I brought this subject up a few months ago when first mounting in the in-line probe for my GoldQuest, Mr. Bill sold me this probe Eric had made for I believe this GQ when Scott had the unit set-up for nugget hunting. This unit has gone through a couple of changes and now set-up for California beach searching, The unit is completely waterproof.
The probe has spoiled me to the point I can't see myself going back to searching without a probe, It really speeds up recovery especially the tiny conductors that are almost impossible to recover when repeatedly scanning a handful of sand across the coil. Even then the tiny conductor may escape being detected because the small conductor may be on edge when scanning across the coil with a fistful of sand.
Many times the small object would have taken longer to recover but with using the probe I can now recover the tiny target within seconds, A flip of a switch launches the probe into auction and after recovering the target another flip of the switch springs it back to the main coil.
As long as the unit is well balanced adding a probe doesn't affect the weight, Only enhances the recovery some <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
