    Lemme know how you do, Steve. If it's just an hour or two in the earlier AM, I'm available, if you want some company.

    Wait- it's a Sunday, so I am free of fatherly obligations. Therefore, all I have to do is sleep off my graveyard shift at some point between tomorrow AM and 11 PM when I go back in to work. Morning, afternoon... whatever... if you have a sweet site to share, I'm your pal! image

    After working Sunday night and getting off Monday morning, I am off Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday, and most of Thursday, when I go back in on the graveyard shift.

    Now that the rain's gone, I need to get out again. Haven't put the coil to the soil since January 27th. I could use a February find or two.

    PS- speaking of stuff being sent off for repair, etc.- it's been a long time now since I shipped my Sun-Ray probe off for fixin'. Hmm. I might need to start investigating wassup with that.

    He didn't get out. But he and I might put the coil to the soil early this week. He apparently has a relic site lined up, which happens to be within hollerin' distance of my house.

    Millennium,

    How much longer before your 2500 is back? If you don't mind me asking, how much was the upgrade? What all did it include?

    Thanks,

    Speer....They got on Feb25th....They called yesterday (29th) and said they had done a circuit board upgrade, Changed the power supply cords for the newer one they use now, and replaced the coil for the newer coil...Then they re-calibrated the unit for the new coil and circuit board upgrade. The charge was $40.42 which I think is outstanding! The price of a new coil is $110.00, not counting the labor and the new circuit board.

    Now, I can't wait to get it back..I loved the unit like it was....now it's supposed to be 15% deeper and have a new ground mineralization circuit, and a new coil...

    Millennium,

    That sounds like a great deal. I do believe that I'll have to send mine off to get it done as well. I just don't know what I'll do without it for a week though. I guess I could use the Ace 250, but I sure do love the 2500.

    Thanks for the info.

    The new coil is supposed to be more stable than the old stock one. Less falsing, especially when you bump into twigs and sticks.
