jasong Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Well I am happy to say that Minelab is now mailing me a ferrite today. Maybe they read this thread or realized I was getting a bit impatient and frustrated in my last email to them, either way this time it got elevated to a manager and took about 5 minutes to get one after that, no more canned responses and everyone was very helpful this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvchris Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Got the ring today! Now I need 2 detectors to use it....if I follow the instructions to the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normmcq Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yes Chris You might need two, but they both need to be ZEDS. Finding an area without a target is tough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 In addition to finding the 3 nice pieces yesterday. Minelab had the forethought to put my Ferrite ring in my nugget patch, at least 50 years ago. How thoughtful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nice one Scott. Years ago I worked in Saudi Arabia with a wonderful old fellow named (according to his UK passport) "Professor Sebastian Hutton". After his stint in the Royal Tank Corps in Normandy and beyond in WW II, He got a scholarship to Oxford and majored in English. Tolkien was his tutor. Over glasses of homemade beer in our (highly illegal) housing compound pub he told me all about rings, their relation to the earth (Middle and otherwise) and their relation to gold. I wish I could tell you all about that but two things prohibit it. First, dear Sebastian's ghost would haunt me for the rest of my life and second, my investment in Codan shares would be wiped out. Oh well, that's the way it with secret formulas, mad ferrets and magic spells. I do miss dear Sebastian a lot however RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strick Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 On July 31, 2015 at 3:46 PM, Sourdough Scott said: I've been trying for a while to get one from my dealer.I called minelab myself. They are backordered. For as good as your detectors are. Other little things you really SUCK at. WTF Minelab. Get me a ferrite ring and make me happy. You spend 10 K on a detector, but can't get a 10 dollar ring. The subject of the ferrite ring and ground balancing has come up again. I have one but thought I'd buy a back up just in case...can't find one anywhere...checked E bay, Amazon, Rob Allison's and Gerry's sites. Do a search for it on Minelab's web site can't find it there either this should not be so hard to buy....what a joke. Is the minelab ferrite ring any different then just any old ferrite ring? strick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
