David Cooper in Brisbane, Australia -Received probe from USA. I live in Australia and there is nothing as good as this pinpointer Down Under!
Solid build and accurate! Making this probe Waterproof leaves the others behind. The only drawback I would say is I would prefer a depth of 2 to 3 inches instead of 1.
Overall very happy and a must have item!

Built like a tank.
David S. in CA -
Used all the others, until they broke. Either the case or the switches. This one is built solid. No switches to break. Auto on/off so it's easy to use. Pinpoints at about 1 inch which I feel is just right. I can not hunt without this probe!

Big, but good!
jimBea in S.C. -The size of it was a suprise, as it is large. It's a great unit! Saves me a lot of digging time, and helps me find more targets and gives more swinging time. No more empty holes.

Handy size and rugged but too many negatives for me
Bob D in Los Angeles -I like the Vibra-Probe's size and ruggedness and waterproof construction but I found too many negatives.
The cross-talk with my main detectors was very annoying and it has no manual switch to turn it off.
And, the depth seems, well... net so hot. One inch at best on a fresh battery and less as the battery quickly depletes. Most of the time it's about 1/2 inch which is not enough for quick pinpointing for me. The Vibra-Probe also does not detect all metals. It can't detect my metal watch band, for example. Yet, other pinpointers can.
I would say the Vibra-Probe would be a good choice for wet work. But, I would choose another pinpointer for normal everyday use.

Vibra-Probe. Now can't live without it!
Tommy T. in California -I bought a Vibra-probe and once I started using it I was hooked. Easy to use. No adjustments. I'm no longer sifting and searching. Instead I just poke around and within seconds find the target. It's sturdy and well made, and I now can't hunt without it. Great product and made in the USA.

Tried a bunch. Sticking with this one
Digitaltim in Ct, USA -I've had a couple Wizards, the Tinytec, Automax, and the Treasuremate. I now have the Vibraprobe 560 and I'm keeping it. I'd say the Wizard is a best buy at around $15. Other than the Treasuremate, all these pinpointers work the same /equally well. The treasure mate was a little more complicated to me (too sensitive). The Vibraprobe - An inch of detection depth is all I'm looking for when the target isn't in the hole. No controls to mess with, just point it up and go. turns off by itself / waterproof..........I'm all set.

Lots of good features but little depth
Ed Erdman in Janesville, WI. USA -
Positives: Simple to use no switches to mess with, floats, PI so works in salt water as well as land and fresh water beaches, vibration only so as not to attract unwanted attention, pulses become stronger as it gets closer to target, only vibrates when tip is pointed at target (not when the side is near the target).
Negatives: Simply lacks depth. An inch or just slightly more is the best you are going to get with this.
I bought one as my first pinpointer and liked it a lot then. Since then I've gotten used to other pinpointers that go a lot deeper (3" typically) such as the Treasure Mate and the Sunray X-1 probe. Now I find that an inch just doesn't cut it when pinpointing for me anymore. It's a great probe, I just want more power.
