Detector(s) used
any tector i can get my hands on
was out for a while yesterday. nice day not too hot not too cold . I was walking along swing my coil and what happens my coil falls off. just falls off didn't hit anything. the grass was so dead and dry short ? WHAT THE _ _ _ _ ? what a blade of grass knock it off ? talk about disappointment ! I was thinking of gluing it but I don't think theres enough surface area to hold it and its gluing plastic where the metal meets the plastc. anyone tried this before ? I need a good luck charm !! it a BH pioneer 101 lower rod where the plastic meets the aluminum. I tried posting pictures. need a good luck charm !! I don't think the gluing will work. does the plastic part push up into the the aluminum rod ? how far ? need another lower rod anybody got one ? thanks
 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

Treasure of Victoria Peak - Grab it through Amazon!
I feel for you, but I found a picture of how a Russian repaired his
101. Looks like he used his for a weed wacker.

He just removed the plastic and put a hole in the Aluminum and crimped it.
I would not advise this type of repair LOL

Is the connector hollow? Get a plastic toilet seat bolt. Cut off
the head Drill both sides of the plastic to fit the bolt and Epoxy it in.

The Bolts are about 3 inches long and very strong.

Kind a sounds like an AT Pro.
 

I'm the Bad Luck King! And You can fix anything for free! I know this! So here are my thoughts!

A pocket knife, and old broom handle, or even piece of stick!

Take the plastic out of the Aluminum Shaft, Widdle your wood down small enough to fit in, drill a hole (if one isn't there) and run a ziptie through(non metal, was the thought on that) or put a screw in. Take the other end, work it, drill it to hold coil. You get the idea. That is the easiest,cheapest, quickest way I can think of if everything else fails and you just want to detect! :laughing7:

Won't look pretty , but may get you through! Until you find a better solution.

I don't see glue holding either.

Time for an upgrade, White's, garrett, Minelab etc.

There a lot of good machines out there, is your birthday close? I always buy myself a birthday present. That way it's always just my size or just what I needed. And I wrap it too!
