new locator choice

[rossthedog 76]

i imagine this topic has been gone over a few times,i started with no locator then used the old 15ft knocker box,used those for years then jumped to the b&f but thats knackered now beyond repair my fault should of taken more care its the old set the 1 with batteries in collar,now ve prob only got another 5 or 6 digging seasons in me and i will b e keeping clear of any mammoth sized digs ,so what do you reccomend just for a knock about with the terriers i like the b& f bt have no knowlede of the new long range debens are they up to the job,thank you for any replies.

i agree as long as it,s the barryvox pulse the cheaper one,s are crap

[rossthedog 76]

thank you for the replies but how does the long range deben measure up,the ferret lads dont have the choice terriermen have less choice certainly makes life simpler ,any replies from deben users would bewelcome.

Well the only deben I've used with terriers is the mk1 which I still use out ferreting and is we good, but I've got a mk3 ferret locator and its a piece of shite, so if the long range is anything is like that I wouldn't bother, If your just doing small spots I'd get another mk1,

 

Cheers fd.

Bellman and flint is d only locator to use spot on every time

[TommyTheTank 30]

The deben mk3 is good.. Especially if your not lookin for anything special because there cheaper than b&f

just as good as the rest

The deben long range has to be face down to give a proper reading if it moves to the side of the dogs neck below ground it gives a faulty reading.

I thought the same nice and cheap but thats what I found collars brake easily and can give u some real wierd readings sometimes and it does take abit of getting used too but i would not buy would stick too the b&f
