This time, I might have been wrong on both accounts.
The GP pointer worked and then it didn't and then it would not stop sounding.
Broke the push button when I tried to investigate... Will fix it later. If I can't, then I'll build a DIY pinpointer into the housing.
The Tracker Pro.. It's air tests put's a G2 to shame.. including some teeny blobs of solder..
It's ground penetration is horrible on roodepoord red earh. Sticking a clad 20c to the coil induces some ground balance and does fix it to the extent that I can get a silver 6pence at 3inches and pick up on the pop rivet heads on the lawn. Maybe it's the coil. It's a strange machine, and it's really scaled down for manufacturing cost.. It doesn't have a middle piece shaft like the technetics does.. it just has the upper stem and a really long plastic stem.
All it really does is remind you what a value for money machine the eurotek is. The bandido I built doesn't have the recovery speed and items mask easily but it will sit well on the light shaft. It doesn't mind a 4,5inch 6pence.
