Opinions greatly appreciated, looking to get one during the holidays and avoid time digging useless and large holes.

But since I usually carry tools like that in my pocket on the right leg of my utility jeans, the Vibra Probe was a little too long for my liking. This past Saturday I was at the detector store in North Kansas City and dropped the money for the Garrett Pro-pointer. I have only used it about 6 hours. But I can tell you that the Vibra Probe is up for sale. The Pro Pointer fits my hand better, is easy to turn on/off. The battery setup is simple, no wires or clips, fits my pocket like I had hoped it would and works just great. You can use it to nose around in the dirt and find that target. It feels like it is built very sturdy and has a 24 month guarantee. But knowing Garret, they would probably repair/replace it even after that.
My 2 cents.

You can get it dirty and it will not malfunction. I like the scrape bar on the probe and the fact you can use it to locate the item by scraping the dirt away, and pinpoint by using the tip. It emits beeps, solid tone and the tip of the machine is over the target. itermittent and your close. great product.

Thanks for the tip- You nailed it!
