Remote Weight Vs Ws6 With Shaft Adapter Weight

[Steelheader]

Just out of curiosity, I weighed the remote and the ws6 with the shaft adapter.  The weight for the remote is 5.41 oz., and the weight of the ws6 with the shaft mount adapter is 2.52 oz..  The weight difference is 2.89 oz..  I tried swinging both  when I was out detecting and I can’t really tell a difference when swinging the coil.

Very interesting---thanks for sharing that.

You probably would not sense much difference (as you confirmed), as -- from a "balance" perspective, adding weight to the shaft at the "fulcrum" area (handle) does not affect the balance much, and so for that small of a weight difference, it should be fairly imperceptible.
