accessory preference

Started by adding full rods per coil,DX-1 hardware per coil with the DX-1 mounting just below the cam lock on each shaft,I've started an audio/video library so my arm cup is the combination of 2 cups with playsport camera. I hunt with headphones but mounted an external speaker just at the front of the black-box (self powered unit) I turn it on when I've received a good target, each coil has an in-line-data suppressor (high EMI areas) made a stand from an old guitar stand it brings the unit up 7'' when in full use or 3'' in the up position.Made a probe using an old (FORD TRUCK) antenna it's brass tipped with deer antler handle.with every thing mounted I've brought the weight up a few pounds but its all just a nut and bolt away from basic unit!

When you change coils/rods, don't you have to take your pinpointer off too? I have all the lower rods on the coils but not the upper rods. Could you take a close up of your DX-1 hardware per coil with the DX-1 mounting? Maybe I would understand better. Thanks and I still like your wood floors. :blush: HH, Nancy

Hi Nancy,My reasoning in the way the DX-1 is mounted on my machine Is I found it difficult getting the rod locks just above the cam lock to release and I wanted upper and lower shafts on all my coils so I drilled holes in all shafts just below cam lock and that places my DX-1 in a location other than factory I called Sunray and purchased the hardware.It is just a preference however to me it seems worth the purchase price only because before I did lose a rubber washer and lost a few hours before I could replace it.

Now that's using your brain. I like that. Thanks for the explination and also the photos.

Have you had any fires close to you out in the red dirt area?

HH,

Insane setup jwilkes ! My mid-range detecting equipment plan is almost identical. I'm trying to work on getting an MXT Pro and an MXT, MXT 300 as a backup/loaner. Longer-range plans would include a V3i but I don't anticipate being ready to add that for at least a year +. Ingenious customizations you've come up with . ..thanks for sharing.

Hello Cajuncoinhunter,What I have is 2 arm cups bolted together,with a hole drilled in the top cup.I took a targus tripod apart and used the mounting hardware so now the arm cup is the tripod with full range of motion.
