Product Features

Communicates with vibration
The Vibra-Probe signals with pulses of vibration when a target is located.

Pulse Induction Technology (PI)
For superior hunting in salt water and black sand.

Detection depth stability
Advanced electronic circuitry maintains detection distance throughout the life of the battery.

Target direction
The Vibra-Probe detects at the tip only, not along the shaft, enabling precision target pinpointing.

Target distancing
As you get closer to the target the pulses of vibration will increase in quantity.

Automatic tuning
Microprocessor design requires no adjustments.

Waterproof to 100 ft (30m)
Sealed design is submersible to a depth of 100 ft.

Powering On & Off

Power on
Point the probe tip up for at least one second. Two short pulses of vibration indicate the probe is on.

Power off
After use, point tip up for at least one second. Two long pulses of vibration indicate the probe is off.

Automatic off: The detector will automatically turn off one minute after last detection pulse. Turn off is indicated by two long pulses of vibration.

Low battery auto-off
When the battery is low the unit will shut down automatically indicated by four long pulses.

Before submerging detector make sure the battery compartment seal is secure.

Use only high quality batteries such as alkaline or nickel metal hydride (NiMH).

Battery Installation

Battery Compartment Seal
This detector uses an expansion plug to seal the battery compartment. When the knob of the seal is rotated clockwise, the rubber in the plug expands and presses against the inside wall of the battery compartment, sealing the unit.

Opening the Compartment
To open the battery compartment, rotate the knob of the seal counter-clockwise a few turns to reduce the expansion, then pull to remove.

Connecting the Battery
Connect a standard 9-volt battery to the battery clip and insert the battery into the detector, clip side first.

Sealing the Compartment
To replace the seal, insert it fully into the battery compartment. Then turn the knob clockwise until hand tight to assure a water-tight seal.

Detecting a Target

The Vibra-Probe communicates through pulses of vibration. The pulses of vibration increase in quantity the closer the probe tip is to the target.

The quantity of pulses is proportional to the target size and distance. The bigger the target, or the closer the probe tip is to the target, the higher the pulse count.

Probe the soil in different locations until you detect the target. The Vibra- Probe detects targets at the tip only. This allows you to precisely locate the target.

The probe communicates its proximity to the target only one time per detection. Move the probe tip slightly away and then re-approach the Made in USA target to get the next detection.

Important Notes

• The Vibra-Probe is a robust unit. However, it should not be used as a pry-bar or digging tool.
• Continuing to hold the Probe pointed up after turn on allows hunting in a vertical position if desired.
• False detections may occur if the coil of your primary detector is too close to the Vibra-Probe.

Helpful Hints

• As with any new detector, you should practice with known targets to develop your searching technique.
• Use the included holster to carry your Vibra- Probe on your belt so it’s always at the ready.
• If your primary detector indicates that the target is near the surface, probe the surface before digging. To locate deeper targets, loosen the ground with a suitable digging tool before using the probe.
• When hunting in a lawn, rather than digging a large hole, insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the ground from several angles to push the grass and roots aside to form a slot large enough to insert the probe. Then probe the sides of the slot to locate the target.

Product Care

• Your Vibra-Probe is a sensitive electronic instrument. Although it is rugged, care in transporting and handling will extend its life and result in optimum performance.
• When the Vibra-Probe is off there is no drain on the battery. However, if stored for long periods of time, we recommend that the battery be removed to prevent damage to the detector due to a potential battery leak.
• If water has entered the battery compartment carefully wipe dry and leave open until completely dry.
