[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 605861, member: 16174"] not so much an excercise but I suggest putting quite a bit of time into sorting out detector balance as this is more important than gross weight ( which is still v important). 1) put your coil on the detector and then cup your hand under the shaft and move it along until the detector balances horizontal. 2)Is your bungee connected to the shaft close to this point? If not then move it to this point, try it out and then move it up or down an inch or two until you find the spot you like best. When properly supported by the bungee you dont have much force at all on your arm. 3) repeat for different coils and mark the shaft for each. I have 3 bungee attachments at about 50mm intervals to cover sadie, 14 evo and 18 elite. Get the detector balance right and you might not need much excercise :) [/QUOTE]
