When your main metal detector gives you a signal, the real work begins.
The Fortuna XELA Pinpointer is a high-precision handheld metal detector pinpointer designed to accurately locate small metal objects inside soil, sand, or excavation holes. Whether you are metal detecting for coins, jewellery, relics, or using a metal detector for gold, this compact tool dramatically reduces digging time and prevents damage to valuable finds.
If you are serious about metal detecting in the UK, a quality pinpointer metal detector is not optional. It is essential.
Even the best machines can only narrow a target to a general area. The coil size limits precision.
The Fortuna XELA solves that problem.
With 360° detection and rapid response alerts, it pinpoints targets directly inside the soil plug or excavation hole. That means:
Whether you use a professional gold detector UK device or an entry-level metal detector, this tool upgrades your recovery speed instantly.
Unlike standard probes, the Fortuna XELA offers full 360° detection around the tip.
Simply insert the probe into:
As soon as metal is detected, the unit responds with:
The closer you move toward the target, the faster the pulses and stronger the vibration become. This makes the metal detector pinpoint process intuitive and extremely accurate.
The FORTUNA Pinpointer XELA is a handheld metal detector for finding small metal items. The Pinpointer simplifies the detection of coins, keys, wedding rings or even historical artifacts during treasure hunts and protects these objects from scratches and damage caused by excavation tools.
Metal detectors locate objects only very roughly, depending on the coil size. Even the pinpoint function of metal detectors does not locate small objects with pinpoint accuracy. Pinpointers like the Fortuna XELA are therefore indispensable for treasure hunters. By using the pinpointer, detectorists save time and energy when digging up finds. While the metal detector is swung over the object, the pinpointer finds small metal items fast and accurately.
To do this, the 360° detection tip of the Pinpointer is inserted directly into the excavation hole or the excavated material. As soon as a metal object is in the immediate vicinity of the tip, the Pinpointer triggers an audio and vibration alarm. The closer the pinpointer gets to the metal object, the faster the sound pulses or the stronger the vibration intensifies. Vibration and audio feedback can also be optionally turned off to match the search location or to extend battery life.
If you use a metal detector for gold, small nuggets and thin jewellery can be difficult to locate in loose soil. The Fortuna XELA increases sensitivity to small targets, making it an ideal companion for:
This is not a replacement for your main metal detector. It is the precision tool that finishes the job.
The Fortuna XELA is waterproof up to 5 metres (16.4 ft), making it suitable for:
Metal detecting often leads into challenging terrain. This metal pinpointer detector is built to handle it.
Lightweight, portable, and extremely efficient this pinpointer metal detector is built for long detecting sessions.
✔ Metal detecting beginners who want faster recoveries
✔ Advanced users with professional metal detector setups
✔ Gold detector UK enthusiasts
✔ Beach and river detectorists
✔ Archaeology and relic hunting hobbyists
If you’re searching for the most capable machine setup, this is the accessory that completes it.
The difference between average and efficient metal detecting is precision.
Add the Fortuna XELA metal detector pinpointer to your kit and recover targets faster, cleaner, and with more confidence.
Small tool. Big advantage.
£299.99. That is six times the price of our Edge Pro Pointer at £49.95, so it is fair to ask what the difference buys, and we would rather answer that plainly than hope you do not notice.
For most detectorists, honestly no. The Edge Pro Pointer does the core job well. The Fortuna is a precision instrument with a 360 degree detection tip and finer control, which earns its money for people recovering delicate or valuable finds where a scratch matters. If you are digging modern coins, save the money.
It detects all round the tip rather than mainly from the end, so you can probe the walls of a hole as well as the base. That shortens recovery on awkward targets caught in the side of a cut.
Audio and vibration together, both intensifying as you close in: the sound pulses faster and the vibration strengthens. Either can be switched off to suit the location or to extend battery life.
Because a detector locates only roughly, limited by coil size, and even its pinpoint function will not place a small object precisely. The pinpointer goes into the hole or the spoil and finds the object itself.
That is one of its stated purposes. Coins, rings and artefacts get scratched by digging tools, and the faster you locate something the less time a trowel spends near it. On historically significant finds that matters a great deal.
It is built with small gold in mind, and small nuggets and thin jewellery are exactly what is hardest to recover once the ground is open. Pair it with a high frequency machine from our gold range.
Yes. A pinpointer is an independent handheld instrument, so there is no compatibility question with your main machine whatever make it is.
