Hey there Gabby,
Yes, I did a review a few years ago for the G1 Sunray probe on a Garrett 2500.
Where abouts are you?

Hi Steve
I live in Yorkton, SK
I have a GTI 2500 with the SunRay Probe.
The probe is a great addition for this detector.
The pics are missing from your review....do you still have them?
Thanks
Gabby

SUN RAY INVADER GI-1 TARGET PROBE FIELD TEST REPORT
SunRay's new Invader GI-1 Inline Probe on a 2500
Posted by: gabe (24.103.158.---)
Date: August 14, 2005 03:42PM
Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity of meeting and hunting with Minelab buddies. And while we've always played up the detector brand rivalry, the truth of the matter is that under some conditions the Garrett shines and does more than hold it's own, and on other occasions, they've whooped my butt. All in good fun.
If there was one thing I was always envious about, it was the Sun Ray inline probes they always sported on their machines. As Nimrod from Michigan once told me as he demonstrated the probe one afternoon, "This probe is one of the best things about a Minelab... it's worth getting a Minelab if only to be able to use this probe."
Being familiar with it's use on the Minelabs, when Sunray first announced that their Invader GI-1 inline probe was available for the Garrett GTI Series early this summer, I jumped at the chance to get one on my machine and ordered one immediately. I've had it on and have been using it all season. Yesterday, I took a camera out with me to show you what Nimrod showed me a few years ago.
Come on, lets go detecting!
I've been eyeing this place for awhile. It is an old town hall built at the turn of the last century. When I drove past last week, and saw the road construction, that clinched it. We've had hot, hot weather this summer and the ground has been powder dry. With a little bit of rain in the last couple days, I'm hoping that the coins are gonna target a little better than they have in the last several weeks
The first signal. Apologies for some of the pics as I am trying to juggle a camera and the detector. I see I cut this one off, but it is a good read, ringing high in the silver range, image locked on to coin size at 6"
Typically, I am looking for old coins. I hunt in ZERO DISCRIMINATION working my way slowly from target to target, sweeping several times over each one and listening closely. If I am getting an interesting signal, I'll often move around 90

Hey Gabby!
Gotta say, I get a hoot out of Corner Gas. That just down the road from you?
I still had that review on file, and reposted it below. I see you're also running a 2500 with this probe, would you concur?
HH!

Hi Steve
Thanx for the pics!!
Yes I'm running the GTI 2500 with the G1 probe and I love it! I'm still learning but it has been making short work out of digging.
I've heard Corner Gas has only 1 more season.....The series takes place about an hour south of Regina so about 3 Hours from Yorkton.
Great review and thanx for the pics.
