After the leak repair, off for a trash throwdown. Oops, dropped atpro one too many times. No biggy, I'm off and running, although not pretty.

This seems to be holding up okay, I just gotta baby it. Someday I will take care of this in a better way.

Did you get ahold of Garrett? They have awesome customer service and would probably take care of you.

Have a feeling that it won't exactly be water proof anymore. :/

I dropped it a million times. The last time I dropped it onto soft turf and the posts finally popped. But it's really all my fault, I have a pound of counterweights on the cuff end, and I have a custom brain box mount tube, so it's not the same as factory set up. But still, the plastic is not tough enough, and the design is not robust enough, in my opinion. But I love the frikkin thing and I will keep on using it until it craps out for good.

I spent three hours doing a trash throwdown today, dug about a million targets without any problems at all. I am working on a better "fix" for this I just have to think about it a bit more.
