It's the seller's responsibility to ensure that you receive the goods - his obligations are not completed until you do. If you don't receive the headphones in a reasonable amount of time then the liability is his clearly. Assuming he's truthful about having shipped them it still doesn't get him off the hook for safe delivery. The financial loss resulting from non-arriva

It certainly looks rugged, but I saw a Garret Recon (same case),on eBay with a broken arm cuff. On another forum, someone just posted pix of how their ATX case broke where the headphone connector is located when the detector fell and the connector hit the floor. I wonder what Garret's warranty policy is for case breakage?
EDIT: I re-read the post on the othr forum and Garrett is fixing

I have both the concentric and widescan 7"elliptical coils for the original Lobo. Sold the Lobo and now need to find new homes for the coils.
Like new $75 each shipped.
These DO NOT fit the Lobo Super Trac.

Keith,
It's thoughtful, detailed input like you just posted that makes this forum the best. Thanks for taking the time to do,what I had hoped you would, namely answer my short post with a big dose of good data.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and thanks for another year's worth of sharing your knowledge and experience.

Shifting ground balance in the discriminate mode to more negative settings increases ground response but also tends to increase discriminate mode depth as Keith demonstrated with the Lobo ST.
If we go back to considering the G2/GBP, There is apparently just the one pot in the G2 and that it controls nulling the detector/coil to ferrite - the set point for ground balance. Keith has now point

Keith,
When Reg Sniff did the Lobo ST Field Test for Lost Treasure, he reported that in all metal he could distinguish rusty iron and foil from lead by the pitch of the response - the iron and foil giving a much higher pitched response? Have you ever noticed this?

The financials show Huge inventory growth at Minelab. Too many GPX-5000’s and too few buyers. The SDC-2300 will only make it worse. Too bad they didn't "fess up" in time to give us GPX-5000’s for $3500 on Black Friday.

In a press release issued today in Australia, Codan said the SDC-2300 would be released in April.
Codan's stock dropped 38% today. Perhaps a buying opportunity.

"Improved MPF technology". - that plus the model number - SDC-2300, makes me believe that it is a tweak of their discontinued SD-2100/SD-2200 platform.
If true, the only reason for that is to ensure that it is no,competition to the GPX-5000. The reason I say that is that the F3 Compact mine detector which this package was developed for uses MPS technology like the GPX-5000.

It will be based on the "F3 compact" platform - this has a completely new method of coil attachment and ML will no doubt do everything that they can to,prevent aftermarket suppliers from competing. If it is any good compared to the GPX 5000 it would kill those sales, so don't expect it to compete on depth or power.
Here's the F3 link

I am sorry to hear you had a problem. Not being able to sort out a customer problem because a third party lets you down is pretty frustrating. My experience has happily been different.
I use USPS Priority mail all the time in my (very) small business. It's cheap and convenient. I have an online account (anybody can get one) and I get a discount on the rate by doing it online.

Again –
Remember PI's are all about depth in bad ground. In good ground they have no particular advantage over VLF machines except maybe for the Minelab GPX machines which have absurd amounts of power and huge amplification and get pretty much more depth than anything else. They have very rudimentary discrimination however.
Bad ground - depth - discrimination AT DEPTH - nobody has cr

It all depends. Pretty much it depends on whether it offers anything new in the way of discrimination. Current detectors like the Infinium and the whites TDI offer a degree of discrimination where you can split between high and low conductors - adjust the point whereyou split them - and then only listen to into the high or the low. That's pretty primitive compared what's offered on VL

Thanks for your quick response Tom.
Well, a White's GM4b "followed me home" over the weekend. It was a price I couldn't refuse, so I guess that will be the machine I use. The sifter is a plastic collander from "Dollar Tree".

Tom,
I've read your microjewelry article and I have a couple of questions.
In dry beach sand, how practical is the GB 2 from the point of view of the "drive you nuts" factor. If I understand it correctly, the GB 2 should ignore small rust flakes, etc - while not losing sensitivity to very fine gold such as chains. Tiny bits of foil, etc. will still be heard. Is this correct?
