Figured it out
Art Grodan in Claremont, NH USA -Thought my Bullseye was suffering from the dreaded "switch" issue. The unit would periodically stop working when I had the button depressed. Through troubleshooting, I found that if I was pushing on the battery it worked reliably. I put a penny I found between the battery and the sliding door and the unit works like a champ! I recommend trying this before returning your pinpointer for service.

Too many problems
Alton Schexnayder in Knoxville, TN USA -
Recived pinpointer with a MD purchased from Kellyco. Have had problems with falsing and the push button switch. Worked fine for about a year, but as it got older, the sensitivity deteriorated. Battery life is very good.

Whites should just stick to detectors
Joe in Indiana -
Total junk is all I can say do not waste your money unless you have it to throw away! Whites detectors are GREAT! I bought the Bullseye II and within 1 month it was trash press the button light would come on but that was it 120$ down the drain should have bought a Sunray inline probe for 60$ more. Live and learn I guess!

Works 4 Me
Wes in California -Got this and WOOOT! it works great. I'm not a body builder so I have no problems with the activation button or dial knob, I don't use it with muddy mittens on and I clean it at the end of my sessions. Only negative thing is there seems to be a "dead-band" between low sensitivity and high sensitivity. I regularly find items at 1" depth for coin "plucking" on high but mostly use it in low sens. to find them dirty camoflaged items. My whites pinpoints great. For dark conditions I have a glow in the dark decals on it and its ez to find.

I like it
J T from VA in Richmond, VA -I wouldn't think of locating without this. I adjust the knob just right and don't move it again. Some times I locate at night and love the light and the vibrate function as often I don't want to attract a lot of attention by sound equipment. I locate with mini headphones on my detector. I haven't had any issues with the button. I locate with army pants and an army jacket and put it in the large pockets. I found it is best to locate with either the army pants or the safari baggy shorts & shirt with a generous share of large pockets and extra rugged.

Good - Not Great - Maybe just okay
Ian Simons in Michigan -It works. It helps me find small targets. Buy it if you get a good deal on it. Don't buy it at full price. There are design issues that I'm sure Whites is kicking themselves over now. One is that blasted switch that is basically junk. I sent mine back to have the switch replaced - b/c it broke in 2 months. Also, the probe portion is constantly working it's way loose and has to be tightened every hunt. It gets good battery life, though. It is also pretty useful and saves time. Just be careful that you don't set it down and in the woods and walk away. For some reason the color of this thing makes it almost impossible to find in the woods. Also, I'm only referring to the first version of the Bullseye and not the newer blue model as I'm sure they have fixed some of the issues.

WHITE'S BULLEYE II MISSES THE MARK IN RELIABILITY!
Neil in West Jersey in New Jersey, USA -I purchased a White's Bullseye II 120mm pinpointer about six months ago. After about 2 months it became difficult to depress the activation button. Eventually it got to the point where my thumb would actually hurt after detecting for an hour or two. At times I was not sure if it was operating when I was trying to pinpoint.
I brought it back to the dealer, and he called White's, and they told him to replace it for me. Well I used the new one for about 3 months and HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!. After returning it the second time the dealer told me that the new type of switch wears out very quickly, and they should have stuck with the old toggle type switch.
This time I had to send the unit in for a replacement, which I quickly sold on eBay. I love White's detectors and customer service, but not the Bullseye.
When I am out detecting, I need reliability. The White's Bullseye is way off the mark!

Go back to the drawing board whites.
damon abernathy in adairsville ga -
Just not sensitive enough you have to be all most touching the target to get the bulleyes to work. As great as whites detectors are you would think there pinpointer would be better. Save your money buy a Automax v2 pinpointer much, much better. At least twice the depth.
