- Metal Detecting
I just picked up a second ACE 250 and a Vibraprobe 560 from a gentleman who is going through a divorce. Apparently, the detector belonged to his ex, and judging by the deal I got, he wanted nothing to do with her or it. I had been using a cheap pinpointer prior to this called a Wizard vibprobe. It seemed to work really well, as long as you kept dirt from getting into the switch. Every so often, I would need to take it apart and clean it and then it would work fine.
My problem is that the Vibraprobe just doesn't seem to work all that well for me. I find it awkward and cumbersome to use and I also find that you have to be practically touching the object in order for it to pick up on it. My last complaint is that the probe is just too thick and it doesn't get into the dirt real well. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'm thinking of selling this unit and getting a better pinpointer. Does anyone have any suggestions for something lightweight with no switches that is thin enough to poke into the soil?
