![]() ![]() Its more a learning experience and many may not think its worth the trouble but I for one hate to throw things away. Its a pretty messy task cutting this thing open and will need some good expoxy filling on the two cost sides in order to get it back together nicely. ![]() I have glued the ferrite together and have yet to rewind the copper wire and assemble to see it it will work. I am thinking it was always broke and after time of moving it around the ferrite somehow separated more. Now this is encased in epoxy so not sure how it just broke as it was never dropped. What I determined was the ferrite core was broken in two pieces. This involved cutting the device open as its glued together. I tabled it till recently after watching a youtube on a possible repair. Putting lateral pressure on the tip made it more erratic. I tried several things but nothing seemed to work. To update an older thread, my Pro-Find 25 died several years ago, it worked great for a while and was only used as a spare.The pinpointer started to act erratic on a hunt and was not stable. I do like that I can run it with the audio off, I don't know if the 25 has that feature. I had to sew up something better that would work for my belt/carrying kit. I also don't run it on max sensitivity, so YMMV. Maybe a year from now, I may change my tune about the ML pinpointer. Still have the old Pro-Pointer, and since it's been way out of warranty, I did try a DIY fix on it - it can be found on youtube. Specifications: VLF Technology Detector Interference Free (DIF) technology eliminates interference with an operating metal detector, when it is switched off. and it just got to the point where I couldn't use the dang thing at all. I can't say the same about my older OG Pro-pointer though, that one started falsing like crazy a year after I had bought back in 2006 or something? Even back then, the Garrett still went berserk at times. I have a Pro 35 that I bought months ago, still on it's packaged battery, ran it for many yard hunts and no complaints from me at the moment. perhaps EMI or some interference? I'd call Minelab if it's still under warranty. ![]()
