Default treasure mate or vibraprobe 560

Which one should I get? Was reading different things about them and want to make up my mind. The price on the treasuremate seems to be more expensive but I am willing to pay a bit more for quality. I was going to go for the vibraprobe but it might not be the one since the revirws say that it only gets targets and 1/2 to 1 inch and the treasuremate gets them from 1 to 1.75 which seems to me to be more reasonable. What do you guys think about this? Help me make this decition. Oh and I think the treasure mate has a lifetime warranty.

The newest model out is the 570. Its supposed to be a little better. I have it on order. I paid 130.00 for it. Should arrive today. Also, the whole probe is waterproof up to 30 feet. So you can submerse it.

The Treasure Mate is only waterproof up to the knobs.

will let you know what I think of it. It has mixed reviews, but mostly positive.

I'd vote for the Vibra probe. They are very tuff! The onle down side I have with them is that they tend to make my DFX scream a bit when they are near the tip.

I have owned both, both are great pin pointers but I love the fact that my vibra probe is water proof. Now on detecting depths my vibra probe gets a inch to 2 inches, But something to remember The vibra PROBE WILL sound in your detector if its real sensitive detector untill it cuts off. I am picky about my equiptment and i think the vibra probe is tops!! I just wish they made a sun ray probe for a Nautilus, Those things are worth their weight in GOLD!!!

Default Tinytec is the way to go!

I just started to use the tinytec ultra deluxe. This is a very nice pin pointer. $44.00 and 3 dollar coins in battery compartment! Very Accurate, activates 2" from the side of probe, and about 1.5" at the tip. Bright led light can be activated separately.

I love my 570 and it's tough as nails. I do notice that I need to keep it a good distance from my ACE when digging, They don't play nice together at the hole.
