Subject: Another tip for Static Electricity
In reply to: jim straight 's message, "Re: 10 Hours on the MiniDD Coil" on 20:05:16 07/02/02 Tue

Hi Jim, Ron......

Here's another little tip that might help for those who have a static electricity discharge problem with their coils....... seems to happen in very cold or very hot climates mostly.

Take along a can of "Static Guard" clothing spray, and give the bottom of your coil (or cover) a light misting before you start your hunt. Let it dry off good before swinging it in the dirt to keep the dirt from being attracted by the moisture. You should have no more problems with static discharge falsing.

(this is especially helpful for you "fast swingin'" types..... haha)

I have my primary Goldmaster coils affixed to their own permanent rods, the Twin-D on a standard S-rod, and the Gold-Max on a straight accessory hip-mount type rod assembly. By doing so, it is a simple and quick switch from one coil to the next when using a sling or chest mount for the main box. I also use the stronger fiber composite lower rods and drill a hole just large enough for the cable wires to pass through. I then un-soldered the connector at the end of the cable, and ran the respective cables on the inside of the rods, exiting the rod at the upper rear side under the arm cup. You can also drill a small hole in the end cap for the cable, making for a neat appearing set up that you will not likely ever have any problems with where cable "slop" is concerned. Be sure to leave just enough cable exposed at the lower end to compensate for coil / rod flexing. It's a quick fix that I've been doing on different machines for years, and to date, have had no problems due to coil cable falsing.
