Tiger Shark Owners, Are you using the upgraded nylon coil hardware?

[Sandman]

I wonder how many Tiger Shark owners are using the upgrade Black Nylon 1/4" inch bolt and wing nut to replace the metal one. Always made me wonder why a coil that was to find metal would have a metal bolt and brass nut so close to the coil. Tesoro was offering them free. When I reassembled my Tiger Shark after it's return from the factory it was still acting up. After I changed the bolt to the nylon upgrade, all is now well with the unit.

I've always had nylon bolts installed on all my detectors, land and water as I think it improves performance. I once looped a wire on my brother in law's coil to his detector before we went out. Took him nearly and hour to figure it out.......................LOL

When I sent my Tiger Shark back last month, in what Im now calling the "Great Tiger Shark Screwup" - James asked f I had the new hardware.
"Uh, the new what? No, I have some nylon bolt in there. I dont know where it came from..."

They sent a new one, gratis. MY T-Shark is still a tad oversensitive, but I set it that way on purpose. I like to run on the edgy side - thats how I roll, baby!

I also hear some people drill out there coils and rods for the Garrett hardware, too.

Mine came with a cheasy thin nylon bolt, I drilled mine out a couple of months ago and installed the Garrett coil bolt. So far so good.

Sandman, does your tiger shark work relatively well inland? For coins, jewelry, relics, etc.? I am still undecided wheather to get a tiger shark because I live about 75 miles from the beach, or should I just get a cortez and use it inland only? thanks for the advise

 

[Sandman]

I answered your PM. Yes it will work fine inland too.

I would have thought everyone went to Nylon by now.

On the coil wire, I'm surprised the number of times
I saw a newbie with the wire hanging down to the ground,
or pulled up with ties but not wrapped. one guy asked me
if he had to cut it to size I sure would have felt bad if he had
taken it upon himself to do that.
