When the hell did you do to it? Were you all excited or pissed? Your going to have withdrawals buddy.... suck it up time!!!!
Chris, that's a metal detector, not a weed wacker! All kidding aside, I'm sorry to see you busted your machine. How did it happen? BTW, I was down in your neck of the woods this morning. I brought my boat to Action Marine to have some work done on the outboard. It's going to be costly, but I hear they do good work, and I'll be able to get back to the Quabbin for some salmon and lake trout fishing.
Earle,
Putting a SLIGHT pressure on the S rod when getting up from a kneeling position finally worked hardened it,only took 5 years.....SNAP.
OUCH!!! That's a bummer! Guess all that alternative treasure hunting during winter will come in handy.
I was afraid my detector had gone haywire Sunday when it chattered and wouldn't stop. It was really bad ground or karma, stopped when I got out of that area. I don't have a working back up either....except a pin pointer maybe.
I had to send it back last year,lost the tones,they charged me 160.00 including a new coil. I have a PI,that's for water which I don't do anymore.
