Garrett ProPointer, hands down, theres nothing better
Here is a probe a good friend made for me. The golf ball makes it very easy to handle/control. Slides right into my new finds bag (right where a pencil would fit). The probe fits perfect.
Forum member Janster hooked my son and I up with these! Thank you Jan.
Stick it in the ground then you blow on the top. If it hums there is a coin within 5 feet. 10 if it's raining.
This is also a pretty good video about coin popping and other "sensitive area" MDing techniques. Video

Looks like a watering probe found at any garden shop, lowe's, home depot etc., real cheap item too. Guess I'll take one of mine apart and use it for this!
Do a search for 'Easy Coin Probe'. I show how to make one.
Gauntlet,
Great ideas !
#1...Have you noticed any difference in sensitivity between fiberglass and brass rods ?
#2...How long is your probe shaft after insertion into the golf ball ?
#3...Nice job welding the steel washer ! Did you use Stick or MIG ?
Thanks
