Got the light rigged up for the night hunts. Used an old pill bottle to house the 9v battery and switch. Zip tied the bottle to the detector and then through some tape around it. I have the lights setup on an angle (can't tell from the pic) so they don't blind you. Lights up the screen perfectly!

Others may have beat me to it. Got the idea off the internet. Seen quite a few other people do it. Wish I was the first though! :lol:

I think I'm gonna try myself , nothing personal ,I just love to tinker with stuff like that but don't be surprised if I take you up on the offer :) If I were you I would still contact Garrett just cause you seen it on the Internet dosent mean someone submitted it what's the worst that can happen they say no ? And what's the best they offer you some $$$$ for the idea

I completely understand. I like tinkering with things to.
Going to check there website for contact info and also to be sure that they don't offer something like it.

Finally got my 350 in everything works so far I also got a coil protector for it , I thought it was stupid at first but when you think about it
The coil dose get rubbed against the dirt a lot so I picked one up on eBay for 17.00 beats having to get another coil!
Hopefully gonna get out there soon and put it to the test :D

I tried with my Bounty Hunter at a small beach in Stratford a few weeks ago. Found a bunch of pennies and dimes, plus your normal bottle caps and junk. I would like to hit some of the more popular beaches.
