Don't let your beagle pup anywhere close to your detector....not unless you want the cable chewed through.
Went out with my stepson yesterday to hunt a school yard that had been around since 1871...walked all over the place...didn't have one chirp. I thought it was strange anyways due to the amount of pull tabs that were probably just under the surface...but it didn't hit me until I swung it over a piece of pipe sticking out of the ground and not one BEEP. After replacing the batteries, I tested it on some pocket change...still nothing. I got to looking over the cable and about midway down, I seen the little bite marks and almost completely severed wire.
Little Satie was not top on my list last night. But...I should have made sure that she couldn't have gotten to it in the first place. Big lesson learned.
Any chance I could splice the wires back without ruining anything? Granted its only a Treasure Hunter All Vision Pro that I'm working with until tax time, it still beeps when it finds metal!
