I also use a SunRay inline probe on my DFX,its a quality item and should last a lifetime,only down side its teathered to just the one machine and that is its biggest downfall if you can call it one.
Just bought a UniProbe once again that is the one with the PI electronics mounted in the headphones,not used it yet but have always wanted to try one,so after doing alot of research and homework on this Probe i finally decided to hit the 'BUY' button,expensive 'yes' especially when importing one from the US across the pond to the UK,but should last years and the biggest bonus is that it can be used on most machines.But i mainly wanted to hook it upto my Pulse machine for deep hoard hunting and i am pretty certain in saying that the UniProbe is probably the deepest one going,of course i stand to be corrected.
For everyday use the Garrett PP is the all time favourite but i always have a Whites BullsEye as a backup just incase,but the main feature of the Garrett is the way the sound increases the nearer the target,i will agree that other's have the same facility but the Garret just ticks the boxes for everyday use.
I would be totally lost without a pinpointer probe these days,of course years ago i had to use the traditional method but in my mind a probe is a vital part of detecting equipment.
Of course no single probe as yet is perfect or ticks all the boxes but over the last few years a few very good ones including waterproof ones have appeared from Europe,this can only mean good news for us detectorists.

and I got to keep the old one! I think Makro and Nokta share technology also, some of the sounds it makes are the same too, like when you change sense etc. Reason will tell you that at some point, it's going to be raining and your going to want to detect. Or, you're going to be walking by the edge of some water and start thinking; Wonder what could be in there? AND the most important part of pinpointers.........for godssakes, stay completely away from a Chinese pointer co. called "Metal Probe".......... you would be better off wearing a tinfoil hat and poking the ground with a coat hanger.
