Additionally, the XP MI6 Pinpointer has a waterproof design that enables it to be used in wet environments, such as shallow water, streams, and rivers. I decided that it was something to do with the state of MI6 battery charge or, more likely, EMI 'tripping up' the signals used to do the 'handshake' between the two bit of gear. Nothing to say about me possibly changing the sensitivity level which can be adjusted by quick-pressing the button, and not knowing it. When synced You turn on the pin pointer it shuts off the metal detector coil and there is no interference. The MI-6 and MI-4 are not only submersible up to 20 feet 6 meters, but also can float on the water surface.

This is why the user has to charge the battery more frequently than necessary just to be on a safe side, in addition to regular charging of the Deus coil, remote controller and headphones. I think that the XP Metal Detectors should quickly address all firmware and design issues with their probes, otherwise the competitors will eclipse the XP Metal Detectors soon, if this is not already happening. g. control over vibrate, flashlight and volume settings from the RC - easy to do, just they don't seem to have thought about it (and who needs a PP with multiple 'programs' and/or 50 sensitivity levels)! What we love: "Great quality, great audio, waterproof to 6 meters packed with lots of features, designed for use with the XP DEUS, AND DEUS II!My experience with the XP MI-6 Waterproof Pinpointer has been in some of the most mineralized soils in the USA - Northern, Virginia. And my pros and cons for the MI-6 and MI-4 probes cover primarily their design and body build quality. If your in need for a new pinpointer or wanting a good pinpointer 100% this one beats all others i have used! Other notable features of the XP MI6 Pinpointer include adjustable sensitivity settings, audio and vibration alerts, and a rechargeable battery that offers a long operating time.

LED, vibrate, audio and sensitivity adjustments when the pinpointer is used as a stand alone item (not connected to the Deus). I've never managed to get the poxy thing to work properly throughout a single day, so the volume is the least of my problems. The pinpointer is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around and use for extended periods. And to get it to work, the unhappy campers have to reboot the MI-6 a few times, or completely remove it from the system and re-pair.

In summary, the XP MI6 Pinpointer is a reliable, high-performance metal-detecting tool that offers advanced features to help metal detectorists locate targets more accurately and efficiently. This pinpointer is manufactured by XP Metal Detectors, a renowned company in the metal detecting industry known for producing high-quality, durable and reliable metal detectors.

Because I had developed certain sensorimotor memory in my hand muscles after using the Garrett pinpointer for a long while, I am used to quickly press the pinpointer power button to turn it off without conscious control. Sometimes the remote fails to turn the coil back on, or very slowly activates with the HF Elliptical coil. I like having a rechargeable battery, although it has a unique plug, the end cap needs to be removed to recharge, and is VERY hard to unthread sometimes.When connected to the DEUS allows further advanced levels of adjustments via the DEUS menu including 50 levels of sensitivity, adjustable tones, 2 audio modes, battery level indicator, programs, MI-6 recovery mode - find a lost MI-6 even if it has been switched off for several weeks. Also, after the MI-6 is turned off, a user has to wait 15 to 20 seconds before the remote wakes up, and the Deus makes a sound.

The scraping blade of the MI-6 and MI-4 is single-sided and tapering to the tip, so, when you remove a few layers of dirt with the scraping blade to expose a tiny target lying on the surface, you end up scraping the surface with the pinpointer nose, not with its scraping blade! With XP's radio link, you can effortlessly connect the MI-6 to your XP Deus 2, Deus, or ORX metal detector, taking your metal detecting experience to new heights. Its super sensitive to small targets, i love the feeling of it in my hand the its very fitting to the hand. An anti-interference suppression system between the MI-6 and the DEUS/ORX means that the Deus switches into standby mode when the MI-6 is activated and then comes back on when the MI-6 is switched off.With the MI-6, I often followed my old habit and did not press and HOLD the power button long enough to turn it off. The main difference between the XP MI-6 and XP MI-4 is absence of radio connection to the Deus in the latter.
