Review — Performance & Use

AccuPOINT is Nokta’s take on a feature‑packed pointer and it suits UK inland conditions well. The colour LCD makes settings obvious in the field—useful on winter afternoons when your fingers are numb and you can’t remember how many clicks you’ve made. Bluetooth pairing to compatible Nokta detectors routes the pointer’s audio to your headphones and can mute the detector while the probe is active, cutting down on the chatter that often happens when a hot pointer sits near a running coil. On busy rallies and club digs this keeps you quieter and less distracting around stock and footpaths.

On arable and pasture the unit behaves calmly a notch or two below maximum sensitivity. UK retailers and forum users highlight that the discrimination modes—1‑tone, 2‑tone and Iron‑Off—help cut down time wasted on tiny iron shards once the plug is open. In practice that means fewer minutes chasing rust smears in plough or clinker; stay on 2‑tone when you want a quick heads‑up and drop to Iron‑Off if you’re in a field full of nail‑rot. The replaceable tip is a practical touch for abrasive soils and flinty ground, and the built‑in depth ruler is handy for logging finds. Rechargeable USB‑C power fits modern kit bags and avoids faffing with PP3s before a rally weekend.

Waterproofing is rated to 3 m (IP68), so flooded gateways, stream edges and winter slop aren’t a worry. Reports in UK threads suggest that careful pairing and keeping firmware/drivers up to date on Nokta machines improves Bluetooth reliability; once linked, the mute behaviour and in‑headset audio work as advertised. As with any hot pointer, raking along serrated stubble can provoke the odd chirp—retune and a small sensitivity drop tame it. The LCD is bright enough in overcast light; in direct summer glare it benefits from shading with your hand like any small screen.

Compared to staples like the Garrett “Carrot” (simple, tough) or the XP MI‑6 (wireless within the XP ecosystem), the AccuPOINT’s pitch is breadth of features at a sensible price: ferrous tones, a readable display, rechargeable power and Bluetooth in one package. If you already swing a Nokta detector the audio link and detector‑mute are genuinely useful quality‑of‑life upgrades. If you don’t, it still stands on its own as a modern, quiet, rechargeable pointer that copes well with mineralised British soils and the rough‑and‑tumble of pasture and plough.

Pros

    Rechargeable via USB‑C; colour LCD with clear settings; useful ferrous discrimination tones; Bluetooth audio and detector mute with Nokta machines; replaceable tip.

Cons

    Best wireless features only with Nokta detectors; small LCD needs shading in bright sun; can chirp at very high sensitivity on rough stubble; slightly more complex than one‑button pointers.

Conclusion

For UK farmland, pasture and plough, AccuPOINT combines modern conveniences—USB‑C charging, a clear display and Bluetooth audio—with genuinely helpful ferrous tones. It’s robust, IP68‑rated to 3 m, and the replaceable tip and depth ruler are thoughtful touches for regular diggers. Non‑Nokta users still get a capable, quiet pinpointer; Nokta owners gain slick headset audio and detector mute that make rally days tidier. If you value features and rechargeable power without drifting into gimmickry, this is an easy shortlist pick.
