With the coming of winter and because my Minelab XS is now a 12 year old, that's centuries in detector terms, well it is for me. I decided to invest in some new covers which apart from keeping it clean (just take the covers off and pop them in the washing machine) has given the XS a completely new look.
these can be bought individually but I decide to buy the set of 3, 1 stem, 1 control box and 1 for the main body and handle unit. After looking around I ordered them from DW member Steve Morris, who makes and sells the covers under the name of Pro-Tector. http://www.pro-tectors.co.uk/
He has different styles and designs for different machines but I went for the Woodland Camo which comes with a pocket for a spare battery, now personally I never go out without a full battery which easily lasts me a days detecting, but I found that the pocket is a perfect fit for a Garrett probe Wink
Fitting is a piece of cake, all covers being sealed using hard wearing Velcro.
All in all I'm really pleased with them and though they obviously have no effect on machine performance, it does give you the feeling that you've got a new machine Cheesy
