Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Good news. Will they work with the old collars or will you need a new collar that works with the new box? Quote Link to post
terryd 8,522 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Be glad when there is one. Be a funny old game with no ferret finder. Like going back 35 years or more and pissing about shoving brambles down hole and digging holes all over the place 2 Quote Link to post
Guss33 375 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just out of interest does anyone know if it would be available in Australia and the price of them. Don’t think any less of me but being ferreting of and on for years and never used or even seen one in Australia. Most of the ground we ferret on is quite hard and rocky where you would need a backhoe to dig. So far being very lucky and not lost a ferret yet. Have being held up from time to time but not long. I think it is time to start using them. Quote Link to post

I’d throw it in the bin if a new one comes out. Shame no one can recalibrate the mk3m Deben are still fixing Mk3 Boxes or they was, fixed mine in Feb this year Quote Link to post

Arry 22,147 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Somebody on ebay selling new MK1 boxes £155. Sold by KLM zytecsystems. Pictures of the insides looks the same as old MK1's reckon they might had bought the rights of Deben's or the Patent has run out. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post

Mr Wilkes 3,026 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I bought one from Jim chick years ago and as he said it’ll cut out ( bleeping) when you get nearer the collar, it did at 10” and was a right feckin pain… if these pick up inches away from the collar then I’ll buy one.
