be intersting to see if it works under ground ???????????

Yes. Keep us informed of the results, sounds very interesting

have seen this mentioned before, and if it works then great,

 

but,

 

if it dont, then thats £60 down the swanny,and still need to lay out £100 on a proper one,

 

plus its locate only, so if it does get you above your fert, you still dont know how far down it is, a foot or 15 foot?

means having to dig slower, save cutting your fert in half with a shovel

 

think for the extra £40 Id rather know the depth too

a very valid point as the wellfare of your ferret must come first

i aint fussed about the £60... if it dont work with the ferrets id stick it in my planes... and obviously if it dont tell me the depth i wont be using it. but as the add says it searches up an inch !

before i forget i have a mk3 locator, but theres no harm in trying new methods..... as i say you could always use this for working dogs aswell.

If you got the money to waste then fair play, I want something thats for ferrets not planes.....

 

MK1 and MK3 are both good locators, not need to bugger about trying to find a better one.

They said they will have a look at whats involved for now, they didnt totally dismiss the idea theres no harm in a little competition in my opinion
