in all seriousness the ground here is so rock hard any sort of probe would have a stuggle to get into the ground. you'd have to dig and loosen the ground up just to use the thing. think i will stick to my trusty $3 plastic scoop thanks.

as for all the cartoons, thats pretty offputting.

i'm not sure if winnie the pooh appreciates a modified pic of himself showing a probe inserted up his ass either.

as for the pic showing live ammo - i sure as hell wouldn't want to be ramming a probe or anything for that matter down into the ground where there is live ammo.

nuf said.

Pinpointer size will over 8 inch

Metal Probe less than 7 inch

You might want to use correct terms to be understandable. For example the word "Pinpointer" is a generic word that refers to any metal detector used to find objects within a few inches. Your "Metal Probe" is a pinpointer. Now if you are meaning the Garrett Propointer which is the most popular selling pinpointer then it is 9" long but a lot more rugged then what yours look like.

Pinpointer on land use

Metal Probe can be underwater hunting

Some simple customisation can make a Propointer waterproof, and there are also good reputable products like the Vibroprobe on the market that are designed for underwater use.

Pinpointer can not extend to 12 inch

Metal Probe can be longer than 40 inch with ABS pole

This defeats the purpose of a pinpointer! A detector finds the target the pinpointer is only used to zoom in on its exact location. Why would I want a 40" long pinpointer??

the pinpointer can not use headphone

Metal Probe with wireless headphone

Again why? We use headphones with the detectors so we can hear faint signals. What a hassle having to take the detector headphones off and put on the pinpointer ones with each target. A completely useless idea.

the pinpointer flashlight brightness can not be adjusted

Metal Probe flashlight brightness can be adjusted for any condition

Again what's the point? If detecting in the dark I wear a headlamp anyway. Yes the Garrett Propointer has a light but it is more then powerful enough to see a target in a hole, no reason to use even more battery power.

You see the difference between your "Metal Probe" and a pinpointer like the Garrett Propointer (or the Minelab Profinder) is that these ones are designed by people knowledgeable in metal detecting, not by somebody who thinks they will just throw this or that in the design but have no idea of the hobby.

I suspect they would be more interested in the electronics which are no doubt a poor copy of someone elses product.

Vibroprobe only Vibration warning

Metal probe Communicates with:
a. buzzer alarm
b. LED light ( green for power, red for warning )
c. Vibration alarm

Note:please contact with pinpointer factory when the over length is less than 8 inch what will happen when power ON (^-^)

Pidgeon English from New Guinea area - 'Big Fella yabber yabber watch im that one'

Bring the blasted thing out here Mr Metalprobe and PROVE to us that it works - you are totally wasting your time - Is your sister by any chance a Dancing girl?

Who in Hades wants to dig and loosen three square miles of countryside before detecting and even then you have as much chance of pushing that thing into the ground as you have of pushing marbles up a Rotweillers arse with a red hot fire poker and as for it being able to hook the object out of the ground - your claims are getting more preposterous by the hour.

If you like to give us your address I will send my pen pal Wang Dong Pong to examine your wares with a view to testing it out.

Being honest I have to admit that I would genuinely like to see it in action but none of us here in Kiwiland are as gullible as the Eskimos who bought a container load of freezers to store their seal blubber in so I respectfully suggest you send your sister over to demonstrate your metal probe OR send a sample for testing or appoint a New Zealand agent.

Your persistence has to be admired but the fact that you dont seem to get the message makes me think that you are a sandwich short of a picnic, as thick as two short planks and only nineteen and eleven pence in the pound.

Do not waste of your time to write long message the real business man never send quote or order over 40 words

Probe Specification is different - sale to Asia / US / EU only dealer who run detector over 5 years can get metal probe and must pay for samples this is our business regulation

and I only talk with TradeSalon.com member face to face you konw I am very busy

Dont tell me what to do Mr Metalprobe otherwise you might find the Kempai Tai on your doorstep with the repro man to confinscate your wares for false advertising!

As for writing long messages - dont worry about it - I do the worrying on my behalf - you just sit back and relax and send your sister out with the free sample and we will all be happy.

As for the 'Real businessman' - you sure in hades are not one otherwise you would have arranged for your goods to be tested by a reliable agent in New Zealand by appointing an agent, sending one for evaluation and then sitting back to watch the profit roll in.

Now you think about this Mr Metalprobe - at the moment Garrett and other brands are selling in New Zealand like hot cakes and each one of any other brand that sells is one less potential sale for you while you sit back and waste YOUR time (not mine) trying to use high pressure sales techniques to sell your wares and making false claims into the bargain. They might be better buys than other brands but we do NOT know that until we try one to see for ourselves.

The Real Businessman also never engage in long winded diatribes - they do things the RIGHT way and sell their products SUCCESSFULLY!

So far I can see a great deal of potential for them as a utility tool - maybe a pinpointer after you have located the gold first, definitely a fish stunning electrofisher, a good vibrating pleasure device for homosexuals and dancing girls and with the hook on the end could be used for fishing unwanted buns out of the oven.
If all else fails send them to Afghanistan and sell them to the Taliban as rifle grenades or maybe convert them to parachute flares and sell to boaties.

Could be very versatile things those 'metalprobes'

Now if YOU want to be a good businessman and dont want to waste YOUR time go about things the right way...now be a good boy and go sell prawn crackers on the street corner for a year then come back and have another go at selling Metalprobes AFTER you have appointed a New Zealand agent and had them evaluated out here.

Still waiting for an answer on the above. To make it simple since long posts seem to cause you problems:

Have you ever used your "Metal Probe" yourself and if so evidence?
