    Minelab GP Extreme tips, settings, questions

    6.8v would be fine for extreme as my first lucky lark was used on a 2100 before we went to the 3500s it was running at 7.3v so I tried it at that and went for 14hrs no probs. Have run that on 3500 for 3 years. Big plus to have constant voltage from the lithium batteries plus a signal boost all...

    Minelab GP Extreme tips, settings, questions

    Could be an option to get hold of a reeds lucky lark battery, sound enhancer as there are a few coming onto the market with a lot of people upgrading.

Skid plate can get knocked about so I got 2 rolls of tape from reeds prospecting, only 8-10 dollars large rolls...

    Treasure Mate II feedback

    Have used one for nine months. No problems. New version has rechargeable 9v internal battery which is better as removing screws and replacing battery in the field is a bit of a pain to remove the 4 screws every time the battery dies. Double check cord length will be long enough as they are not...
