[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 362662, member: 3775"] It seems that if you want to find Gold then you have to put up with the weight, If the weight is the problem then try mounting the control box as far back as possible and move the handle about an inch or so further down the shaft towards the coil, Even heavy machines can be a joy to use if you can balance them to suit your needs, I never use the arm strap on mine so my elbow rested within the arm cup which allowed me to move the handle forward and still keep control of the machine/Swing. If you get it right then you can get away with not needing the arm strap, and it makes it easier to grab the detector and start sweeping or putting it down to dig, hope that helps. John. [/QUOTE]
