Handheld metal detector Extralink GP-Pointer SA-980 orange — pinpoint probe for locating small metal objects

The Extralink GP-Pointer SA-980 is a handheld metal detector designed for hobbyists and more experienced users. Its compact 230 mm body and 230 g weight make it easy to carry on field trips, while the 12 kHz operating frequency and high sensitivity allow detection of small metal objects in soil, sand or grass. Built from durable materials, the device performs reliably across a wide temperature range and in various terrains.

Advantages

The GP-Pointer combines portability and precision: compact size and low weight for comfortable transport, precise detection of small targets thanks to the 12 kHz frequency, and robust construction with IP66 protection for use in dusty or wet conditions. It is simple enough for beginners yet sensitive enough for advanced searches.

Key specifications

• Operating frequency: 12 kHz
• Length: 230 mm
• Weight: 230 g
• Protection rating: IP66 (dust and water resistant)
• Operating temperature range: -37°C to 70°C

How to use

Hold the GP-Pointer by the handle and sweep the tip slowly over the search area, keeping the detector parallel to the ground. Move methodically to cover the entire surface; when the device signals, narrow the sweep to pinpoint the exact location. Rinse after use in salty or muddy environments and store dry when not in use.

Recommendations

For best results, calibrate the detector according to the manual before use and replace batteries as needed. Avoid prolonged submersion despite the IP66 rating and clean the unit after searches in saltwater or heavy mud.
