Hello Garrett users,

After I saw the firefly in action in many videos and not being able to Find one for purchase, I read up and decided to attempt to make my own.

My investment was around twenty dollars and I was unsure for I do not have any experience with electronics. I went with the project as a Garrett user I am and I came up with a very nice LED signal that runs from the headphone jack. I tried it on my daughter's Bounty Hunter but it didn't work, probably because of the battery only being a 9v.

Apparently some short time ago ( HA ) my wife must have hid the camera. I will post some pics of my signaler soon.

I am open to em's if I can help any one else out.

Respectfully,
Graybar-Hotel

I tried to find a picture of one but forgot were i saw it...So what it is a little red light that plugs into your head phone jack and mounts on top of the 250 and when you find a target it flashes on...if i can find the picture i will post it for you...................==Jim_K==
