Todays test results using the Swingy thingy for the Explorer.

[Anonymous]

Hello,
Received my Swingy Thingy yesterday "Harness for Explorer" to lighten/balance and help provide longer hours of detecting. Doc asked for 10 volunteers to use and provide test results of the Swingy thingy harness. I'm one of the ten volunteers and just finished up three straight hours of using the harness. Before I go forward to share my results with the forum, I would like to take the time to say "Thanks Doc" for creating and providing us with a must needed tool "Swingy thingy harness" to help us enjoy our hobby even more. Those of you looking for a tool to help enhance the balance of the Explorer please pay special attention to what I have to share with the forum.
The first feature of the harness that stands out is the quality of fine workmanship put into the harness, Well made and easily sets up for quick use. When I first hooked up the harness, I realized all this time some of us have been taking things off of the Explorer or going to lighter coils to help us detect for long periods of time. Now with the Swingy thingy harness, You can go back to using your larger coils and need not worry about weight being an issue as before.
I've enclosed a couple of pictures of today's test results of using the Swingy thingy, The first photo is a self-pic wearing the comfortable harness while the second pic shows a close-up shot of the bungee cord attached to my Explorer upper shaft running under my meter housing up to my chest/shoulder harness. For those of you already using the harness or intend to add one to the Explorer please take note of how the bungee cord runs below my meter housing connecting to the upper shaft, This set-up allows you to have an even swing throughout the full motion of the swing. The coil and the Explorer feels like it's gliding on air with your hand used only to control the motion of the swing. If the bungee cord is placed against the outer meter housing the swing will not be equally smooth throughout the swing due to drag from pressure on the outer swing.
I can see how the Swingy Thingy will work well for those of you that beach hunt with larger coils for long periods or those of you wanting to go back to using the larger coils, With using the Swingy Thingy harness weight is not an issue anymore.
Thanks for taking the time to review this post,

Thanks for that. In front of the TROPICANA it seems to be filling hn a lot.I got another ring today( three this week ,all junkers )and not an awful lot of coins ,mostly pennies. I got two more coppers this week inland ,they are really rough !! Cant read the dates but can just see the images.I got my new WOT this week.I have to run with sensitivity about 15-20 in wet sand because it gets real erratic.It alright in dry sand and a little tough to pinpoint. But of course I have to get used to it Roy from South Jersey

Thanks Roy,
I've been using the Lesche Groundshark for the past year and really enjoy the shovel, I'll never go back to a hand digging tool. The shovel shown in the picture is made by one of the locals in my area, It's just as good as the Lesche Groundshark but half the price. Well made constructed shovel. If you send me an e-mail, I'll forward you the makers e-mail address.
Thanks again,

My friend sells these on e-bay, You won't get a better deal than the price he's asking for.
e-mail him direct if someone buys the shovel, He makes these and sells on the side as well.
