LRP repair

[Rick K]

With shipping time, it looks like First Texas took maybe two days to diagnose, fix and notify. Pretty different than all the stuff being posted about Minelab repairs taking months currently.

I have sandwich bags for the clad..
They got it on a Friday and it was shipped back the next Thursday. I call that pretty good

Got the LRP back and got a chance to test it out. What a difference having a good pinpoint button makes. If you are having issues I suggest sending it in. New button is effortless and works every press.

Great to hear man. Glad they fixed it up.

Hunter you wouldn't believe the difference.. It's like a whole different machine now

Nice. I will be getting another one soon. I miss it and it is one detector I truly regret selling. Yeah I have my T2 and a Gold Bug and a F19 yadda yadda....

But the LRP is just in a league of it's own for the price. Going to use it as my main backup..and probably do quite a few more videos with it. Maybe play the "Reunited" song in my intro lol

I read were others bought a little rubber half sphere that have adhesive on the flat part and stick them on on the pin pointing touch pad switch.

If you have time, check out this thread on Tnet

Loco I tried that and it worked "ok" but it eventually got worst. By worst I mean it would turn my volume up.. Lol but now there's no issue and easy to use

You will not regret going back to the LRP Hunter.

The only thing I regret is selling it lol...no other detector comes close under $300.

I think back to our conversations before you bought the LRP, and I remember saying that there are better and higher priced units, but it's the "fun factor" that can't be beat on the LRP. I have more fun detecting with my LRP after already owning Garrett's, Tesoro's, Fisher's and Minelab's.(Though Tesoro's are a close second). There's just something about a big, easy to read screen on a light, easy to swing all day detector that feels good and has a hard time saying "that's enough for the day".

I kind of laugh at the people who say "I bought a LRP and when it said Gold, it was Junk". What's funnier is when they buy a $700 machine, and when it says Gold, they dig Junk.

At any price, it's knowing your detector and how to use it.

Not surprised to hear that FT took such good care of you. I damaged my the membrane of my 3300 while disassembling it to secure a loose speaker. They fixed it for free knowing as much and knowing I bought it used at a pawn shop ten years ago. They called it a courtesy repair. I call it the best service in the industry. I just bought a LRP and so far I really like it.

You will gain 1.5 to 2 inches on coin size targets if you hunt in all metal mode. I had one, one of the best bangs for the buck. I only hunt with DD coils and my LRP came with one. GL & HH
