When it all comes together and I’m rewarded with a nugget no matter how small or what detector I used to find it, I experience pure bliss and I’m immediately planning on doing it all over again. ? ? 

The challenge is what it’s all about for me, it always was and always will be.

yes, it's hard to beat that feeling, only better feeling is when you get one, then instantly another, then another and bingo! A little patch! I can't even imagine the feeling of a big nugget, my legs go wobbly when I find a 4 gram nugget.

Solved it, the o-rings work really well to keep the shafts from spinning so easily:

For those wondering how it all panned out.

Glad to have that resolved, hopefully the new one works well.  I'm happy they were able to fault it and didn't say replaced as a precaution then I'd always been wondering if it was indeed faulty.

Well, I know you can't vote twice on the poll but how is it all going now?

 They replaced my 11” coil as well. I finally got to go out for another hunt. The first day I used the coiltek 10 x 5.  It ran ok but was hunting in some hot ground...I think the geosense  is part of the problem...again if I put slight downward pressure on the coil while resting it on the ground it would sound off even with the 10x5 coiltek...seemed the geosense did not like being in one spot for long...did manage 3 small nuggets that day...second day different  location needed to try out the new 11” coil..ground was not as hot as the previous location..the machine ran perfectly that day managed another 3 small nuggets....in conclusion I still don’t know what to think except I like the machine when it runs stable...I experienced no bump sensitivity either day.
