Default withdrawl already?

I have only been MDing for about two months now. I just sent my Ace 250 along with both coils to garrett for servicing.
the sun is shining...I still have my propointer...do I "borrow" my son's 150 and go hunting?
Or is that a sure sign that I have a problem?

It's always nice to have a backup detector. You're ok, I don't think you will need an intervention...Gil

Well Gunny the way I see it is this. Unless Junior is on Spring Break then he will be at school. The 150 is just sitting there and would be better served by getting out in the field performing the task for which it was made.

The short answer; get out there and dig it up!!

Have fun!

yeh I thought I toasted my stock coil so I ordered the new DD coil and after about a week The Ace took a dump...I can't beleive I would have two bad coils, but you never know. that's why I called Garrett and sent them my MD along with both coils. At least they can shed some light on my "pinball machine"

I think I'll sneak out with my sons 150 after dinner tonight...shhhhhhhh!
actually he will probably log in and read this.
