Myers Depot Metal Detectors

U.S Scoop makers. Ever try a Honey Badger?

Speaking of the Motus grip, the guy at Sito scoops told me they won't have any new ones until 2023.

I've given up and will be 3d printing myown handles along with a range of accessories to suit my D2 and Excal.

Know where to find a Motus T handle? I got an Anderson T handle. But powder coated aluminum corrodes and then messes up the carbon fiber handle.

You can guess where they are made and how much they cost. Wonder why the supplier pulled out...Probably small profit margin, increased delivery charges, unreliable delivery, tariffs, etc. Just not worthwhile to make them anymore.

I was guessing where the carbon fiber shafts are probably also made. I know you don't want to try and actually make carbon fiber tubing. Some of those assist handles you can find have big side bolts with square corner plates. You get busted up enough hunting in water as it is.

Probably, I've looked for something and nothing fits so I give up and make my own. My first run handle is almost finished printing as we speak, gotta go give it a test run but the final product will be made from polycarb with a rubber grip and stainless bolts recessed inside it. I'll probably slim down the base a bit on the next one and the rubber grip will slide over the handle part

You are old school. Landscaping company rode by yesterday had all electric lawn service with a big sit on mower. I guess as long as something doesn't pierce the rider lithium batteries the grass won't turn brown?

I love the smell of gasoline... don't take that from me... :lol:

There are a few up here running them... no thanks...

They are trying to ban our equipment like blowers etc... I say to them if the city is allowed to use them so should we...

I also tell these kind if we have to rake your leaves you will be paying huge bills... they don't get it... try raking a 3 or 4 acre property that takes a few guys half the day to clean and remove leaves with power equipment then having to use tarps and rakes...:Their $600 dollar job just went to $2500

Neighbor bought one of those new electric walk behinds. You got to mow Bahia grass every 4 days around here. He just hired a landscaper to deal with it a couple weeks ago and leaned the mower against a corner. Bahia is tough on mowers. You get slow, move to where you can mow grass in November/ December. And you can use a T Rex since we don't know what rocks look like on a beach:lol:

Have you ever seen a lithium fire? Can't be put out with water... gotta let it burn...


So much for lithium powered buses in this CT town...

I watched it burn... it was on the news... they had to let it burn...

I was thinking of a new type of a scoop i might make a prototype of in the winter if the opportunity comes up.
Also a new type of lower shaft that would be groundbreaking to say the least. This one will take a dozen or so trial amd errors.. Not sure I want to even start at it
