There's plenty there already Paul it might be difficult to tell yours Cheesy
There are plenty of YouTube vids about them but here's a couple of recent ones from the UK
You need to go to 8 minutes 40 secs for just the probe

Now  IF I wasn't aqua phobic even I might be tempted by one of them.  They're not much more than a Garrett pin pointer and could be much more fun in the Summer.
Alas, it's not to be.  I panic if I get under the shower never mind in the waves. Roll Eyes

I see that Garrett havnt moved the speaker from the original position so it will still fill up with mud within a very short time. Is this just a rehoused version of the original?
I would have thought that garrett would have looked at the speaker position on the Makro, which is much more sensible placed on the cap end.

I agree with you Ian on the speaker position, I cover the speaker on mine with a bit of tape and although you do lose a bit of  volume.
It's still loud enough, and it keeps the speaker free from mud.

I've now used the new Garrett Pro-pointer AT (nicknamed the Garrett Carrot) for two outings, it's not just a re-hash of the old pro-Pointer, they've improved all aspects, the speaker has just been mentioned, it appears they have made the speaker grill larger and also now solid so nothing can get through therefore when it does get mud in it simply pop it in the sink. The speaker on the Makro is in the end facing straight up and will also get mud into it (already happened). On/off switch all new and better rubber cover, vibrate is stronger, not sure how they've done that as the old vibrate was already good, 3 different sensitivities with either sound on or off, the highest sensitivity is more powerful than previous PP, personally I turned it back down as you don't normally need more sensitivity, it's orange....... it has a lanyard attachment and it's waterproof in any orientation. £124.95 due Feb.
