[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 176803, member: 4012"] The coil frequently comes into contact with ground, rocks and branches, so check it carefully for cracks and wear. If the detector gives false signals when the coil lightly brushes the ground, this is a sign of internal wiring damage. Are the coil fastening brackets both intact? Rough usage can break them and may have been repaired, but could leave a future weak point. The digital display is quite vulnerable to damge, as are the two protruding knobs. Does the screen appear OK, with no cracks or bruises (minor scratches are normal), and are all numbers and symbols working properly? Are the knobs easy to turn but not floppy or bent? Damage to stems or armrest should be visible and any repairs to these parts will probably be obvious. Australian service and spares for Fisher detectors are available if needed through Goldhunter Detectors: [url]http://www.goldscanaust.com.au/contact.html[/url] Fisher Gold Bug owner's manual: [url]http://www.fisherlab.com/hobby/manuals/MGBUG-02.09.15-Reader.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
