     What an excellent opportunity for a grumpy contrarian to contribute 2 cents worth.

    The 7000 is still heavy and clumsy.

    The arm strap is still to short.

    The screens sill go bad even after being replaced and they scratch easily.

    The plastic is still cheap.

    The coil covers are specifically designed to collect dirt and break when you remove them for cleaning and are expensive.

    They have a bunch of doodadery and gismoism that 96.2% of the owners never use but paid for.

    The magic downloads turned out to be a bust.

    The 12 volt auto charger could have been made cheaper I suppose, but I don't know how.

    It cost you endless hours digging up $3 nuggets at unbelievable depths.

    I will now ban myself from this forum for 10 minutes as punishment for heresy.

    Klunker spot on prophetic ramblings could not be more off base. But make the most sense when you have to spend a grueling day in the field with him. He talks incessantly. I just pretend to take in everything he speaks in jibberish half sentences, and nod my head in accordance. 

  2. I have dealt with this somewhat. A plant, shrub, or tree root with a high water content, can run somewhat irratic. Also slow you down and have to check out some possible targets a few extra sweeps to rule them out. Lowering the sensitivity slightly helps. Along with a slow coil sweep. But in my instances, this issue seems to be more prevalent when thunderstorms are nearby. 

  3. Came across a post on Facebook, about this gentleman testing a few aftermarket coils. This really opened my eyes this morning. I was under the impression that the Minelab coils were chipped and no aftermarket coils could be used. If this was the case? Why did they wait so long? The smaller coil would suit my needs just perfectly.

  4. The pushing down the plunger, turns the magneto with many revolutions. It stores lots of volts. When the plunger bottoms out, it hits a contact plate, which sends out the charge to the detonation cord. Takes lots of volts to charge 20 holes. That could be up to a mile of det cord.

  5. Well, I'm the 1st detectorist in the USA to receive a steelPhase audio enhancement system. Hopefully the weather holds enough to give it a whirl here soon. 

    I'm not here to knock any other similar products out there. I'm just trying to make use of a new product and technology to help give me a improvement in beaten up flogged patches. Merry Christmas everyone! ???⛏️
