Probably not the best place to post, but consider this my home and need to commiserate Driving to Clearwater Beach Wednesday morning, the tailgate on my F150 fell open and out rolled my black net, string backpack with numerous metal detecting items: 2 pointers (Garrett Propointer II , Vibra Pro 585), gray waterproof windbreaker, the battery back-up battery pack for my CTX 3030, waterproof rain pants, yellow inflatable snorkeling vest, duct tape, headlamp, valuables pouch and belt, a side pouch of brown leather, several pairs of gloves…you get the point. Contacted various police stations and highway patrol, looked at various reporting sites such as Craig’s list. It’s gone…cry, cry.
Already bought a new Pointer; this time a Fisher Pulse, so that it will work in salt water. One of my major gripes about the other Pointers that I’ve had is that the simply don’t work well in salt water and even work poorly in very wet (salty) sand. These previous Pointers are VLF machines running around 12k Hz. Time to try a PI Pointer.
And, about to order another CTX 3030 battery pack. The Pointer and battery pack are critical items I need NOW to make MDing more fun and efficient. Nothing worse than not being able to find a small item in the sand or running out of juice in the middle of a hunt far from home. I stand corrected — Nothing worse than losing your MDing backpack on the way to a hunt and ending up spending the day hunting for the backpack that is never found. Happy Hunting
