9” coil went belly up today

Went out to detect some of my older haunts today and everywhere EMI as soon as I turned on the system. Tried reducing Sens, and freq, and going to mono. Had to leave the areas as nothing was working. Finally decided to move to a third area -same. So shut it down and restarted and seemed good to go. Got a mixed signal and it was a coin spill. Recovered 4 qtrs, 4 dimes , & 2 cents. Not bad so commenced to sweeping got another good hit in 90’s then dead. Took one of the quarters and threw it down, nothing. Turned off and on again and coil flashed and turned on but nothing of a signal. Went home tried several times and nothing. Very strange. Reckon it’s going back for warranty replacement on Monday. I have noticed off and on lately when I turn it on I get a lot of emi in areas I frequently don’t see that. I make a few adjustments and after a while no more emi. Maybe it was on the way out when that was happening. Don’t know.🤔🤬
 
If you don’t have one of the other coils you could try reloading software, though it does sound like it’s on the coil end. Does your controller show the coil battery life? What does it say? Quite honestly that’s the first D2 coil I’ve heard of going bad, if that’s what happened.

It was fully charged same as the WS6 and WSAII. I just remembered I was out doing curb strips yesterday after going out for only a couple of hours when my coil quit on me. It was fully charged when I went out then. Thought wow dead after only two hours hunting!
So charged up the D1 and went curb strip hunting for about 1 1/2 hrs. Found 1dollar coin,8 qtrs, 9 dimes, 10 Pennie’s, 2 tokens , 1 ear clip, 1steel ring. I miss the bottle cap reject. All the caps went to the curb for the street sweeper.😊

I don’t have another coil but pretty sure this one is toast. I searched and also believe this might be the first that I know of croaking.

Just got notified by Moe the coil is being replaced and the old coil has been sent to France. They couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it at detector services. New coil should arrive this Thursday.

Had similar promblem twice with mine 9 inch coil ws6master, went dead locked up machine and wsa2xl headphone for short time.did it twice ,changed charging clamp to see if that helped .Will have to see because it just does it out no where but noticed it seem to happen when I do aEMI scan might have send in.
 
I just bought the 11” coil to have a backup coil. Also been using the ole D1 and doing quite well with it . Found fifty three bucks in clad in the last week and two days. I hit a field Saturday I was sure would have been gone over by now and found 22 quarters and 23 dimes. Hot program on D1 won’t miss much.

Wow, that must be a record in cash coins! Unless of course you’re in Canada finding two and three dollar coins? Congratulations!
