santeri 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I've dug with Deben MK1 this far, and now my new B&F set is on the way to Finland. Had a couple of digs with a friends B&F and nothing beats it at the moment. Quote Link to post

dogrun 2 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 B&F B&F It takes seconds to locate the dog and no tramping about all over a big place. accurate,waterproof ! Deben doesnt like water,or metal fence wire. pain in arse but was the best before B&F. Quote Link to post
ddsr 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Thanks for all your opinions but is it actually worth changing over to the bellman and flint when the mk1 is working fine?? Edited March 11, 2007 by ddsr Quote Link to post
Guest Haggler Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Checked some fresh sets yesterday under main power lines. They were buzzing overhead but had no effect on the Bellman and Flint locator at all. MK1 would have imploded here. Haggler Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 i've just got the deben long range finder, and i are'nt impressed at all, it was always on the dog but the depth was well out the box was atleast 3 ft out everytime i.e if it said 5 ft it was only 2 ft deep, in the end i was using my old mk 1 box with the lrt collar Quote Link to post
Guest ash Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Deben doesnt like water,or metal fence wire. pain in arse but was the best before B&F. The Long Range Collar is 100% waterproof and IMHO huge improvement over the grey box. I have not used the B&F, so can't comment which is best. All I can say is that I have found the deben long range excellent and it's been spot on time after time. I can't see in practice how you can improve on that - whats to improve? Quote Link to post
stevie g 2005 125 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 trust me mate had the long range wouldnt come no were near the bellman and flint excellent peice of kit only problem with it imo is the screw heads wear away it it can be a problem getting them out Quote Link to post
Guest ceredigion bull cross Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 i've just got the deben long range finder, and i are'nt impressed at all, it was always on the dog but the depth was well out the box was atleast 3 ft out everytime i.e if it said 5 ft it was only 2 ft deep, in the end i was using my old mk 1 box with the lrt collar i just sold my deben long range finder and thank feck for that , inaccurate piece of dog doo , i think i would have been better off with a bell on the dogs collar......bought a b+f instead it arrived today , so i've had the misses hiding the collar easy find every time , easy to use 10 minutes and got the hang of it Quote Link to post
