[size=large]under the thread,"it may not be a big deal to some..." , the author says whites sent him one. i can only think it's something to plug your coil into to protect the plug. don't know. could also be someones idea of a joke.

I think they are referring to the plug that hooks to the metal detector box. I have ordered some from Centerville Electronics. It comes with the plug and cable and is sometimes called a loop jack, because the cable attaches to the loop. If you damage your cable you will need one. The connector, or jack comes connected to the cable.

I think you are referring to a post I made. A "loop jack" is the part where you connect your "loop connector" to ON YOUR MACHINE.

When I called Whites in Oregon to order one, they told me it was called a "loop jack" so that is how I referred to it in my post. I use it to protect the loop connector on my spare coils when not in use.

I'm certain there are many other ways to protect the loop connector, but this works for me and I will get more as I increase my coil arsenal.

A novel idea....... never heard of doing that before.

[size=large]sounds like taking one end of an extension cord and plugging it into the other end. protects both ends. one from the prongs being crushed and the other from getting junk in the plug.
thanks for the pics and info. very useful info.

That's a great idea.

I guess that's what forums are for.
