What is really up with this obsession about detector weight? Is it the physically handicapped? I am 70 now, and I can grab any one of my detectors I have collected, and hunt. I understand if peeps are physically handicapped, but weight of my machines doesn't stop me from taking any of my metal detectors.
Do I detect 8 hours straight? No. I just don't get all this about the lightest detector. Personal handicaps of some people, are definitely important. What is really the importance of a super light metal detectors weight?
For myself, it is COPD (emphysema), but I still swing my 6lb E-Trac when I find it necessary. It isn't so much that I can't swing any detector out there, but that I get the most enjoyment swinging the Deus by far. And at this point I am out for the enjoyment more than the goods.
Oh, and I'm only 66.
