in a noisy outdoor environment or a quiet indoor location, you can tweak the settings to ensure you never miss a beep, a vibration, or a treasure!

The Power of Discrimination

The XPointer Max shows incredible discrimination capabilities, efficiently filtering out unwanted metals and helping you focus on your desired treasures. You won’t be stuck digging up trash anymore; this device can determine with striking accuracy whether you’ve got a tin can or priceless antique under your feet.

The beauty is that not every pinpointer in the market comes equipped with this invaluable feature, which gives the XPointer Max a distinctive edge. This function can drastically enhance your metal-detecting experience, turning hopeful digs into successful finds.

Waterproof Pinpointer Design

You’ll be hard-pressed to find terrain this waterproof metal detector can’t handle. The waterproofness is top-notch, enabling the device to operate up to 16 feet or 5 meters underwater. Imagine scuba-diving on a sunny afternoon and coming up with a long-lost relic – it’s entirely possible with the XPointer Max.

One of the great features of the Garrett pinpointer metal detector is its long-lasting 1000mAh Li-Po rechargeable battery, which should provide at least 12 – 14 hours of charge.

The device also boasts multiple operating modes, offering audio, vibration, and LED beam light indications for detected objects. Access to these varied notifications allows you to adapt to any situation, ensuring you never miss a potential find.

Audio & Led Lights

Let’s talk about the sound.

The Quest XPointer Max’s audio capabilities are nothing short of impressive. Its sound system features an internal speaker nestled snugly in the cap of the battery unit, ensuring that every signal comes through with remarkable clarity. This makes every beep a pronounced, distinct notification that’s easy to understand and react to.

The design’s implementation of a 3.5mm jack connected to the speaker makes the design unique. This creative twist is a first in pinpointer design.

If you want a more personalized experience, you can easily unscrew the battery unit cap and plug in your favorite wired headphones. The result? All the signals are delivered straight to your ears, and you won’t miss a thing.

In addition to its sound system, the XPointer Max has two tones and two LEDs on its body. The high tone is reserved for non-ferrous targets, and its detection triggers a green LED. This way, whenever you’re onto something valuable, you will hear it and see it too. On the other hand, the low tone coupled with a red LED is used for ferrous targets, helping you distinguish between potential treasures and commonplace iron scraps.

Moreover, information about the metal type is conveniently displayed on the screen. You’ll always know what you’re detecting, adding depth and excitement to your treasure hunting.

This intuitive, multifaceted sound and LED system makes the XPointer Max uniquely user-friendly. The signals are more than just beeps and flashes – they’re the language of discovery, spoken clearly for you to understand.

What we like about the Quest XPointer Max:

• Its impressive discrimination feature ensures less time to dig for trash and more time to find treasures.
• The superior waterproof design opens up a whole new world of underwater detection.
• The long-lasting rechargeable battery life ensures hours of uninterrupted detecting.

What could be improved with the Garrett Pinpointer Metal Detector?

• The one-piece rubber molding, which provides the waterproof shell, also makes the control buttons a little tricky – especially if you have gloves.
