Over the years.

[stop.end 4,079]

Terrier location has progressed a great deal from when I started out 38 years ago.... its went from the first prototype put out by fieldsports then deben bought the patent, and brought out what we all know and loved.. the grey knocker box...then some terriermen started to get savy and tentacles were widened to the European Market and the pieps box with the bellman came out, then some seen the barryvox pulse at work and some prefer that... which I personally think is the best box.. 

First box  the first prototype 

Second the grey knocker box 

3rd the first pieps box 

4th barryvox pulse 

Personally I love hearing the bleeps of all ... but I know a lot who's to quick to knock them on... for me when a terrier drops I know we are on... I love the whole anticipation of the find and speak... and using what we used to when we hadn't the bleepers lol.

Nothing compares to the original (bellman) pieps box for me ,as for the red box I've had 4 of them which were pure dirt always some problem with them,  Nothing wrong barryvox either another great box

Do you want to part with that knocker box?

The Pieps boxes regularly would land on the side of the dog I found. Never had the Barryvox things, couldn’t stand the noise of them.

Does anyone know if Bellman plan on making a new box any time soon?

The break through is often where most go wrong from what I’ve seen .No finder will put you directly on the dog in all soil types .

Pays to listen when you have a flat bottom to the dig and you think you are inches away .Even mute dogs need to breath heavy .

I used to be so hyped up to break through when I was  younger  that I’d collapse it in on the dog ,separate quarry or miss the tunnel completely until I started listening to the dog .The ultimate break through to me is on the dogs neck so the soil can be moved away gradually to see exactly what’s going on even if the dog is screaming to the max .I’ve always stuck the spade in when alls good keeping quarry in the stop and check the dog over .

Others do it differently .

Nice to see the advance in tech Mark .Thanks for sharing

Me personally, I like to break through either on top of the dogs back or just behind the tail ... then proceed to backfill behind the dog and absolutely nothing is pushing past...

Mate i can work all around a dog on a breakthrough... underneath it, all around the head.. his paws anywhere...that terrier should have only one thing on his mind and that's what's in front of him... a shovel shy terrier no good to no man.

Something I've ALWAYS got an eye on when breaking through,  I hate to see a terrier take it's eye of the ball, something isn't quite right when they aren't 100% focused on the job
