The Vertex VX500 Pinpointer is an essential tool for any serious detectorist, designed to speed up target recovery time significantly. Stop wasting time digging large holes; the VX500 precisely locates coins, rings, jewelry, and relics right in the dirt or sand walls of your hole. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in the toughest environments.
