At a first glance the XP MI-6 looks like any normal pinpointer, it’s only when you start to dig deeper (pardon the pun) that you begin to realise that this is something rather special. The MI-6 should perhaps have been called the ‘007 probe’ as it is rather like something from James Bond’s box of tricks.
Let’s skip the part about looking sexy and cut to the chase, as I am sure you want to hear about the important points rather than waffle, and as I am sure you will agree the photos say it all.
What’s in the Box?
With the MI-6 probe comes a charging lead, a lanyard with stainless steel rings, a manual and a rotating probe pouch, which is a very good idea. As we all know when a probe is on your belt it can be very uncomfortable especially when bending down to retrieve a target. The MI-6 probe holster can be rotated through 360 degrees on a ratchet system until a suitable position is found. During testing I also found this system to be a big advantage when mounted onto a rucksack or webbing as the probe can be positioned perfectly to suit.
The probe is charged via a micro USB plug and takes about three hours to reach full capacity. It’s okay to use the XP Deus charger if you wish, but you may want to consider an independent plug if you intend charging four items at once: Deus RC, headphones, coil, and probe, at this moment in time the Deus charging lead only has three outlets. A USB phone charge plug will work fine. Once charged the LED with turn from flashing to solid. At the end of the MI-6 is a rubber sealed water proof cap which when unscrewed reveals the USB charging socket.

No More Moon Boots?
In more than four decades of detecting, the weather and varying soil conditions have all had a huge influence on the level of my enjoyment of this noble hobby.

Lost and Found?
There have been several instances over my long detecting career where, not only has it has been a delight to be able to help people who have lost things, but also a great thrill when such losses are returned to their owners. I have several memories of such occurrences.
