[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 104203, member: 3111"] If you are experiencing problems with using the detector, then theres no better answer than a fix. Don't keep yourself limit to what is out there on the market, but put some thought into bands, arm supports and bungee cables that you can make. Personally if I detected a lot like you guys, I would be making the coil and arm piece seperate from the batteries and controls. The shape of a detector and coil could well be revised I feel. How about coil shoes? :P Hmmm.. how about a mini pick / scoop on your shoes? Would prevent you from bending down with all the shallow finds! Pre-exercising can help as well. I highly recommend having a go at a fun exercise ball I found on ebay called a Power Ball or Power Gyro: [url]http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/QZO-Gyroscope-Force-Ball-LED-Power-Gyro-Wrist-Ball-Sport-W-Speed-Meter-Counter-/131249532823?pt=AU_Exercise_Accessories&var=&hash=item1e8f14ef97[/url] They are mostly used from what I know for motorbike riders to warm up and strengthen arm muscles before and after a ride to prevent locking of the muscles, especially in the forearms. They can be a bit hard to get used to, but once you have the action right, you will instantly notice the work it does for your arms. [/QUOTE]
