Coil covers, to glue or not to glue on?

[ARC]

ARC, I'm not sure what a "babe in the woods" would look like or what one of them would do out there, but sounds good. What I am really impressed by, is the "EONS" part, now I had to look it up to see how long that is, and just ONE eon is a "billion" years! Just how long have you REALLY been on Treasure Net? Alrighty then, having said that, do not want to "highjack" a thread, that can have useful information for newer detectorist, so it is do NOT glue a cover on the coil, and that there is no "rule" that you must use one. Choice is yours. To cover, or not to cover, that is the question.

LOL... ok ok... not that long.... lol.
Um... well i have been into finding crap and history my whole life... got turned onto serious REAL treasure by seeing and holding life changing amounts of treasure that others had found by age 12.... bought MY first detector new at age 17 after years of intermittently using other peoples and second hands prior.
After that.... i detected whenever possible throughout my life... been exposed to it or detected for a solid 40 years. (1980's is when i was enlightened to beach detecting)
I have detected in many states from here to Maine.
Have dug crap from here to England.
Invented things for detecting.
Pushed the envelope in all forms of it.

Ehhhhh yeah..... um..... heh

12? I never looked close, by golly you do look 12 in that picture. Now, I of course do not look 12, but my wife would say he acts like he is sometimes. OK, sorry no more high jacking. ...Do NOT glue the coil cover to the coil. That would be like welding the wheel to the axles hub.......OK bye

Stuff i used ... nothing that was made for sales.
Stuff that years later a few are out there being made and used. (not made by me)

Invention is funny... it is second nature to me... although i did / do not invent for $... I should have...
If you show me a product... I will make it better.

Cool, have shared contraptions and modifications to tools i've made in the past for prospecting/gold recovery, made out of necessity, in local group online pages before like a telescoping tube snuffer bottle and extended tweezers for sniping placer gold off of bedrock in the dead of winter without getting to wet to aid/help fellows in local prospecting community who may have encountered same predicaments. Yeah, is no real reason to produce or contact any product producers for most 'things and stuff' being anyone could and would simply just make it for themselves if really needed. Thinking of it.. believe i do know a couple people with 3D printers and am sure i'm not the only one out there who does.

Don't know about other manufactures, but when we saw it under Minelab it voided the warranty and customer was responsible for the repair, labor and the new coil.

XP is similar.

This warranty does not cover:

• Damage caused by abnormal use or resulting from non-compliance with the conditions of use stipulated in the device's instructions
• ....
• Using without coil cover or using defective coil cover
