Thanks for the heads up! My 18 month old 17" coil had the issue but not all the way through to the wires. Off to Minelab today for a replacement.
angermanagement..........would you post a picture of the back of the standard shaft showing the new entry point? Are you having any issues with weakness of the shaft with the hole in it? Any issues with the wire rubbing against the new cut?
I am tall and use the coil almost fully extended. My stress on the wire is coming from putting the machine down each time I recover a target. The coil moves to a parallel position with the shaft. I use the 17" as my primary coil so it gets a lot
of flexing.
