I've used a Sunray for a few years now. I'm going to a hand-held pinpointer, prob Garrett, because my Sunray is acting up now. I also want to eliminate the extra weight and incorrect balance aquired due to the mounting location.

I use a screw driver for a probe on everything except the Sov Gt which has the Sunray S-1 inline probe. I have used the hand held toys and they don't compare. The inline probes run off the electronics of the detector and have a range of near 8 inches. its like a small coil.

Sunray is the best, but overpriced IMO

You are right, there is maybe $10 worth of passive electronics, the rest must be labor costs, but still.

if the whole Probe cost $100.00 I would have one for my Explorer.

But if I'm not mistaken they are now running over $200

$194.95 + S&H

(Note: Above price does not include the upper shaft. If you are not sending in your upper shaft for modification add $47.09 for a new upper shaft for pre-mounted probe.)


even at $100 they could do like auto parts.
Send an upper arm with, and send the
upper arm you have in to them as a replacement.

I got rid of my pistol probe and bought the inline SunRay for my V3i and I love it!! It made my setup complete.....There is no other way....it is sooo kool !!! I highly recommend it. I do not know how I got along without it.....
Thanks Sun Ray for doing a incredible job !!!

I've had my S-1 probe now for few years and bought the 12" and longer extention cables from Minelab so I could hip mount the probe and the meter which I had at the time. Because of the tones of the GT I didn't need the meter so I sold it. The inline probe is better by far than any hand held probe. When I am real lazy I lay on the grass and wave the inline probe ahead of me to find the coins in real trashy spots.

Does anyone know how to remove the fixed Sunray probe? Please see my recent post.

Thanks guys, I'm getting ready to buy a safari and was debating on one.

 

[jeff of pa]

wasn't there a new company recently who stole Sunray's Idea ?

did Sunray threaten them ? or are they still around ?

Is it possible to put a Sunray probe on a garret ace 250?
