Here’s a good video shows coil working properly

 

[Justme]

ill check that when i get home, but i use rs on a low numberq

 

[Cameraniac]

waved a quarter down the center, nothing.

It shouldn't signal if you are following the center line. Should if you are crossing it, though.

I usually run my recovery speed at 4.

It does not when crossing center of coil. just outside edges

Is that in every mode.

I'd give Minelab a call, and talk to one of their techs..

 

[Justme]

my dealer knows, hes researching gor me

 

[Justme]

conclusion: its a bad coil. will be sending to minelab in a day or two

Almost seems like coil was wired backwards.

 

[Justme]

i hope they turn around quickly

They should send you a new one through your dealer or directly to you with a return label for the defective one.

Still learning here.
It seemed to hit off center for me on iron and junk.
A quarter inch perfect round ball of can slaw.
Painted a perfect coin circle.
Said 6 inch's down. Turned out 2 inch's.
And pinpointed off to the side of coil.
Not down the center.

mine does the same. I've also noticed if I turn 90 deg, the signal sometimes vanishes.

You and Irnwrkr should compare serial numbers.
May be from the same batch.

i first noticed it in my driveway on a surface coin. Detects on the sides but not the center. May want to investigate further. I have not heard from ML yet, but my dealer tried one that he has and it works good. So i sent mine in

I've asked about this anomaly on two different youtube channels and both replies said to send coil to ml

I just checked mine and it detects all down the center using a quarter. That’s where double D coils receive their signal, if they receive off the edges something is haywire. Get hold of your dealer and get it looked at.

Simply do just that! You own a $1600 machine. Get Minelab to make it right.
