The DetectorPro UniProbe combines metal detecting headphones with a pulse induction recovery probe, so one toggle switch on the headset moves you between hearing your detector and hearing the probe. It suits experienced coin and relic hunters who recover many targets and prefer everything through their headphones.

Key features of the DetectorPro UniProbe
- Pulse induction probe: DetectorPro describes the probe as a small pulse induction motion metal detector that is constantly retuning, built for harsh conditions such as heavily mineralized dirt, where VLF probes have difficulty.
- Depth: DetectorPro quotes 2 to 4 inches as common on coin-size targets, and more on larger ones. Most of the time you hear the target as soon as you open the plug.
- Instant switching: flip the toggle switch on the headset to hear only the probe, and flip it back to hear only your detector. There are no probe buttons to push, no waiting for the probe to switch on, and no moving a headphone to the side.
- Private audio: the probe sounds only in your headphones, so nobody nearby hears it beeping.
- Waterproof probe and cable: both can go fully into salt or fresh water. The headphones are not waterproof.
- Built in the USA.
Connection versions
The UniProbe connects to your detector through its own plug, and DetectorPro designs it to work with all major brand metal detectors. We offer it in these versions: XP DEUS II, Nokta detectors, Minelab EQUINOX, Minelab CTX 3030, Garrett AT series (2-pin) and a standard 1/4 inch stereo plug. Choose the one that matches your detector before you order.
Where the DetectorPro UniProbe works, and its limits
Heavily worked sites where you dig target after target are where the UniProbe earns its place. At an old farmstead, the probe helps locate a deep coin in an opened hole without repeatedly putting the headphones on and taking them off. The common mistake is assuming the entire system is waterproof: the probe and cable are waterproof, but the headphones are not. For someone who wants a simple cordless handheld probe, we would recommend the Garrett PRO-Pointer AT.
