Did Air Test and G2 questions

[Swagman]

Did another airtest outside. 100% Gain

Gold ring 70 VDI 9"

50 Cent Piece 88-89 VDI 8.5"

Quarter (Silver) 88-90 VDI 8"

Quarter (CLAD) 87-88 VDI 8.5"

Nickle 58-59 VDI 9.5"


Also got a question, when do you usually change out the 9V battery? Does detection capability go down at 2 bars or 1 bar? So far I like to keep it at 2-3 bars, if it gets down to 1 bar on the voltage, I change out.

Does anyone cover their G2 foam handle? Mine gets dirty and nasty, where I have to get a semi-wet cloth and clean it. Takes forever. I was thinking of covering it with a plastic bag and taping it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Swag battery has no effect on depth that I've seen. Some kinda wrap would be a good idea. Hopefully guys here have some good ideas.

I'm getting close to time for another battery change, depending on when we get good weather back. Clear, sunny, 71

I have ran batteries down to the point of hearing my pinpoint volume taper off. It amazes me how well the Gb still operates at low batterie levels. I used to change at one bar but now I am reusing those old bats down to nothing with no apparent performance loss.
Save yourself some bucks and get the most out of your bats.
I know you cant do this with the G2 but with the GB I just remove my arm rest wet the grip slid it off and wash it with soap and water and slid it back on comes out like new.

With self clinging "Vet" wrap. You can find it at a Vet Supply. Used to bandage horses legs....Comes in alot of colors and also pads the grip more...Mark

Hey Morelic --

That Vet Wrap is an AWESOME idea. I'm doing that, from now on!

I put a wrap of saran wrap and then use bat tape or tennis racket tape. Very comfortable and you can wash it off when it gets muddy and nasty. Mo is going to lay his machine down one of these days and have to take his Minelab to find it. Does look good though Mo. HH

I like the camo, too, Mo. Where'd you get that?

Hey Hershey, if I put camo on BOTH my Gold Bug AND my Minelab, and set them BOTH down, THEN what?
