[QUOTE="condor22, post: 104168, member: 1932"] We all have physical restrictions of one kind or another, however rather than detail that, I thought mentioning solutions rather than problems might be a better use of reply. 1. I have a GPX5000, I use the Proswing harness and have it adjusted to give the best support for me on the shoulder and back. 2. Use good quality footwear, a skyscraper is only as good as its foundation..... 3. Use soft leather gloves, helps prevent blisters cuts etc. and reduces sweat between the hand and detector handle. and Last but not least, I detect for an hour or a bit more, then drop the harness, detector and gear and take a 10-15 break. Then do another hour or so until lunch, which is 30-45 minutes. Then another 2 similar stints before packing up for the day. My total is 5 to 6 hrs a day, no more, I'm out there to enjoy, not bust a gut. (When I worked on computers, we were told to take a 5min leg stretch every hour, the motor accident commission say take a break driving every 2 hours, I see no difference when detecting) Finally detect to your own limitations.
