Not happy with the DX-1

[FXDiz]

I finally went out and bought a Invader DX-1 for my DFX. I know many of you really like this probe, but it isn't for me. I find it easier to use my pinpointer. The DX-1 is larger so I have to dig a bigger hole and I'm used to feeling my pinpointer vibrate when I locate the target, so the DX-1 was a bit awkward for me to say the least. Add the switching back and forth from coil to probe and listening for the probe to find the target just wasn't mhat I am used to. I ended up removing it and using the old standby. So now it looks as if I have a new DX-1 I'll be selling. Just wanted to post my thoughts on it.

I love my DX~1. Set the DC sens to 40 - 50 and you are good to go. I do agree with you that it takes time to get used to switching the toggle back and fourth from coil to pinpionter.

Good luck on your sale. Someone will snatch it up. The DX-1 is a good unit.

Thanks for the tip. Thinking about getting 1 for my MXT, not quite sure yet

Here is # 5.
Now watch the forum tell me I needed to make specific POST and the replies don't count... We'll see. Just tying to get some gear to go out and hunt some treasure :)

I think you said what the problem is best "just wasn't what I am used to". Maybe your pin pointer pro is more sensitive than mine, or you know your MD better, whatever the reason the Probe is still better than the pro pointer IMHO. If you don't sound off the pro pointer you either continue digging or you grab your detector again to try and pin piont. The probe is way easier and lighter than the MD. You should be using both the probe and the pro pointer. JMHO.
