Phoenix and anyone else in AU, did the Lexan skid plate impact the performance of the GPZ?

Thanks,

Bill

No Bill I don`t believe the polycarbonate has degraded the performance of any of the coils I`ve fitted the stuff too.

The first day I used the 19" after fitting the lexan I got this piece. It goes 0.06 gram

Norvic, I understand the improvement in "ease of detecting", but does the Lexan skid plate reduce detecting depth or signal strength compared to a standard thickness skid plate from ML?  I've never made a skid plate before, so after spending $$$$ for this new coil, I don't want to negatively impact it's depth performance (up to 40% deeper than the 14" coil).

Getting it amongst the grass close to ground and close to rocks etc without "bump" signals etc logically adds to depth & signal strength. Thus a big impact of a positive nature. I doubt it has any negative impacts, but that would depend on the individual assessment mine is all positive.
