Popular Post Steve Herschbach Posted August 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2017 The battery door of the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 has a loop of steel wire that acts as a safety to keep the door from getting lost. I needed a temporary fix for another problem and stole the loop off my GM1000. The wire loop looked like it might be handy for many things, and I vaguely remembered seeing them someplace. Finally tracked it down as a keychain or luggage tag loop. Picked up a pack of 20 on Amazon for just $7.49 including shipping. For 0.37 each it just seemed like something I could use in my tool box. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LipCa Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My fault Steve.... I haven't opened many of the ML1000 threads and didn't see that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Well, to be honest, in addition to clamps there is some baling wire, duct tape, and in one carefully hidden location, a wad of gum, all involved in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The battery door loop may make a good safety tether for my Deus controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
