Got a sea hunter mk2coil pinouts?

Garrett are not helping themselves here either as the market is now flooded with very good (spot on in fact) chinese copies especially of the Ace250 which is a very light and capable machine for most uses.
Just a shame is all, so summat else will just have to live in its shell and use its control gear etc I shall call the new model the Hermit Crab MK4

Thats interesting, if I was running a company I would sell to anybody who would buy my products not restrain trade.

Garrett nowadays has its cheaper models like the ace series built in foreign climes therefore inevitably because once tooled up the production line doesn't like to stand idle, lookylikeys begin to appear between runs and boards etc are quickly cloned.
The motto of this is keep proprietary tech proprietary and produce in-house wherever possible.
Better to sell a really innovative product properly made (safeguards built into the boards) it is expensive but you pay peanuts you get monkeys.
The Hermit Crab MK4 tm will be a fully discriminating Deep seeking PI with on board magnetometer selling for £11:50p including p and p LOL Snarrff

There is a video on YouTube where a guy disassemble a Garrett sea hunter mark2.
Also from what I've seen, the detector can eliminate bottle caps which is good for the beaches down in Trinidad where I live. All the beers come in glass bottles, so no pull tabs to deal with. I've been hunting the beaches here for about 5 years, and bottle caps is a pi greatest enemy.

The circuit board is smd components and the micro doesn't fail, a good cleaning and care and she will be good to go.

Hmm i may revisit it at some point but i cleaned everything resoldered the smd's that had been left by one end when they obv realised it was beyond them checked all the dodgy looking ones that had been cooked and still not a bleep bleep bleep bleep to be had thanks for the encouragement i will give it another squiz when i get time.

Go over pcb with strong magnifying glass, look for cracks or any damages. Then I would start to check for voltages, proper power supply. Then you can wave a piece of metal over coil while checking preamp output. If the front end if functional, then you know that the problem is further down the chain. You can scope the sampling. This you will know if micro is working. Etc.

Many people have expressed disappointment with it's performance, but if I can tune out bottle caps and still get down to 8 inches in wet sand, I'm reasonably happy. I'm in no condition to be digging them two foot holes, only to find a bloody crusty old bittlecap

Yeah read you loud there brother!

Bad luck it was such a dud, you should be able to salvage a few parts from it
, its more ELIMINATION than discrimination capabilities, along the lines of this graphic.

I have a seahunter and they work ok, garrett sales have plummeted here in Australia since they stopped their internet resellers selling direct to Australian customers and force us to buy from the "official" importer, so we boycott all garrett products

they all do the same.
try to buy anything Whites, it's also a No Go.

you can't even buy ML from US and have it posted here.
