Cheap shaft locks (for different detectors). Photos
Why do the cheap machines from Fisher and Teknetics have the twist locks on their shafts whereas the super popular Garrett ACE units don’t? One year after buying an ACE device, its owner will hear a perceptible rattle in the shaft. This rattle doesn’t affect detection quality anyhow and, sure thing, doesn’t have any bearing on the number of your finds recovered.

You won’t tread on a bright colored armrest while digging up a hole as it can be seen perfectly against dark soil background. Plus, the Garrett ACE / AT armrests can be adjusted – only 2 positions, but still – for different user arm lengths. Continue reading
