Detector(s) used
Xterra 70 6" 7.5khz concentric 9" 7.5Khz concentric, 5x10 18.75Khz DD, 10.5 18.75Khz DD.
I've been thinking about ordering a Herke off of Steve. I noticed the stock plastic one is very pliable and I can see this aftermarket aluminum making a big difference; Opinions from you guys that have one?
 

Here's a real inexpensive and easy repair.
The fix is near the end of the video.
 

Thanks EQ8. Iā€™ve seen that video before. Mine is not broken and I have never broke a detector in 50 years. But the NOX cuff just seems week so I was just looking for an alternative.
I found one on eBay for $25+ shipping so about $27. Something for $59 plus shipping ? is nice but a little hard when your on SS.

I haven't broke mine I dont see it as a issue and I am hard on my equipment, I wouldn't worry till its time...
 

Iā€™ve also heard the XTerra will work and is stronger but I did a lot of searching but couldnā€™t find.

I would also vote for the Herke cuff but TBH.....it was expensive as all get out but it is a very stout piece.

I agree but if you were on Social Secretary like I am that a big chunk out of my check at $60+ shipped.
 

I just compared the difference between a metal cuff and the OEM cuff.
metal. 8.61 oz
OEM. 4.07
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
difference 4.54 oz more.
That actually helps in offsetting the coil as a counterbalance.

O- - -K that different. Very nice.
i like the better view of the screen.
that looks comfortable especially if the cuff and handle can be moved back for adjustments.

Iā€™m in on that one.

I'm sure that's very budget friendly.....:laughing7:
 

I find the stock cuff perfectly fine myself, I do have a lead relic that fits into the top of the shaft and counterbalances better, but Iā€™ll only use it if Iā€™m going to swing a large area and even then I use a detector buddy so I can let go of the machine when Iā€™m digging targets.

Yea right , lol , I found one like it on some sale site $100. Lol. Also it seams it would be bulky using it .

Doing all that ?.. Thatā€™s why I have Steveā€™s carbon fiber shaft. It has a counter weight that screws into the back of the shaft with a cap on it so I can add or remove the bags of shot inside. Also counter weights don't work well in the water because it works so well you canā€™t keep the coil on the bottom but it removed easily.
