[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 589373, member: 1414"] Astro, I used the Minelab harness that was supplied with the 7000. After first trip I operated with scalpel and removed all the "gorilla struts" and sewed up wounds with my trusty old sewing machine. Retained the spreader bar to distribute weight to both shoulders when attaching the bungee. Stepping back a couple of moves. Have seen many using the 7K with the bungee anchored to the stem just above the coil. My method dating back to the 2000 hasn't changed. Attach bungee to the stem of which ever model you own, then when you pick it up with bungee only, it hangs at the angle you normally swing. (Back to 7K) Now attach bungee clip to the spreader bar and tension it until the coil hovers just above the ground (with out actually holding detector handle) when you are standing upright in detecting stance. Using the swing arm on most days. This method is tried and proven and the weight of the 7000 that many harp on about is not a problem. Good luck in 2021. Cheers [/QUOTE]
