There is described an Eddy current probe for non-destructive testing, comprising: a first leg extending along a first longitudinal axis between a first proximal end and a first distal end; a second leg extending along a second longitudinal axis between a second proximal end and a second distal end; a high magnetic permeability body extending at least partially between the first and second longitudinal axes, the high magnetic permeability body being spaced apart from the first and second legs by a gap and the high magnetic permeability body and the first and second legs being each made of a high magnetic permeability material; and at least one excitation coil each secured to at least one of the first leg and the second leg.
