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.

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.

Pushbuttons faulty
G.A. in Minnesota -
The pushbuttons on the bullseye -II cannot be expected to last more than 2-3 months before breaking. I had my BE-II replaced/repaired three times due to the faulty button component installed on these.
White's finally installed a toggle as a repair which worked great, until I lost my pinpointer. I bought a new BE-II and sure enough, the pushbutton on this one was faulty as well, and broke after 2 months.
Great pinpointer - when the button isn't broken. Googling around, this bad button problem appears to be a rampant design/manufacturing/design flaw of this pinpointer.

Is it just me?
john smith in treasure paradise,usa -Got my first one and it stopped working just b4 the warranty.Then i got a replacement(for free). I Used the new bullseye 2 120mm for almost a year and it also stopped working.Maybe it was the rain or dust.

TIME SAVER
Chuck from STL in Saint Louis, MO USA -The Whites Bullseye has been a valuable time saver, allowing me to lay down the MD and get right to the find (sometimes in the dirt removed from the hole). Haven't decided for sure but leaning toward "tone" mode vs "vibrate". LED light is a nice touch but hasn't been of use for me to this point. Very easy on batteries. The unit is light and truly a "pinpointer" rather than a "probe". Pushbutton switch is slightly inconvenient (that's why it's not a 5) - hard on/off with timed "auto-off" would be nice. Watertight would be good.

Great little addition
walter paul in central louisiana -very satisfied with my whites bulls eye II. The vibraprobe made my fisher cz back talk, and also with my treasure baron coin trax. the bulls eye will viberate some if I get closer than about 8 inches, but neither detector will pick it up and chatter. Great for those shallow coins, less than 2 inches, for when you locate it, you just have to probe it out with knife, so there are a lot less hles to fill.

Not too good....
Mark in Canada -
Pretty dissapointed with this unit.
I have a Vibraprobe and bought a Bullseye 2 for a backup probe.
The vibration is almost non existant, and the pushbutton was broken within three weeks.
Terrible design in my opinion, they should have stayed with a toggle switch as on the first one, but place the toggle on top of the unit, not on the side. The long probe part itself is very, very flimsy, and was lose and started to wiggle after the first day.
At least with the Vibraprobe you can really "PROBE" with it.
Get back to the drawing board Whites!!!!
