Gogmeister Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I have been using the Gold Screamer Power pack here in Nevada for the last 10 days, and I have to say I wouldn't go back to Minelab's battery and coiled lead system. This isn't because of the improved boost features or stabler performance, it's because I love the new sense of freedom I'm experiencing.I've always found Minelab's coiled lead very intrusive, the coils tangling (locking together) and impeding my swing.... or when digging a large deep signal, it becomes a real choir to disconnect myself from the detector to allow greater freedom. With the Gold screamer Power pack, I just un-hook the bungee clip and I'm totally disconnected from the detector (which is still switched on.) I did have concerns that the battery pack connected to the detector would make it heavier, but in all honesty I haven't noticed any difference.Well done Doc for a great product! and thanks Rob for getting it to me in good time.

doer Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I DO love my CoilTek Pocket Rocket Li-Ion power pack and would recommend it to anyone. Just always keep it topped-charged up. I mounted mine right on the detector with the short power cord. Oh yes the freedom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks Gogmeister.Rob, and two of his friends and I had the first four prototypes, and within 10 minutes of using it I knew I would never need or use a power cord again. Rob and his friends were of the same opinion. And like you, I just don't notice any weight difference.Thanks for the nice endorsement,DocI have been using the Gold Screamer Power pack here in Nevada for the last 10 days, and I have to say I wouldn't go back to Minelab's battery and coiled lead system.

MrSandsman Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I had been using mine the day it came out and I took a friend into the field who just purchased a new 5K we hit the hills and hunted most the day with little problems. My friend keep saying how he hated being attached to the machine he saw me put my detector down and was envious I did not have to take off that factory mess. Then the afternoon hit and we were hiking up a hill when I heard my friend give out a yelp I looked back and he was all tangled put in a cactus. The factory cord had gotten wrapped around a tree and it threw him off balance and he fell into a cactus. When we got home he ordered the GOLD SCREAM and has not looked back since.Thanks DOC HOTROCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benz Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I used it for the first time this weekend and loved it. At first I didnt like the change. It was a little different, but its AWESOME having the ability to change the volume. The boost is real nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeagle Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 No cables to tangle up sounds like a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
