My switch went bad in this one after two hunts, like many other people had happen to them. I went to radioshack bought a new switch and a micro vibration motor. The switch itself fixed the problem but I got carried away. Made it a corded pinpointer out of a little cat5 cable and a piece of pex, this is kind of the prototype and I say that because I know my brother and father-in-law are gonna want this done
. I ended up adjusting the sensitivity, it can get a coin from over a inch away now. The switch is always on/always off switch and the vibration motor is mounted inside the pex. It really works great the only thing left is figure out a way to hang it on my detector, I'm thinking possibly velcro strapping for easy removal. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about doing this to yours go ahead and shoot.
