So what some of you guys are saying is the pin pointer is so good then why buy a metal detector at all.We could just crawl around on our knees with a pin pointer.
 What did everybody do before pin pointers came about. Reminds me of people driving with cellphones what did we all do before cellphones

If that's your take, go for it.
