Pin Pointer question
- Thread starter Maui Mike
- Start date
Hey Mike,
The Vibra-Probe pinpointer is water proof. I can't recall the depth limit tho. It will certainly help you to pin point the target once it is located via the coil. It only has a couple of inches of range tho, so you would have to have a pretty shallow target.
The unit is very sturdy tho and can take a lot of hard use. Like all electrical devices it mustn't be miss-used!!
It also will interfere with other detectors, so you would have to put your detector at least at arms reach from the unit while you are using the detector.
I hang mine on my belt on the side away from the detector.
Hope this helps.

Hey Mike,
I use the one shaped like a small club about a foot long. It is all plastic and looks like PVC pipe glued together. It is definitely not a "metal detector" because
of limited range, but an excellent pin pointer!! I'm finding the tiniest bits of metal in my sifter using it and as I am hunting the same area again and again I
am avoiding digging the same tiny targets over and over. The unit is a PI machine and works great within its range.
Any more info I can offer let me know. (I learned about the Probe from kaptainkosmic and he may have more insight for you.)
