Operating Instructions

Power On

With probe at least 300mm/1' away from metal objects, press the Power button (5). The unit will beep twice and the LED (3)* will illuminate.

When auto-calibration is complete, a short beep indicates that the pinpointer is ready to use.

When a detection occurs, the vibration* will intensify, and the beeps will emit increasingly closer together. When the detected object is very close to the probe, the beep becomes a continuous tone.

Power Off

Press the Power button (5). Three short beeps will emit and the pinpointer will power off.

Lost‑Alarm

When the pinpointer is switched on but has been inactive for approximately 3 minutes, a long alert beep will emit. This will repeat every 10 seconds unless a detection occurs.

If the pinpointer is inactive for another 5 minutes, it will automatically power off.

Low Battery

Low Battery is indicated by a flashing LED* (3).

When the battery level is critically low, the pinpointer will automatically power off.

Sensitivity^*

To increase sensitivity, press + (6). When maximum sensitivity is exceeded (level 5), there will be a long beep.

To decrease sensitivity, press – (7). When minimum sensitivity is exceeded (level 1), there will be a long beep.

Ferrous Tone ID^*

To enable Ferrous Tone ID, hold the pinpointer away from metal objects, then press and hold + (6) for 3 seconds. There will one long beep.

When the pinpointer is close to the target:
Interrupted chirping tones upon detection indicate a ferrous target.

Ferrous Tone ID is effective when the probe is 10–15 mm (approx. ½") from a ferrous object.

To disable Ferrous Tone ID, press and hold – (7) for 3 seconds, until the unit emits one long beep.

Audio Indication^*

To turn audio tones ON (default), hold down + (6) when turning on the pinpointer.

To turn audio tones OFF, hold down – (7) when turning on the pinpointer.

If + (6) or – (7) are not pressed at all when turning on the pinpointer, it will default to the last-use audio mode.

Factory Reset

From off, press and hold the Power button (5). After two long beeps, continue to hold for 5 seconds. One long beep followed by two short beeps will indicate when Factory Reset is complete.

General Maintenance

To maintain a waterproof*/splash proof seal, ensure that the battery cap O-ring is periodically lubricated with silicone grease.

Always check that the battery cap O-ring and screw threads are clear of dust, sand, and grit. * PRO-FIND 35 only

Locate targets with speed and accuracy.

PRO‑FIND Series pinpointers help you to accurately locate targets inside a small hole or crevice where a metal detector coil cannot fit. This results in smaller holes, less environmental disruption and faster target recovery time!

Minelab's DIF technology significantly reduces interference with an operating metal detector when the pinpointer is switched off, by disengaging the pinpointer's magnetic field and stopping subsequent circulating electrical currents. Therefore DIF eliminates many of the false signals associated with other pinpointers. This is especially important when using sensitive, high performance metal detectors.

Choose from the PRO‑FIND 15 or the premium PRO‑FIND 35 which features an LED flashlight, adjustable sensitivity, Ferrous Tone ID and more!

A PRO‑FIND Series pinpointer is an essential part of your detecting tool kit.
