What Probe do peope like??

[MonkeyBoy]

Hello All,

I have a "Automax Precision Pinpointer" that came with my DFX years ago when I bought it... used it a couple of times but didn't really like it... hard to carry... and does not seem that good.. what probe do people really use? I thought about hobby shopping this one... cutting it down to be smaller and easier to use.. but before I do that.. I was hoping for some advice. I am not interested in the inline probes... 5 bad disk already at 42!! So I try to swing as little weight as possible... I took the automax apart.. not much to it... so it would be easy to modify... what I was think was a belt mount for the controls and a coiled RF line to the sensor for use...

Thoughts??

wifey bought me a garret pro pointer for crimbo too, its halved my detecting time especially on small targets that are caked in mud. never was happy waving handfulls of mud in front of the search head, mind things did improve once i put my watch on the other wrist !! lol.

Cen-Tech is the one I use. You can't beat it for the price. If you lose it, replacing one isn't expensive.

I have a Vibra Probe 570. Shortly after I got a new DFX-300 ordered a SunRay DX-1.So I put the whole thing together at once,went together well.

Been using Treasuremate for years. I like it.

The fifteen buck Cen-Tex is as good as anything I have tried and it is light weight and you can slip it into a back pocket if need be. Best bargain on the internet. Thank you Harbor Freight. Monty

I had a Sunray and liked it ok but dang, it is expensive. But I have noticed that all equipment is expensive any more. Thanks US Congress. Monty
