It's a little cumbersome... another wire hanging there, and pushing the VCO pinpoint button while waving around the probe isn't a cinch either. Acrobatics aside, it's awesome at finding that lost stuff in the hole. Got me a 56 dime on edge at the side of an 8" hole I probably would have given up on, and made finding those pesky nails in the hole walls a snap! This is one GREAT probe, and I recommend it to any CZ user who digs deep holes. Made it easy to pick out coins from around big roots where you couldn't plug deep. You know the times where you plug, and damned if there isn't a 2" diameter root right smack in the middle of the hole? Well dig out a little dirt on each side of the root, shove the probe in there and voila... there's the target and you can easily extract it without damaging it, as you know almost EXACTLY where it is. I tried the vibraprobe, and it just wasn't doing what I wanted. THIS probe does what I want, and I was getting 3-4" depth on quarter size targets. The other place this did well was on shallow coins in rocky soil and gravel... you know where you can't probe? This will pinpoint right on. Made recovery a breeze. Other than that, I don't know that it saved me any recovery time, but prbably will the more I get used to using it, and is definitely a time saver on deep targets. Hope this helps anyone who has thought about getting a pinpointer of some kind. Don't waste your money on anything BUT one of these.
