Minelab Equinox 600/800 problems. Play in the shaft (twist locks)

If your detector requires a repair, the solution options to resolving the problem are much more important than the problem itself.

Changes in Garrett AT PRO. Upgrading the Legend

Nobody will argue that the Garrett AT PRO has been able to win its place in the history of metal detectors. Having taken this place, it set a new vector for MD hobby development.
