Anyone here that does NOT have a pinpointer /probe....Winner in last post!

goldrush00013 · September 14, 2006 11:49AM

Well as it happens I no longer use or need my Tinytec.
It's a year and a half old but works just fine and is still on it's first battery.
I'm sure someone will appreciate it.

I'm gonna give it away to one of the folks that posts to this thread.
So after a week, I'll throw everyones name in the random number generator and pick the winner.

kevinstang · September 14, 2006 12:23PM

I don't at present, but had thought about getting one. Any recommendations?

Lambeau · September 14, 2006 12:39PM

I don't have one either... really can't afford one. Oh well, someday!

pocketpiececommems · September 14, 2006 1:08PM

I don't have one either.

dcamp78 · September 14, 2006 1:54PM

Nope. Nada.

SilverDreams · September 14, 2006 2:42PM

Ditto that for me.

30AnvZ28 · September 15, 2006 3:55AM

Nope.

goldrush00013 · September 15, 2006 4:35AM

CROCKofCOINS · September 15, 2006 12:01PM

Thank you GR

Jerry

DesertRat · September 15, 2006 1:11PM

Always wanted one but never bought it. The nearest store that sells them is 100 miles away and I hate buying over the internet.

thanks for the chance!

demodigger · September 15, 2006 4:17PM

i've seen riccar use his many times. always been jealous over it. would seem like a worthy tool for night hunts.

<< <i>i've seen riccar use his many times. always been jealous over it. would seem like a worthy tool for night hunts. >>

It definately shines on the night hunt! Literally.
This model has a small light on the end of the housing which comes on at the press of a button.

When I was swinging the GTI at night, I could pinpoint my targets so accurately that the Tinytec light was the only one I carried.
Of course I was in an open park usually..not like I was walking around in the woods.

I don't have the skills yet with my Minelab to do such accurate pinpointing. I would have to have a head lamp now.

GaCoinGuy · September 16, 2006 5:01AM

I used LordMs when I went detecting with him..........liked it, but have not been able to pick one up.

SilverEagles92 · September 16, 2006 5:07AM

I'd love to have one! Sadly however, I do not.

Craton · September 16, 2006 2:08PM

SHWEET!

gr8gabbo · September 16, 2006 2:43PM

don't have that....thanks for the chance....

smokinjoe925 · September 16, 2006 2:47PM

Awesom givaway goldrush. I've been thinking about getting into metal detecting and I decided that im gonna pool my upcomming birthday $$ into buying a good metal detector. And this would be an awesom addition. Thanks

lordmarcovan · September 16, 2006 3:19PM

Generous of you, John.

I still have a Tinytec, of course, so I'm not signin' up for this giveaway.

But I plan to upgrade to the Sun-Ray like you have. Thanks for the info.

laserart · September 18, 2006 6:29AM

I have one and I tell you what, I would never have been able to locate that teeny tiny nail without it.

dlimb2 · September 19, 2006 1:19PM

That would be one handy dandy tool...Thank You for the chance.

longtimecollector · September 20, 2006 4:24AM

Put me in......... and Thanks !

Caricon · September 20, 2006 5:35AM

I don't have one either.. I did look at getting one before at the mall. A coin store that deals with detectors had
one for sale. Think it was a Whites one. But was way overpriced. Guess that being in the mall they have to
pay that high rent so they jack up all the prices. Thank you for the chance for this....

PipestonePete · September 20, 2006 8:56AM

Sounds like a great addition to the metal detecting toolbelt. Thanks for the chance to own one.

silverbonanza · September 20, 2006 12:18PM

I have never used one but have always wanted one...thanks for the oppurtunity!!

JeffinMich · September 21, 2006 4:10AM

Don't have one, but would love to try one out......thanks for the giveaway~!

dan8402 · September 21, 2006 4:13AM

I do not have one either, I hope i'm not too late to enter. Thanks for the chance.

goldrush00013 · September 21, 2006 4:16AM

I'll be picking the winner Saturday evening (23rd).
So keep entering!

BentFork · September 21, 2006 5:56AM

Throw me into the mix. Thanks for the chance.
Gary

Rickyroooo · September 21, 2006 6:50AM

Please put My name in the hat. Thanks Rick

Zane · September 21, 2006 3:18PM

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but would love a chance to enter. I just started detecting, and the only I have found so far was a 1864 dated grave marker (I believe that is what it is). It was issued by the chester county Pennsylvania's sheriff's office, and is shaped like a star.

speer34 · September 22, 2006 12:22PM

Hey John,

It's been awhile since I have been around. Just signed on, saw your giveaway and thought I would enter. I had a pinpointer at one time, and believe it or not, I broke it the last day I was detecting when I was in the UK. Oh well, with the stuff I found that day, I could have cared less if I broke the thing or not. I don't think I ever put pics up of that outing, but that's another thread. Please add my name.

Thanks!!!!

PS--Sorry to hear you let go of your 2500. Did I see that you got a minelab?

Take care!!

Scott

goldrush00013 · September 23, 2006 3:59AM

Hey Scott! Long time no see.

<< <i>PS--Sorry to hear you let go of your 2500. Did I see that you got a minelab? >>

Yep, Couldn't deal with the pain in my shoulder from carrying the Garrett.
So I now swing a Sovereign which I wear mounted on my hip.

Drawing will be at 6:00 PM EST.

goldrush00013 · September 23, 2006 8:03AM

Desert Rat's number came up!

Congrats Danny!

Please PM your addy and I'll get it right out.

DesertRat · September 23, 2006 8:39AM

Wow!!!!

I was shocked to see my name as the winner! Thank you!

I have gone out so many time wishing I had a pinpointer but like I said earlier, the nearest place to shop is 100 miles away.

This is awesome!

thanks again John!

goldrush00013 · September 23, 2006 9:00AM

You're welcome Danny. I am glad it will be put to good use.
There was no sense having it lay around collecting dust.

Craton · September 23, 2006 9:08AM

Congrats DeRat!

DUBBA · September 23, 2006 9:10AM

awfull nice of you goldrush..........here's to you....."you da man"!....hh

Zot · September 23, 2006 10:50PM

Generous giveaway GR!

I use a pinpointer (White's bullseye II).
I initially got it to reduce the risk of damaging targets, particularly deep ones that can be harder to pinpoint accurately with the detector, but have found it to be a great time-saver as well - particularly in the evening/night as it has a light at the end of it.

It has probably avoided scratching at least one good target, which happened to be right at the edge of the plug, right where I would have put my digging tool next to make the hole deeper

lordmarcovan · September 25, 2006 12:45PM

I have an extra Tinytec now, too, now that I have upgraded to a Sun-Ray like John did. But I probably won't give it away for two reasons: first, it is rather quirky in its operational ability, now- sometimes I can barely hear it, and secondly, I will probably keep it for whoever uses my backup detector. (I will keep a second detector as a loaner for those who visit and don't have one).

Anyone here that does NOT have a pinpointer /probe....Winner in last post!
