A True Discriminating Pinpointer

[kac]

Possible to make a motion based pointer and even have multi tone to it.

When digging out trash pits and huts, I've used the Deus small elliptical coil (detached from the detector stem) and the remote as sort of a pinpointer on steroids to cherry pick the non-ferrous.  Someone even makes a grip handle that you can attach to a Deus coil and use it to scan the dirt piles or side walls of the pit (see below mounted on Deus 9" coil).

Where can I find this? I did a search with no luck.

It looks like it was 3D printed. Should be an easy make for those who have access to a 3D printer. Some libraries even have them for public use.

I read the topic, it was very informative, thanks for the information. 
I am looking for a pointer for diving and snorkeling that has metal discrimination capabilities. It can be a big help in low visibility conditions in fresh water, where there are usually a lot of iron pieces. Another important point is to be sensitive to small gold objects. I use the Nokta Pulsedive, a very good, robust device, but unfortunately quite weak for small objects, at least for gold. The Nokra Makro pointer is much more sensitive, but weak in salt water. I don't know if you used the two pointers mentioned in the topic in salt water, what is your experience?

This is currently the best option that discriminates ferrous/non-ferrous available but it can only dive to 10ft/3M.

Thanks! 3 m deep enough for my purposes becaus I use Nemo for hunting.
