How do You like the Vibra-probe 560 ?

[iwearpro]

I was thinking about buying one and was wanting everyones input that has used one.
Any input would be great.

will hit a coin at 4-5"
The 560 at 3/4 -1"

Does the uniprobe read at the tip like the vibra-probe or does it read off the whole shaft?

 

[ChuckDiggin it in Florida]

mainly the tip and maybe an inch of shaft?

 

[iwearpro]

Ouch they sure are proud of it I see.lol Dang! I guess you pay for quality and technology.

buy a coil and rod and you have a pi machine too!
It really does surpass even the inline probes on depth!

I had one but sold it.
Reasons were:
Too much interference with main detector, couldn't turn it off manually, doesn't detect all metals, wimpy depth.

The VibraProbe is a pi unit, so yes, you have to keep your detector a reasonable distance away, or you will hear the interferance. I have never had a problem with that?

I happen to like the 560. Waterproof, no switches to get dirty or wear out, auto off after a little bit of non use and long battery life, solid construction and backed up by the manufacture. Compare that to the toy "gun" type probes! Sure there are better probes, I own two SunRay DX-1's and love them, but for the price of a good used 560, it can't be beat.

I mean if it hits a coin at 4 or 5 inches, that doesn't seem like it's pinpointing the target very closely.

Doesn't that make it hard to find it?

Try one and you will agree.I have nothing to gain?

As it ptobably gives double the depth, is small but on the downside is not waterproof..Its a German product and seems to oushine most handheld units in raw depth and quite moderate in price to many...

My Sherlock, which was new at this past Xmas, just died. The press-switch failed. I'm gonna try soldering a new toggle switch in it's place, as the original was obviously NOT choosen for it's durability.
The unit worked well though, until it died.
