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.

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  Grin Grin

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
