[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 219444, member: 487"] Just a heads up for 3030 owners after chatting with a Minelab technician the other day. When detecting it is advised that you tighten the the nut where the coil attaches to the shaft and to not let the coil rest flat on the ground everytime you recover a target from the ground. All the constant movement will make the coil cable wires break, the technician said they will replace coils due to breakage but said eventually it will run out of warranty and said coils are expensive to replace regularly. Anyway I think that cables should be tougher than that but that was the advice given to me. I use my detector very often so I have just tightened it up a bit to stop the cable flexing all the time, hopefully I will have no more cable breakages. [/QUOTE]
