Which Pinpointer Should I Get

[smartfox]

I need help. Feels like a tuff decition. Which ones do you guys have and which is the best one? The vibra probe 570 seems to be the one. It is water resistant and everything but I saw a couple of bad reviws as well. Only thing I did not like about the vibra probe is that a couple of people said thatit only detects up to 1 inch which seems to be very little while the treasuremate goes 1 to 1.75 inches which seems more reasonable. Are there any others that are better? let me know. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I prefer an inline just because it is more sensitive, gives a sound, and you dont have a tendancy to lose them when you lay them down. The Vibra pro is a tuff pinpointer and vey water proof. With both my DFX and SE i get feed back from it unless i move the detector a good piece away. Also if i move the pinpointer too quickly i dont feel the vibration. You may hear a little buzz sound but thats it. I pinpoint pretty well but spend more time than i think i should using the pinpointer.

i use the vibraprobe, i love it and have no complaints, except for the fact that if too close, my detector and probe set eachother off. if you want to kinda see how it works, i use it a little in my video

Well here is my opinion on probes, I bought a Vibra probe years ago & almost never used it, In my opinion they dont' work that well, & by that I mean unless the tips is practically right on the object your trying to find, then you won't get any kind of signal at all & you will just get frustrated.

Now I just bought a brand new F75 & my dealer/detecting buddy recommended adding the Sun Ray Invader FX -1 probe to the detector & I was like I don't think so, I have a vibra probe & never really used it, then read some great reviews on it & decide to go with it.

O My God!!! am I glad I did. Used is Sat for the first time & I can't tell you what a great device it is. You pop your plug out flip the switch to probe & you can scan your plug from top to bottom & sides & the hole & it detects from the tip & sides of the probe. Also I would say it will detect a good 3 to 4" in range, unlike the Vibra Probe where you practically have to be touching the object with the tip before it will work & what good is that when you think about it!

I'll go out on a limb here & say if you make the investment in the Sun Ray probe you will be writing me back after your first use saying dude you were so right, I know because I called my dealer & was going O' my god does that thing work great or what, I'm so glad I got it, & will never be with out it!!! FYI My dealer has detected for over 30 years & he says he will never hunt with out it again!!! Good Luck In What Ever You Decide to go with!!!
