Gary phoned me recently asking for a brief narrative about myself and my business Surfscanner Detector’s. Explaining that he was putting together another of his very popular newsletters, and he would like to highlight some of his dealers in it. Let me give it a go at trying to describe me, and Surfscanner Detector’s.

In 1998 I became acquainted with Eric Foster of England. This relation was the start of Surfscanner Detector’s. At this early stage, Surfscanner Detector’s was involved in manufacturing and supplying custom made PI detectors. Initially my focus was toward beach and water detecting. During this early time, I had purchased a Headhunter Wader for my personal use. I was impressed with the innovative concept of the detector, the quality, and the performance of the unit. In short time I phoned Gary at DetectorPro, and asked about becoming a dealer of his products. DetectorPro was the first commercial detector line that Surfscanner Detector’s brought into its product set up. It was the start of a very good business relationship between dealer, and manufacture.

From those early day’s of Surfscanner Detector’s start up it has progressed a little bit larger, and we now are a multi-line dealer, covering both water, beach, and land hunting. What started as a small expansion of my metal detecting hobby has turned into a full line business.

Now if I can just find a "tad" bit more time to go detecting.

I hunted a park for a little bit one day last week and can honestly say the probe is what you claimed and more. I had a signal at 9-7 inches and was able to roughly pinpoint it with the detector. I dug a plug and got down about 5 inches and turned on the probe. WOW!!!! I not only was able to accurately pinpoint it (still another 3 inches down), but was able to avoid a lot of additional digging as I new exactly where the coin was even though it was still 3 inches down.

I found that on several coins that were showing 2-5 inches, I was able to pinpoint without even digging. This made popping the coins out with a screwdriver very easy and almost a joy. I was actually smiling at how greatly improved my detecting experience was now that I had such a wonderful tool.

All I can say is THANKS for making what we needed. Funny thing is I asked one dealer about something like this a while back and his comment was "It isn't suppose to pick up more than an inch away… That is why it is a probe and not a detector…" Obviously the guy did not see the irony in his comment, nor the business potential. I would, and will be ordering another one (I always keep a spare around) as a backup and a loner for my hunting buddies.

Thanks again Gary!!!!

I was visiting my wife's aunt in Vermont this past weekend and found 2 great coins. A 1853 & 1849 one cent piece. If it hadn't been for my new Pocket Uniprobe I may have missed the 1853 since it was in a hole about 9 inches with 2 nails. Kept looking and there she was!!! I use a Minelab Explorer II detector and really like the results I am getting with your probe. I do have a few suggestions though...

1. A louder speaker for near road or noisy conditions.
2. A square upper part so the Velcro sticks better and the probe doesn't fall off.

Other than that.. It's A KEEPER. Great for doing old cellars with large rocks for foundations... Look in between the rocks for hidden treasure. Sometimes I don't even pinpoint with my detector if its a shallow item... Just use the probe to find it... And it's quicker that way. Well enough for now... Thanks for a great product... OH! One more thing... I accidently left my Black Widows on the trunk of my car one day and drove off to never see them again... I now have your Jolly Roger Ultimates and they are great too.

Sincerely,
