is limiied. You should want to remem-ber though. if you spend much time using the Liberty 150, you may find yourself picking it up any time you get in the field.

The Liberty 150 has good depth of ćerecrion, decent battery life, a trash <Kil controi that does the job, and even a person who has never used a detector befote can find good targets and pin-xn with ease. The shaft length tan be adjusted for the smallest or mikst person in your TH’ing family. Ftkfes collar adjustment rings keep sectmgs m place too. Rubber pap® eimer of the lower Mizęhmzat isobtor keeps iht -tsf k in place also.

well in the space between the hand-grip and the phone piug. If you are right-handed, this isn*t a problem. Tm surę a right angle type headphone pług would alleviate this. The modę select toggle switch has an extra łong handle, and it appears as though any extra pressure applied when changing modes could cause it to break. To change batteries, the side panel must be removed. This exposes the printed board and wiring to the Controls on this panel. Unless extreme care is exercised when changing batteries, damage to the board or wiring can occur. I don’t like the fact that the batteries actually touch the board when properły installed. If the detector were dropped, for instance, the battery could damage the board or a component on it.

With its ease of use, the S249.95 priee tag, and the fact it can be broken down to fit a space of about 9 by 24

inches, you should seriously consider the Liberty 150 when in the market for a detector of this type. Availabłe accessories include a body mount kit, several coils that include the all new 6” featherweight, plus the 3”, 12” and 16” sizes. Check with your łocal Compass dealer, or contact the factory at P.O. Box 366, Forest Grove, OR 97116. For faster results, you can phone them at [phone]. Please tell them you read all about the Liberty 150 in Western & Eastem Treasures.    9
