The Treasure Products Vibra-Probe 585 is a pulse induction pinpointer that finds your target by silent vibration, with no buzzer and no light. That makes it the ideal backup probe for a primary detector, because the vibration never competes with the audio in your headphones, and it is just as at home underwater, where it is submersible to 100 feet. It detects at the tip only, not along the shaft, so you pinpoint the exact spot fast. Pulse induction keeps it stable in any ground, including wet salt sand and black sand, and a belt holster is included so it rides on your hip until you need it. It is one of the most practical pinpointers for both land and water recovery.

Why detectorists and divers choose the Vibra-Probe 585
- Silent by design. It signals with pulses of vibration only, so it never interferes with the headphone audio from your main detector, and it works underwater where sound is useless.
- Tip-only detection. It senses at the probe tip, not along the shaft, so you pinpoint the exact target location instead of chasing a broad signal.
- Submersible to 100 feet. The sealed body handles rain, mud, and fresh or salt water, so it doubles as a dive probe.
- Pulse induction in any ground. PI ignores mineralization, staying stable in wet salt, black sand, and dirt.
- Battery-saving design. Tilt-on and tilt-off plus a one-minute automatic shutoff extend battery life and speed up recovery, with no fragile push button to fail.
- Carry-ready. Includes a belt-mountable holster, and the 9V battery changes without tools.
How the Vibra-Probe 585 is used
As a backup pinpointer on land
When your main detector flags a target, the Vibra-Probe pinpoints it fast at the tip. Because it signals by vibration rather than sound, you feel the hit without any beep fighting the audio in your headphones, which is exactly what a coin and relic hunter wants for a clean, quiet recovery.
Diving and the beach
Sealed to 100 feet, it recovers coins, jewelry, and small targets on dives, snorkels, and in the surf. Pulse induction shrugs off wet salt and black sand, and the silent vibration works when audio would be lost underwater. Pair it with scoops and diving tools for faster recovery.
