Inline probe with ace 250

[Gramps]

Anybody used an inline probe with ace 250 or any other kind of detector? Do they replace hand held pinpointers or do you need both?

I tried detecting when it was 7 below zero, the detector worked fine plenty of targets but ran out of C4 so had to put it up for the winter.

Where I work there is a big parking lot with big snow piles that are melting down a little, found some change around them and some other stuff. Something fun to do until spring.

The site is looking great! Hope you're all having a nice winter, Gramps

Hi Gramps! Glad to see you got in.

Detecting parking lots after the snow melts is a great idea. I've always got my eyes open.

If you are talking about batteries, yeah the cold weather drains them fast.

Hi Gramps... Welcome back

If it was me... I couldn't justify buying an inline probe that costs almost as much as the detector... I would stick with a handheld... That is me...

Generally speaking the inline probes are the better probes.They use your detectors power to run them by flipping a switch. The YF-1 for the Aces are on special for 159.95. A good handheld can cost you up to that amount and won't perform as well plus you always run the risk of losing it.

I have the X-1 on my Explorer which I have only owned for about 1 month and I have found the probe to be a great tool. I like the fact that it responds exactly as a 1 inch coil with the same settings I'm using with my search coil. Helps seperate the target in the hole from iron and such.

well i bought the inline probe for my ace and gtp1350 from tony at tcmetaldetectors and i must say WOW!! big difference. its very nice to be able to get a coil into the hole you dig to check a deep target. thanks tony.
just waiting for my new grey ghost ultimate headphones to arrive. get the probe and dont look back.
