[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 602535, member: 5638"] Hi Muk.....I can't talk for others but I am not bagging Minelab....only detectors we use. However, the opinion I expressed holds true. Minelab have always produced the best electronics and have always had rubbish 'accessories' ie: harness....headphones etc. There have been exceptions to this but as a general observation is correct.....in my opinion. Thing is, who cares?....many prospectors buy aftermarket harness'....headphones etc etc and that is good for the retailers. Also, how in the hell is a company going to mass produce a detector for many different body types and keep everyone happy? In short, they can't....so, we all start tinkering! If you look at their design changes over the last 5-6 years or so (prob longer), you can see the move towards the 'all in one' unit. What that does is cut some of the aftermarket competition out of the game and prob make operation easier for the majority of it's users and if I was Minelab I would do the same. The point that I was making is that I buy a minelab detector for its vastly superior electronics....that is what will find me gold.....the other bits such as my comfort during a detecting day (which is equally important in my opinion) I have to sort out myself.
