I tryed other pinpointers & I now use the same trx that your useing & I find it to be one of the best I ever used. If you take good care of it. It should last a long time. I find its a little water proof for the rainny days but I would never use it under water at the beach , rivers or lakes . I don`t understand why everyone like having a light on theses pointers If you need light at night its better to buy a headlamp of flashlight for detecting thats what i use but I don`t detect that much at night. I would never rub the tip into the dirt & use it as a digging tool, thats how they wear out & break.

Actually, White's technical support told me it is completely waterproof up to 10 feet. not just water-resistant.

I have the black Garrett pinpointer. No problems at all with it , bit I wanted a WATER PROOF one so I specifically bought the TRX because I wanted that feature. After looking at the TRX it didn't seem to feel as tough either and didn't seem like it would be anymore water proof that the Garrett. Now I'm a little pissed. It advertizes as being submersible up to 10 feet ( in another ad it says only 6 ft. ) but either way Ifeel I just threw away $130 .Isn't that false advertising ? I guess I will just cover the speaker hole and go with it. The other function I liked though was the detection only on the tip.....

Great review! I may be borrowing that next time we get to hunt. If it can work better than my Pro-Find to find the ones in the side of the hole BEFORE I start widening, then it's going to be a winner for me!

I have been using a TRX for about 3 weeks now, and I am very satisfied with its performance in the field. I also own the Garrett and Minelab pinpointers. Guess I am all set now!

Any of those can be made waterproof very quickly. Cover any speaker holes with electrical tape. Then use plasti-dip to coat the pin pointer from head to toe. 2 or 3 times. Once it is all dry, it is waterproof. I've been using mine (Garrett Pro Pointer) this way completely underwater for quite a while now and it works great. I can still hear and feel it fine. When I peel off the plastidip, it looks like the day I took it out of the box. Good as new.

Can't wait to see a updated review after a few weeks or months. I hope one of the MD companies will get a hint and make a waterproof PP. I think they do not want to so they will sell more. A waterproof one will last way to long and not wear out like the others do.

I know same here.. I have hounded Garrett to get one done.. if they do it will dominate the market.. that is no joke! yeah there is a waterproof one out there but it only lasted a month.. I got rid of it after having to send it in and it was way too large.. not mentioning the name..

When I purchased my TRX PP ( metal detectors.com ) the specs said submersible to 10 ft......Now as I read the box it came in and the instruction sheet. It doesn't even say it's water resistant anywhere. WTF

Gonehunting For History some people have had problems with the Garrett Pro Pointer that I never had in the last 3/4 years I used it. So never change a winning team :) I'm sure every type of pin pointer has it's pro's and cons. I wish they could present one that IS waterproof. Or at least a real waterproof cover.

Its 7/14/2016 now and White's own webpage list the TRX as "Waterproof to 10 feet. IP 68 Certified" I think they got that issue handled and trust that certification.

I recently bought a White's Bullseye TRX. White's claimed it was waterproof to 10 ft. I took it to 3 feet & it completely died on me after 5 minutes. $130 dollars & an hr drive to Cabella's for this? Not happy.
@JMS-by7jn8 жыл бұрын
It's still not waterproof & i just bought one on sept. 23, 2016! Wasted my money. They are false advertising to put "waterproof" on the box & claim online that its waterproof to 10 ft when it's not even waterproof to 3 feet. If it's only water resistant then that's the word they should label on the box. Obviously, there's a world of difference!

could you hunt with it under a bleachers , if it was pointed straight down ?at level 4 or do you think it would sound off on the metal bleachers a foot away/ I know you pointed it right at the metal scoop but say a coin was 3" deep and 6" away from that can could you still get the coin
@Gonehunting7310 жыл бұрын
Honestly if you are under bleachers unless you have it pointed at the ground you(in power four) you are probably going to pick up the bleachers. It's really sensitive and have had some issues picking out my target if there is a lot of trash.. Even with the sens turned down..

+Evan Granger Sorry my bad everywhere i looked actually not one vid said it was waterproof so i tried my own test.I used a 10 ft x 6 inch pvc pipe filled it sunk my brand new trx to the bottom left it for 30 mins.I was going to take the electronics out i decided not to.I opened it all dry thankfully.2 year warranty anyhow.I trust whites iv owned my V3i M.D. for 5 years rugged awesome machine lots of deep finds. my first penny at 12 inch on a old 1960s decommissioned part of the hwy one of the overgrown pull offs 1854 eagle american 1 cent had it appraised $100 cool not selling tho first coin i ever dug up its a keeper. whites stuff kickass my wife and i have 5 boys then saved the best for last a girl.They all use my whites equipment so my testimony by saying it's tough it is.So i was a bit miffed when all i could find on the trx was not waterproof. other then that ure vid was great and knowledgeable info thanks again for it.Hope 2 see more videos.So over and out have a good dig see ya out there

+3D camper oh no problem.. At first they were then they removed it.. Now it seems they have again started saying it is. I believe at the time of release the tech said they weren't satisfied with the testing.. It's been a while and I deleted the email.
