Not an electronic probe, but like a scredriver, I would like to see how it is done.

I went to this link and the entire page is in French. I thought that I might be able to find a video, but never did.
TF, that is a good question and I have been wondering about probes myself. Currently I use either a pocket knife or a large screwdriver which I have ground smooth. Since I cannot find an icepick I think I will get a scratch awl and dull the point. I could still use some "pointers" on how to use a pointer!

Myself, I use them about like a skinny digger.
I'll pinpoint with the machine, and then stab
the X with the probe, and usually wallow it
forwards and backwards to cut a narrow notch,
and then I flip the sod up using the probe as a
lever.
It kind of erupts the soil up kind of like a mini
earthquake, and hopefully the target is within
the range of my pinpointer. It usually is..
I then just grab it or dig it out with the probe, and
then tamp the soil back down.
If I need to go left or right to find the target,
I'll wallow a notch left/right.
Now, others probably use them in different
methods, and there is no really "right" way
to do it, as long as you are finding the goody.
Whatever works for you...
Some try to flip the coin up out of the notch,
but I usually am not able to do that. The gumbo
around here pretty much has a kung fu grip on
coins, etc. So you have to kind of dig em out.
I use my pinpointer to find the coin in the notch
almost 99% of the time. Pinpointer spoiled I am..
If mine breaks, I'll have to get another.. I oughta
buy me a backup..
