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. First, I did not want to deal with the pairing and connectivity issues which were caused by a few bugs in the firmware versions v4.0 and v5.0. I did not care much about the wireless connection to the Deus for two reasons. When the MI-6 was revealed in autumn 2016, I was excited to assume that the XP Metal Detectors company had finally created a wireless in-line probe just like the old, good Sun Ray X-1 back in the 2000s! But what was my disappointment when I found out that the MI-6 was only a so-called reinvention of a bicycle - a modification of a regular pinpointer, that just had a radio connection to the Deus Audio, not to its Discrimination circuit like in the case of the in-line probe, and was filled with features and programs which I did not need at all. Therefore my formed opinion can be considered very subjective if it is not balanced by hard facts. This is why, every time I come across and test the latest probe model of any other brand, my evaluation of it is based on comparison with a legendary electronic probe. Since then, Garrett has released a few subsequent, modified versions of the Pro-Pointer, all of which have become successful and reflected the Garrett adherence to the highest standards in design ergonomics, body build quality and performance. Prior to testing the XP MI-6 pinpointer, for years I had been an avid user of a legendary Garrett ProPointer with which Garrett set a new standard for a professional, simple, reliable and affordable device in the electronic pinpointer industry back in 2008.
