I was detecting in the Ocean this weekend and had troubles stabilizing the machine. The coil situation I understand as it was detecting the salt in the water but the unit attached to my belt was sounding off terribly when hit by waves. I had to come in and switch to my land headphones to decrease the volume which I cannot do with the blue diving ones.

Is there any one else who has any advice?

check the coil wire connection on the control box. get the unit running grasp the wire lightly at the control box connector and lightly flex it. if you get a falseing that could be your problem but!, you weren't specific about how deep the coil was under the water - sounds like you were waist deep with the control box being hit with waves.
