I was wanting an In-Line probe for my Ace 250, but i wasnt even sure if there was one available. So i did some searching and came across the "SUN RAY YF-1 In-Line PROBE".
Has anyone ever used one of these or could provide any first hand knowledge about it.
It retails for about $180.00, so im not even sure it would be worth the extra money, but i was just curious what you guys thought.
Heres some more info about it:

Sun Ray Invader YF-1 Probe for Garrett Ace 150, Ace 250 and the Garrett GTP and GTAx series
Fully compatible with the Garrett ACE 150 & 250 models and with the flip of a switch is compatible with the GTP 1350 and GTAX 550, 750 & 1250. (NOTE: Early GTAX models including the GTAX 350, 400, 500 & 1000 are not compatible due to a different "center pin" connector used. The YF-1 is precision built to ensure peak performance.
Accurate "bulls eye" pinpointing on coin size targets up to 3" + deep depending on detector used, settings, ground and moisture conditions!
New compact, Light weight, waterproof/submersible 6" X 1" diameter probe mounts on top of upper shaft or along arm rest rod depending on model) for easy access. YF-1 probe and cable weigh approx. 5 oz. YF-1 switch box, connectors, cable and two probe clips, etc. weigh approx. 5oz. - 10 oz total!
While the YF-1 probe is waterproof, the switch box is water resistant and must not be submersed. (We use the same connectors as Garrett.)
Installation requires no tools or modifications to the detector.
The YF-1 incorporates all of the same functions as the stock coil including visual and audible target ID along with identical pinpoint functions (depending on model)! (On the GTP the YF-1 profiling function accuracy may be off and depth reading will be off due to the probe's diameter, which is normal.)
High quality custom made, durable probe and connector cable used for precision performance. Probe incorporates a very flexible heavy duty custom 30" straight cable with strain relief for "tangle free" operation.
Quality high performance toggle switch used for peak performance! (Minimum 100,000 mechanical life operation-as described in manufacturer's specs)
"Mode" switch (see lower left photo) shuts off coil as it turns on probe and vise versa. Coil and probe are never on at the same time.
New "Detector Selection Switch" (see lower right photo) allows you to switch between ACE series models and GTP/GTAX series models for proper Target ID and operation!
FULL 12 MONTH WARRANTY!!
Thanks in advance for any info. or advice.
