[QUOTE="Mystyk59, post: 4096, member: 217"] No the swing arm looks more like a shovel handle and means you have to use both hands to swing the detector ! the hip stick is more for the weight aspect . And really i find you want to be scraping the coil on the ground to get the best signals. A bloke who has one of the few coil testers privately owned (it measures the strength of your coil output) showed me the difference only an inch makes. It was a drop of something like 1500 say to 900 i cant remember now the exact figures . So when they say low and slow . I go through skid plates like nothing as i always scrape the ground. And thats when you find the tiny bits others have missed. Make sure you get the retainer as well its a different bloke on ebay sells them. Glad to have been of help :cool: [/QUOTE]
