lowtone Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Before I got a Sovereign and Equinox my go to detector was the Explorer 2. It is a little heavy for a 3-4 hour Beach hunt. This mod made it a little lighter. I also switched the 11" Smart coil to the NeL Superfly coil. I had an old Anderson shaft that was not being used with an Outside Diameter of .875 . You will be using parts from the stock shaft. Be Aware doing this mod will render the stock shaft useless. Use a heat gun to remove the lower portion of stock shaft, then use a hack saw and cut the upper stock shaft cam lock off. You will need to determine the length you will need for your swing. Same for the carbon shaft. Use Epoxy to glue the lower portion to the carbon fiber shaft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan(NM) Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Good idea, I took mine one step further and did a chest mount setup. I disabled the speaker and added a quarter inch headphone jack. The battery pack is a 3000mah lithium ion setup. I can swing this bad boy for hours at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do more research. This is where I started and revised as I went, I've done 4 so far. First one was a little rough ? The problem your going to have is finding the 3' extension cable. Coiltek quit making them and I'm not sure of any other company making the extension cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
