I got my Fisher 1236x2 yesterday and I'm very happy with it except that I scrapped the Nylon bolt and wing nut that holds the search coil in place.
Anyway, I did my best to locate a plastic bolt and nut (toilet seats etc) but ended up having to buy a metal bolt and wing nut.
Now, I have not noticed any difference detecting objects (coins, radiators etc) in the air, or so it seems, but I was wondering whether anyone had some better insight into this and whether it will actually make a difference.
I presumed the theory was that since the MD has to be in motion to detect a target, and since the bolt/nut are as one with the search coil, it wouldn't make a difference.
Your thoughts, please.
