pkirkll Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 For all of you who have thought about getting a mod done, I thought I would show you my 3500 after Ismael sent it back.The link is to the un-boxing--- which is not a very good video, so I will post a picture of the detector control panel.Very simple, three extra switches.It only took about 2 weeks for the whole process. I sent him the detector and then the money (via paypal) and Ishmael sent it right back and it was packed better than when I sent it to him..I was impressed with the overall placement and neatness of the job on the surface.I have not had time to get out and test it anywhere yet as I am still in CO.I am excited to get to the goldfields and do some testing in May.My only regret so far is that I failed to get some baseline tests done before I sent it off for modification--- that would have made the results more quantitative..... sorry about that.But I will know if it is quieter, smoother-------and deeper.I will update as soon as possible.The un-boxing video:https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlinkThe uploader will only allow me to load 21k pics---so i added a link to a good blown up picture of the control face.Thx all and keep digging!!!!https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/2p8sXA7TwPAIDaUem45uc780fHY77FRDCLi1wGWfr5E?feat=directlink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NvDoug Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Great timing Paul.......I was just thinking about asking forum members if anybody has had mod's done and if they liked them. I also have a 3500 ... so I am real interested in hearing how your field test turns out...quieter, smoother .....deeper. I was checking out the DetectorMods web site... I think they are done by 'Woody'.I haven't really dug deep into researching it because I am leery about messing with my 3500. I think of the saying 'If it ain't broke... don't fix it' but... if they work and work well and come with some type of warranty on the work performed and is reasonable $$$ ??? who knows! I cant afford to buy a new one just yet...Any how... I sure would like to hear how yours turned out once you try it, as well as any other forum members who has had mods done. Thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank c Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 You can always do some tests side by side with someone elses 3500 when ya get the time for your own satisfaction / knowledge.Wish we were closer I'd love to do a comparison with some tests.

NvDoug Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hey Paul, Sorry I missed you. . . I would of met you out in the field if you were around the Winnemucca area. Still curious on how things worked out since the mods were done on your GP3500. Shoot me an e-mail if you plan on coming out again or just passing through. Take care, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
