Finally We Are Two Weeks Into Production Of The New Products


Doc

Recommended Posts

Thank you in advance to Steve for allowing be to update people on developments.  The number of people waiting for a cover for the Axiom and Manticrore is pretty mind boggling.  I know Steve doesn't like to use covers because he says he likes to keep the machine as light as possible.  But the Manticore cover weighs 4 ounces and the AXIOM cover weighs 10 ounces.

I'm sorry that designing prototyping and perfecting covers for new machines takes so long, but I won't have it made unless it's perfect.  What I thought was going to be a nightmare to design, the AXIOM cover actually was not.  It was similar in it's weird design to the GPX6000 so that went smoothly.  The nightmare was the new Manticore cover.  That large protrusion in the back with the flashlight was really hard to work around.  If it was a big machine, working with weird angles is not such a challenge, but when you work with covers for smaller machines negotiating weird angles really cause problems for the design team.  I've seen some covers for the Manticore being marketed already, they just put a big piece of elastic across the back.  it blocks the coil cable plug in, the headphone jack and the flashlight.  I suppose you can stretch the elastic out of the way to allow the cable and headphone jack to be plugged in, but what about the flashlight?

Anyway here are pictures of new items these were the final approved prototypes, they have been in production now for about 2 weeks.  Estimate is 3 weeks total for production to conclude and then probably another 3 to 4 weeks shipping customs clearance etc.  The Gold Monster Cover we have in stock now.

I am going to have to do a You Tube video on the QWIPPLE™ so people understand just how cool this new item is.

I have a plethora of new items being manufactured right now. (Plethora, I don't get to use that word "A LOT")

1. The new Qwipple™ triple adjustment point shock cord bungee kit to be mounted on your favorite harness or hydration pack.
2. New Cover Set for the AXIOM, Head Cover Shade Cover, Body Cover and Arm Cuff Cover all done in the Digital Aussie Green Camo material
3. New Cover set for the Manticore
4. New Cover set for the Equinox 700 and 900
5. New Cover Sert for the Xterra Pro
6 New Cover Set for the GPX6000 in the New Digital Aussie Green Camo material
7. New Cover Set for the Gold Monster in the New Digital Aussie Green Camo material (IN STOCK NOW)
8. New Doc's Nugget Stalker soft real cowhide soft leather nugget pouch.  Kangaroo Scrotums are getting hard to get in the larger size, and you can't sell anything made of Kangaroo into California.  This new pouch is really nice.  A larger size made of genuine soft leather.

#1. Let me tell you about the QWIPPLE™. Take the weight off while detecting. With less strain you will be able to detect longer and concentrate on subtle targets better.

• Top of the line custom made 50% stretch (most shock cord is 100% stretch) UV Protected Dacron Polyester Shock cord. Durable and tough. Control without all the bounce. This shock cord is specially made to my exacting specifications. This is necessary to withstand the rigors of metal detecting. I had to order 6200 meters to get this shock cord made to meet my requirements because it's not available commercially.
• Exclusive ambidextrous heavy duty shoulder clip that allows 1 handed easy height adjustment "on the go." Never miss a swing, no stopping to re-adjust. Attach either looped end to the rod and you can still adjust the height, because both sides of the clip have an adjustment groove.
• Amazing, rod bungee connection point fits any detector. You can also adjust the height of the detector here, or, simply use the loop end of the shock cord to attach. If you do like to adjust at the rod adjustment connector, no problem. When you are ready to lay your detector down in the dirt, don't take the clip off at the shoulder, this just allows your shock cord to lay in the dirt with your detector. Simply pop the shock cord out of the side of the rod adjustment device and leave your shock cord hanging on your shoulder high and dry and clean.
• Every QWIPPLE™ triple adjustment shock cord support system comes with a RING STRAP included. You can sew the RING STRAP onto your favorite support harness, backpack or hydration pack and you're all set.

Your covers are A+ Doc! I used them on my Gold Monster, and now on my Equinox 800 and GPX 6000. They fit well and are good at keeping the dirt and (I’d guess) the rain out.  Thanks for a great product!

Doc’s innovations are endless!  I have many of he’s products some dating back more years than I care to mention 😂 and still work as great as day one.  He has made everything from Hats to Boots…Doc is a great Outfitter of our “Toils in the Soils.”  Thanks Doc!

Hi Doc! you're the best, thanks for all your hard work on stuff. I have used the "Quipple" for a few years now, great product, it is so easy to use and adjust on the move, saves my back after a few days of detecting.
