What sets the MI-6 apart is its remarkable waterproof capability, allowing you to explore wet environments like streams, rivers, and even the beach, up to a depth of 6 meters. Unlike any traditional pinpointer, in my opinion, both MI-6 and MI-4 have a power button on the wrong side.

software package; The audio signal from the pin pointer is transmitted directly to the DEUS remote control and headphones. For example, when the remote is on, the MI-6 does not detect anything, and the Deus does not switch to the pinpoint screen, or cancel the audio - when the probe is indicating a target, the Deus coil is supposed to be turned off. As I tested the MI-6 being not paired to my Deus, my review is more about the MI-6 as a usual probe, and the MI-4 which does not have a wireless module.I resumed using my old Garrett Pro-Pointer which did not have ANY of the above-described flaws, and still serves me very well. This inconvenience is due to unfit shape and thickness of the handle section which is tapered from 1. I decided that it was something to do with the state of MI6 battery charge or, more likely, EMI 'tripping up' the signals used to do the 'handshake' between the two bit of gear.

The MI-6 is the first pinpointer on the market to offer wireless connectivity to your XP DEUS or ORX detector. X with the unpaired probe is operated on the 12 kHz frequency - the same as the operating frequency of the MI-6 and MI-4 probes, and reacts to the pinpointer with a loud, oscillating sound. In April of 2018, Garrett released its new electronic probe - Garrett PRO Pointer AT Z-Lynk, which also incorporates a wireless module besides all other cutting-edge features like the ones of the XP MI-6.This resulted in the MI-6 staying on for extra 5 minutes and losing some battery charge every time I did not press the button right.
