DOC--- while I have your attention I'm impressed by your open mindedness involving the Garrett Infinium. I gave it a good "going-over" in the severe alkali and iron oxides in western Nevada. The only spot it was in trouble-- remember I'm limited to the 10x14-DD--- was in the altered basalt which as you know also give the Minelab SD's trouble. The test is in the current W&E Treasures, Jan 2003. If aftermarket coils are ever available it will do okay. I hunt with two buddies, one with a SD-2200d and the other the Extreme. Both have the 14-inch coiltek and Koss headphones. (It was Rick D. that bought the coiltek from your business a week or so ago.)

Also, I have nothing but praise for the staff at Minelabusa as I have used various Minelabs since the beginning. I hold Minelab in high respect for their development in military mine detecting; I spent active duty in the USA Corp of Engineers and as such, although my tour was stateside, I am familiar with the anti-tank/personnel mines that were developed between Korea and Vietnam. It is currently a major concern as there are possibly hundreds of thousands anti-personnel land mines that are planted in farm fields---and will continue to kill and maime for years to come.

And Rob A. is a dear friend.

WYB
