Q1-a.
What is a pinpointing metal detector?
A1-a.
A pinpointing metal detector is a miniature version of your primary detector that is small enough to fit in any hole or crevice you are searching.
Q1-b. Why do I need one?
A1-b. You don't have to spend 5 minutes (or more) retrieving a target.
You don't have to dig a larger then necessary hole for a target that is near the surface.
You don't have to walk away from a possible valuable find because it took too long to retrieve it.
You will be amazed how your recovery time is reduced.
Q2.
Why should I choose the Vibra-Probe 570TM over other Pinpointers?
A2.
For the following reasons:
- Uses pulse induction. This allows you to detect in salt water or black sand.
- Fully automatic. No buttons to push or knobs to turn.
- Strong enough to really probe the soil without breaking.
- Water-proof. When it gets muddy you can just wash it off. It can operate under water to a depth of 30 feet.
- It indicates the distance from its tip to the target. For example, when it detects a target at a distance of about 1.5 to 2.0 inches it
gives one pulse of vibration. As the tip of the probe gets closer to the target the number of pulses of vibration increase.
- It comes with its own holster and the battery is included.
Q3.
How would I use the Vibra-Probe 570TM once I located a target?
A3.
If you are hunting in a park and find the target with
your main detector you should be able to pinpoint it to within a 6 inch circle. Once you
determine the approximate depth (some detectors have this capability) dig to the approximate
level where you will use the probe to pinpoint it. Push the tip of the probe toward all sides of the hole.
If you pick up 1 pulse of vibration you know your target is approximately 1 to 2 inches away.
Use your digging tool to loosen the dirt behind the target and push the probe in deeper.
The number of pulses of vibration will increase telling you that you are closer. When
the number of vibrations is the full pulse stream, you are touching it. The Vibra-Probe 570
tells you the distance from the tip to the target.
Q4.
What's different between the Vibra-Probe 570TM and the older 560?
A4.
The 570 has all the features of the older models and more! We've incorporated new detection
ciruitry that detects deeper, maintains detection depth throughout the life of the battery and
is more sensitive to targets. Other features include a low battery alert, improved hardware and a re-designed
heavy duty holster.
Q5.
Can the Vibra-Probe 570TM be used under water?
A5.
Yes! It has been designed to work at depths of up to 30 feet.
Q6.
What's the advantage of the Vibra-Probe 570TM if I don't water hunt?
A6.
The Vibra-Probe 570 is waterproof. As such, when covered in dirt or mud it can be completely submersed for cleaning.
It can be used in wet sand at the beach. Also the salt water won't affect it because it uses Pulse Induction technology for detecting.
Q7.
At what distance will the Vibra-Probe 570TM detect a target?
A7.
Detection depth on a coin sized target is up to 2", and even deeper on large objects. Since it does not detect from the sides as other
models do it 'really' pinpoints the target! It will even tell you how close the target is from the tip.
The number of pulses of vibration increases the closer you are to the target.
Q8.
Can the Vibra-Probe 570TM be used for gold hunting?
A8.
The Vibra-probe 570 will detect a gold nugget that is about 7 grain or larger. It is used by many
gold hunters. They find it useful for locating junk targets quickly allowing them to move on to the real target.
Q9.
At what distance will the Vibra-Tector 730TM detect a target?
A9.
Detection depth on a coin sized target is up to 3", and even deeper on large objects. The Vibra-Tector 730 utilizes a 4" coil
and detects in a cone shape like most other detectors.
Q10.
Can the Vibra-Tector 730TM be used under water?
A10.
Yes! Its unique sealed design allows you to detect in any environment including fresh or
salt water to depths of 30 feet, making the Vibra-Tector 730 great for Divers or the Beach.
