    It's good to see a package from that part of the world made it to you in such good condition. 👍

    Hope you have good luck on it's big desert debut ! 

    Keep that phone charged , we're gonna want to see what you find with that Hoover coil !👍   (and maybe a review/pic of that new coil cover after you use it a while ?..)  

  2. Out of my wheelhouse I'm afraid.

    I'd post that ? on the thread that was discussing printers.

    I do remember posts of do it yourself coil covers by using epoxy by itself as a coating or to attach a piece of various plastics .  Another member uses some "super" tape attached to the coil edges IIRC. These would seem the easiest (and most likely to fit perfect) solution for hard to find or unobtainium covers.

    There is a Whites forum and some much more Whites experienced members that will probably give you a better response. 

    Have you found Steve's Guides ?

    Oh AYUH   It's today's update form Uptah Camp ! 

     Yesterday I was detecting under some bleachers on an old football practice field over in one corner of the fairgrounds,, nobody anywhere to be seen ...but then there it was . From right behind me ! 😳 "Didja find anything good ?"

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh  (then my hand stopped reaching for the bear spray.)

    And I showed him a racetrack pull tab instead..,but my finds pouch was full of clad !

    Then asked him "What's your definition of good?" my new standard answer...skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh. (He said "rings")

    I'm going back today and just dig negative #s for shits and grins..

    Wish me luck , I'm goin' in !   ( but today I'm using a zig zag pattern to keep 'em from zeroing in on me ! ) 

    Oh -- 6 quarters , 1 dime , 4 nickels , 4 memorials , 6 zincolns , ~a half dozen pulltabs , the end of a fluorescent tube bulb , and a few screws and nails . One incredibly tiny piece if wire (Mr. 800 is tuned !) , and no, nothing good ! 🖖 

    There were a LOT of ID #1 , I dug a few and it was a foil back bubble pack like cough drops/etc come in sometimes.  Stay Tuned.

     

  4. Welcome aboard Bill !

    I'm not from or in KY,  but I drove through it a few times. Does that count ?

    "New to forum" meaning you've been addicted to the beep already ?

    So now I have to ask , Did you find anything good ? 

    Hopefully you won't hear that ever again... 😉 

     

     

     

     

     

  5. Same here , shovel handle D style from a plastic.grain shovel . (on the small SS T-Rex)

    I drag it and carry it , it loads up with sand sometimes while dragging...so I carry it for a while.  I drag the small spade that I sometimes use too. The scoop also has it's own backpack for long hikes in.. 

    It does tone/ID when the coil swing gets too close but never felt it was interfering with pinpointing .
