Sun-Ray Target Probe and Omega 8000?

[david1962hd]

I think I already know the answer to this question but here goes anyway.
Is there a Sun-Ray target probe for the Omega 8000?

I don't think so. Get a Garret Pro Pointer, trust me, it's Absolutely incredible and durable and weatherproof. I can't say enough.

That's just what I thought and after a bit more research "No Dice".
I have the "Garret Pro Pointer" and added the string and washer trick to make it go a little deeper, and as stated above NO DOUBT its incredible. THANKS.

What is the "the string and washer trick"?

 

[reltolbert]

A string is attached to the washer and to the Garrett Pro Pointer handle with tape or whatever. Slide the washer along the handle
shaft towards the front and when you hear the chirping start, back off slightly until the chirping stops.
Hold washer in place and now you have about doubled the sensitivity of the Pro Pointer.

Ain't no joke thats for sure, I have been doing it for the last 6 months or so and it almost doubles the depth. Try it for yourself and I'm sure you will love it.

Could I get a pic of the pointer rigged up
And why the string?

 

[reltolbert]

The string is attached to the washer so it's ready to use without fumbling for
it in your pocket(s). I personally use a small coin (penny, nickel, dime) which
will work the same way except I fumble for one in one of my pockets.
Up to 4" depth for a coin and greater depth for a larger metal object in the ground.

But I still ain't sure I believe it.

Go to the modifications forum and see the video on this. That's where I learned about it. About halfway down on page 2 you will find it.
