[QUOTE="qldnuggytom, post: 85643, member: 3157"] OK Hi all I have had the F1a4 for months now picked it up for $650 and had it on the gold fields twice now found no gold to be honest but have tested on nuggets out there from others and the machine works Great was running on very mineralised grand and was great NOW to do with the mods I think Mods are great but can break I believe in running the stock machine with adapters if something breaks you can run it stock again but with a tweaked Sound output set up it it gives it almost double the depth in air tests.... What I have done is grab the Adapter cable off ebay to run other mono coils But have decided the stock 8 inch coil is a monster and want to keep running it BUT after getting the adapter cable I realised ill just get an adapter made up for the earpiece I got that for $130 and the stock mono coil adapter cable for $130 also.. so we are upto $910 then I bought the B&Z Booster exactly like a rooster booster but runs its own triple AAA battery's for its power so the earpiece adaptor goes into the booster and you can run a speaker or headphones and with the volume control on the booster you now have a volume knob AND it helps a lot with the thresh hold tone as well you have to use the B&Z booster though because the earpiece doesn't produce enough voltage to run a speaker or headphones BOOSTER was $195 with speaker so im in for $1105 for a good PI detecting gold machine BOYS it really is the way to go Before the F1a4 I had a modded sd 2000 and this IS better FULL STOP the earpiece adapter runs the stock Mill-spec plug to a 6.5 female mono [/QUOTE]
