SUNPOW Metal Detector Pinpointer OTMD08 11" Waterproof Probe — LCD Signal Readout & Vibration Alerts

The SUNPOW Metal Detector Pinpointer OTMD08 is a compact, fully waterproof handheld probe that pinpoints buried metal with sound, vibration, light and an LCD signal-strength readout.

Designed for hobbyists and pros alike, this 11-inch pinpointer combines high-sensitivity detection with easy controls and multiple alert types so you can zero in on targets faster. The OTMD08 uses an upgraded DSP chip and a 360° needle-tip probe for small-target side scans, while an IP68 housing lets you search in rain, streams, and shallow water. Multiple alarm combinations and a clear LCD make the device intuitive for adults and children learning to treasure-hunt.

How precise is the OTMD08 when locating small targets?

This pinpointer emphasizes small-target accuracy with side-scanning and a high-sensitivity DSP core. It can locate a U.S. quarter-sized object down to roughly 4.5 inches, and the needle tip helps detect tiny items in tight spaces.

• DSP chip for improved signal processing and sensitivity
• 360° needle-tip side scan for tiny targets and edges
• Detects a quarter coin at about 4.5" depth under typical ground conditions
• Compact 11" length fits narrow holes and crevices

What alerts and display options help me know when metal’s found?

OTMD08 offers four distinct alert signals and an LCD that shows signal strength in real time. You can combine or switch between flashing light, audible tone, and vibration alerts so detection cues match your environment and personal preference.

• Real-time LCD signal-strength readout for visual feedback
• Flashing LED, sound, and vibration alerts — switchable combinations
• Three primary modes: Sound & Vibration, Sound only, Vibration only
• Customizable alert mix to reduce false positives and stay focused

Can I use it in wet or extreme conditions?

The housing meets IP68 standards so the unit tolerates immersion and heavy rain, making it suitable for lakeshores, rivers, and shallow ocean wading. It also withstands a broad temperature range, allowing searches in cold and hot climates.
