Anyone got a fix for the above going off on contact with any soil and keeping beeping even when away from the soil  ?

Try padding out the top of the battery compartment and also only try and use Energiser or Duracell batteries the contacts at the bottom of the compartment tend to bend down after a while and although all PP3 batteries should be the same size they aren't with the Energiser being the biggest, you can try, very gently, to bend the contacts up a little. ;)

did have a problem with my pointer falsing returned and  garrett replaced as faulty

Thanks guys , i have carried out the suggested fix and will try it out tomorrow if its a tad dryier than today

I usually find that slinging it across the field and calling it a useless g*t does the job,(I know im not the only one to do this either)
 Well it is american and they only respond to violence  ;D ;D

yeh i'm not all that impressed with them but whats the alternative , i've seen some are trying the makro but not seen or tried one myself

Early reports are very good, my old mate Deadlock is loving his Makro and hasnt regretted ditching his Garrett. He has done a youtube video of it. The clips got a link on here somewhere, cant find it at the moment

yep i've just looked at some you tube tests looks ok to me might try one see for myself
