Eliminator e-120 modification

[Mike(Mont)]

I saw on youtube a frequency-driven locator had L-rod and wrist grounding strap connected to the generator. A while back I was messing with the Eliminator e-120 and removerd the ground spike and connected a wire from there to the L-rod. It didn't work all that well so I shelved it. After seeing the locator video I decided to connect a wrist grounding strap and see what happens. I tossed a gold ring test target out and did a rod sweep and started walking to the general area. Then the rod pulled a little to the right. It was aimed directly at the test target. For 250 euros probably the best locator for that price. Make sure if you try to make this modification that you have a resistor in line on the wrist strap. My multimeter not real accurate says 85 ohms. I could feel a tingle when pointing at the test target. As always, any locator that uses an L-rod will require many, many hours to master, but it can be done if you have the desire. GDI Detectors
