So daylight savings has gone so there will be a lot more night hunts.
Here's my light I rigged up today.
It was a reading light and I have just taped it to my detector.
The good thing with the ATpro is the thick clear plastic on the screen .With the light just shining threw that rather than having it on top the screen nice and low key.
Happy with the out come cant wait to try it:)

Nice idea mate. It won't replace my head lamp as primary lighting for coin and relic digging at night, but will be useful in that twilight period before the head lamp comes on. A nice little tea-time project for a cool autumn night.....like tonight!
