Whites Bullseye II 120mm Pin Pointer $119.95:
- Vibrate Mode
- Dirt Resistant On/Off Button Switch Replaced Older Toggle Bullseye I.
- Audio Mode
- Bright White LED Illuminates hole... also works well for Night Hawks and locating fallen or left tools in the grass.
- Comfortable In Hand
- Minimum Depth
- VLF Circuit
- Adjustable Sensitivity
- Comments: By far my most popular Electronic Probe with my customers. Although not deep, frequently included accessory with White's
seasonal specials or mail in offers. Once you set the Audio Level, very automatic and simple operation. Vibrate and Audio Rocker Switch
in 9 Volt Battery compartment. White's Distributors/Local Dealers have been replacing Bullseye IIs that don't hold up to the abuse as
some users like to force that probe into the soil to find the target. My customers eventually upgrade to a Garrett Pro Pointer or
Detector Pro

Vibra Probe 560 $119.95
- Automatic On/Off
- Vibrate Only
- Submersible Shallow
- Moderate Depth
- Comfortable Grip

- Rating By Trans Bay:Three Stars
Vibra Probe 580 $149.95
- Automatic On and Manual Off by Tilting
- Vibrate Only
- Submersible to 100'
- Moderate Depth improvement over 560
- Comfortable Grip

- Rating By Trans Bay: Four Stars ****
- The 580 has been just introduced and replaces the shorter lived 570. Like the 560, it is unique and you can submerge it under water which
makes it Ideal to use at the splash line in lakes such as Lake Tahoe, or at waters edge.
Treasure Mate by Tesoro $179.95
- High Frequency VLF
- Manual Tuning
- Manual Ground Balance
- Very Good Depth
- Rocker Switch
- Audio OR Vibrate Mode
- Rating By Trans Bay Three Stars ***
- Comments: Vibrate Mode can cause some failure if unit is left on and goes off constantly due to contact with Treasure Pouch/metal
targets. Best to turn it off when not in use. Lifetime Warranty is the strongest warranty. Higher than average false signaling. When
tuner is turned down enough, false signaling reduced. Ground balances like a small detector like the Falcon Series.
Pistol Probe by Detector Pro $189.95
- Pulse Induction Technology
- Adjustable Pulse Timing for preventing cross-talk and increasing sensitivity over small items
- Manual Tuning-Threshold Adjustment
- Excellent Depth on Coins and 3 grain nuggets
- Larger than average
- Wide Grip, not as comfortable as others
- Full Time Audio, Manual Audio Low, High, Silent with LED Target Light
- Trans Bay's Rating: Four Star Plus ****+
- Comments: Needs a Vibrate Mode, VCO, or Gradiant Audio as your close in on the Target like the Garrett. Still the Deepest of the
probes. Detector Probe also makes a Uni-Probe which DOES have that Gradiant Audio Approach at 279.95 which also converts to a full
blown Pulse Detector. Also the Uniprobe Headphones... same circuit that incorporates into a High Quality Detector Pro Headphone Set at
$349.95.
PRO Pointer from Garrett $150.00
- VLF Technology 12 kHz
- Ergonomically Superior to Most
- Durable Construction
- Similar button switch like Bullseye locks unit on
- Loud Audio and Vibrate Simul Signal, you can semi-mute it by placing your thumb over micro - speaker
- Scraper Blade... works great in Tan Bark
- Increasing Gradient Audio Response, Gives you an excellent sense of how close you are to target
- Depth is Excellent but falls short of the leader: Pistol Probe
- Trans Bay's Rating Five Star;
- Comment: Can't turn off audio but overall #1 in my book due to its Gradiant Target Acquisition like a Geiger Counter... beats increase
until your about 1/2" away and then flat lines. About 3xs depth of Bullseye II, Fisher F2, surpassed only by the Sun Ray Probe, and
Detector Pro Probes
Sun Ray In Line Probes $189.95 (Minelab Owners add 32.00 for Middle Rod)

- Adds some weight to Detector

- Trans Bay's Rating Four Stars Plus,
- Comments: Proprietary to the Model only. The DX-1 as an example works ONLY on the Whites DFX, M6, MXT and will not work on
other detectors. Very popular with owners of Minelab, Whites, Garrett and Fishers. Not made for Chinese Detectors and off-brands.
