    Its the 38x45 coil for the XP GMaxxII

    It's like a deepseeker coil but your still able to find shells buckles etc
    on helmets it goes about (in perfect conditions) 6 feet deep (150cm)

    Only downsides are: that it is pretty heavy and pretty expensive I paid 350 euro for the coil!

    Yeah!! Im working on it!
    But im not going put in a new stock.

    My question wasn't clear enough , have you any legal authority to use a metal detector and dig in Germany ?

    Also the the MG must be declared to the proper authority, any recoverd fire arm, even in that state has to be reported.

    ok,, I have to ask,, what is it with all these European countries banning the use of metal detectors? What horrific crime are they trying to prevent? Sorry to get off track on th thread but i keep seeing warnings about metal detectors,,,, Thanks all.
