John Sheeley and Paul Sutherwood have the Pistol Probes you can only get them from the USA at the moment and as stated earlier you have to pay import tax, they are very good but I can't see the point in having a probe that detects a target at 6 inches, nine out of ten times the probe is only needed to find small items in the spoil, and most of the other probes on the market will do this very well and at half the price.
I personally like the Sunray probes that work off the detectors electronics, these discriminate aswell.

Make your own probe for less than £10.

Buy a cheap stud, cable, pipe detector from any hardware store or even that you know who site ... unless you already have one at home.

So simple to convert into a pinpoint probe as quite a few of us have discovered and quite effective as well.

The Periscope was one of the more interesting probes on the market, unfortunately even the discount price of $550 meant it didn't stay on the market to long.

Features included a 14 (might have been 16) inch hardened steel probe designed to be pushed into the ground if required, it discriminated, could be ground balanced and would direct you to the target so no real need to even dig the target if it was ferrous.

Problem, apart from the cost, was weight and bulk.
