I designed this mount to attach a fullsized Minelab GPX battery to the detector, removing the need to run an additional power lead and harness.

I got sick of the curly cable snagging when detecting for gold in the rugged New Zealand bush, it will be great to no longer be physically attached to the detector.

Yes this will make the detector heavier, but I have found with heavier coils (I run a 14x9 NF Evo) it makes the machine perfectly balanced without the need to support the shaft with a bungy cord.

RH models will mount the battery to the right of the control box, LH models will mount it on the left.

M6 threaded rod (bunnings 1 metre length) 1 pack Zenith M6 dome head nuts (bunnings) 1 pack Zenith M6 / 1/4" washers (bunnings) 1 pack Zenith M6 hex nuts (bunnings) Printed in eSun PLA+

You Aussies are going to want to print this in PETG at a minimum.

Absolutely needed to be printed with a raft because of bed adhesion issues with very thin edge features.
