I smoked MightyAP!!!

We went to the park today and I found this really cool celtic cross!
I couldn't believe it. My detector said it was a pull tab. I'm so glad
that I dig it up anyway. I've been really frustrated lately because
I haven't been finding anything and so todays find made up for all
of my off days. WooHoo!!!! AP was kind of mad about it but I figure
since he usually finds all the stuff it was my turn so all I can say is
suck it up AP.

Im not into electronics but I think I know how to fix this thing, I know the button I need. Hardest part will be soldering the wires but............Im a welder so I dont think it'll be too hard to do. Im not spending another $100 on another pinpointer & Im not using LQ's Tinytec pinpointer! (my god I hate that thing!) I'll let ya'all know how it turns out.

Are you referring to a White's Bulleye pinpointer. I went through 2 of them in the last 6 months. I've sent the last one back to White's for repair/replacement. I thought it would be real difficult without it and while it would have been nice a few times to have it, I haven't missed it too awful much.
When I called White's I asked them if they've had people sending them back in and they said no. Those pinpointers are warrantied for 1 year, so I would send it back to them for replacement. maybe if they get enough of them, they'll figure out the design problem.
Also you may want to contact your Credit card company and tell them that what you bought is broken and they will most likely pay for a replacement. I did it once with American Express.

Yeah its a Bullseye2 by Whites. I opened it up & will stop by Radio Shack & get a heavy duty push button. Couple of solder points & a lil hot glue & it'll last a long time! (I hope) I'll let ya'all know how it goes..........

Same thing happened to my bullseye. Bought it in march and sent it back in may. They sent me a brand new one and had it in 5-days. It did cost me all the shipping costs though.
