  1. Dont listen to him Vini...................you can tell us West Ozzies..............we can keep a secret.........
  2. Pat, I bought a 2200d when they first came out. A great detector. Been swinging mine for years, got nine pieces for 26 grams in the last two days. I use a booster with mine and they work really well with either the Koss 30`s or 80`s as Doc said. I recently bought a set of Black Widows from Rob, mainly for working on wide open windy salt lakes here in West Australia. I have tried a range of coils on mine and my coil of choice is the Wallaby 17'' x 11" DD. Most of my patch in West Oz is wide open and flat, so plenty of room to swing a bigger coil. I see by one of your replies you are planning two long trips. I would not drive down to the end of my street to run the 2200 without a booster. Do yourself a favour, "add on" a booster before you leave. And when you get a nice very soft sweet target, disconnect the booster and try the signal without it. I`m sure you will think "that was money well spent" ..... The standard 6v battery will serve you well. I changed to 7.3v lead acid battey a long time ago and now run 7.4v li-ion lightweights. You got a good machine!...........learn to listen to what it is saying to you. Good Luck on the two trips and may the Goddess of Plenty look kindly upon you. Driller.
  3. Happy and prosperous New Year to all from the deserts of West Australia Driller
  4. Another thumbs up for Rob`s service. I live in West Australia and wanted a set of headphones that I was not able to find in Australia. So I e-mailed Rob to see if he could help. Back came a reply "Yep". A couple more e-mails back and forward to arrange nitty-gritty and then a phone to AZ to complete money transaction. Didn`t get to speak to Rob, got a very charming lady instead. ( Bonus! ) 5 days later the Postman delivered said item to my front door. I rekon I could waste a lot of valuable detecting time trying to find better service. Thanks Rob, Driller.
  5. And here`s another little secret...................the DD Platypus coil runs very very nicely on the 4500 as well............. . Driller
