hi if you look under the terrier section third page back and under the title locator they mention bellman and flint locaters there and give a contact name and address they also give the web address but say that the site is down for the moment again not sure whether they do ferreting locaters or just terriers hope this helps let me know how you get on

Q: Why do you think the things are so expensive?

A: Because Deben have a monopoly.

 

Deben do nothing wrong, they have done nothing to prevent someone else entering the market. Its just to small for anyone else to bother.

 

There was a rumour, that the greatest rabbiter on earth, A.K.A. Brian Braindead was in the process of bringing his version out! Apparently it's electrical and will fetch around £25.00 complete, but there is one setback, the extension cable will set you back between a fiver and three hundred thousand pounds, depending on how far away from home you're working! :rofl:

Just to let you know mate,I've bought a second hand 8ft finder on ebay as well as two collars all from different sellers.There always seem to be new ones coming on ebay'but some look a bit worn out...the state of the paintwork is a clue.Search under sports and ferret but only on uk ebay as the american one has all the stupid cuddly toys and hairdressing equipment which sados buy for their ferrets.

Goo luck. Mooster of Devon.
