I had pretty much forgot how tiring that style pole setup can be. Not only did my wrist give out, it also made the old elbow hurt. I bought the two box to hunt cannon balls on my son in laws Aunt and Uncle's land at Brices Crossroads, but they got in a messy divorce right after I got it, the land was sold and I never got to hunt there so I haven't used it much. Once looking for silverware that was buried to keep the yankee solders from getting it during the Civil War - http://members.boardhost.com/cleotus/msg/8642.html -, once looking for $20,000 that was buried in the 1920's and three or four times for locating underground valves for the city water department. Found the water valves, found out the Civil War silver was dug up by freed slaves right after the war and the $20,000 is still in the ground in Sipsie Bottom unless someone else found it 
. I've got a 12.5 inch coil for the MH-7 to go with the standard coil and two box "Depth Multiplier" attachment. Everything works well but I really don't have any use for it and have been thinking about putting it on the classifieds.
By the way The $20,000 was actually buried and documented, as was $11,000 in a separate container, by a man, last name was Pickle, who owned a lot of land, several houses and a store. He wrote down the details and approximate locations in one of the ledgers he kept records of people who bought stuff on the credit at his store but when he died in the early 1930's his family couldn't find it. Both caches were supposedly a combination of paper money, gold and silver coins in glass jugs. The $11,000 was, it was found in the early 1970's by a man who had bought the land a couple of years earlier when he was digging a septic tank with a backhoe, but unless someone found the $20,000 and kept it quiet, it's still there. The guy let us hunt it, but only gave us one shot. All we found was rusty buckets and junk, but we got a big kick out of hunting it.
