[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 4928, member: 147"] Metal detectors are generally pretty robust these days and can take quite a knock. Saying this I still carry mine in a soft case when traveling long distances with the coil detached. I often carry mine on a motor bike the same way. I would definitely detach the coil if going down bush tracks..A short run to the beach however , I'd leave it set up. Where the coil attaches to the shaft is usually the weakest point of the detector and a heavy knock to the coil can sometimes strip the thread on the plastic bolt/nut connection..generally common sense should prevail...Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
