    Coil Lifespan - Garrett AT-Pro 8.5x11

    Today my stock coil, the 8.5x11 coil started chattering, not immediately but after some swings over dewy grass. Currently letting it dry out for a few days before some re-testing. New batteries were no help. Any suggestions? 8.( No chattering on attaching a sniper coil. :| The coil cover...

    Battery Holder Garrett At Pro & Gold

    There is the hassle of international bank transfers to Portugal here, but USD $0.32 each! Even with the minimum order a bargain. I'm sure they are the same. http://www.amabilidade2002.com/batteryholders7.htm

    Garrett Pinpointer rubber switch cover/grommet replacement

    Depth of AT Pro on a 50% silver Florin 1946

    Now this was after a few days of the heaviest rain we have had in Hobart.... But it was at a depth of about 35cm. Of which 30cm was very wet pine bark mulch, and not at all dense, I was scooping it with my hands. The other 5cm was fine muddy loam, except I am sure this coin was a redeposit from...
