Hi Chris I looked earlier and from memory it's priced at $150 in the states , and on a German/Dutch website I found it pre order for €150 euros. I did not order one, I will wait for a UK supplier I think. The preorders were for February so shouldn't be too long to wait

Nigel at Regtons testing one soon? I have heard an American web site have them at $ 150?  If they are as good as I believe and can get a bit more depth than the present Garrett probe I would get one for sure😛 the present probe is fine for what it is designed for and probably the best on market. But a  fully waterproof probe to10 foot well I know if I had one of those when I went snorkelling in Cyprus this year it would have upped my finds rate of 1 gold chain and that was just waiving my hands to clear the sand in the shallows Wink especially  as you can not take detectors to Cyprus Wink we will see.

                                My present Garrett ProPointer is still working well after having it repaired last year and I get a little extra depth by using the trick of holding a coin against the side of the handle. If the new pointer is as good as it sounds, I may get one and keep my old one as backup.  Undecided

Thanks Dale, as I said if they are deeper than the present probe Huh or more sensitive, and the video they show of it being used under water is accurate Roll Eyes then I know I can sniff out bling on the waters edge abroad snorkelling, and will gladly show my finds at a later date Grin Grin

Just looked at the link Geoff, I can defiantly pass away hours of fun with that baby, in the shallows and as you say, more suited for the job in hand . I'm going to splash out ( pardon the pun) mite not wait till I go back abroad,so if you see a fat as sticking out of the mud at Weston it's mine  Cheesy Wink
