Congratulations on the purchase of
your new Tek- oint inpointer.
The Tek-Point was designed to be the best-
performing pinpointing probe on the market,
answering the call from treasure hunters who
demand a robust, modern design and a probe that
maintains high sensitivity in the most demanding
environments.
The Tek-Point is a waterproof, pulse induction
detector. An advanced pulse induction design allows
the Tek-Point to operate in environments where other
pinpointers fall short. Whether in heavily mineralized
soils or saltwater, this pinpointer goes deeper and
guarantees stable operation where competitive
products false or lose sensitivity.
Throw away your 9-volt batteries folks. Welcome
to the 21st century!
Tek-Point is ergonomic and features easy-to-use
one-button operation. It was designed by treasure
hunters to take your treasure hunting performance to
the next level.
