i think we've all done it, also walking 100yds with the sunray probe switched on instead of the coil 
Just kidding .However I watch my sens. readout way to close for that to happen to me.I find the fluctuating sens. levels quite informative at times.When it drops a bunch usually a lot of iron and or minerals/cinders present.Also find that when auto level drops even though hunting in manual sens that signals from deeper targets can change and become less normal sounding causing me to dig more iffy signals with good results.
Sensitivity 2 or 3 works better than 1!!! :biggrin ---Just kiddin ya!---I guess that's one of the FEW things I haven't been guilty of! 
--I want that baby as "hot" as I can get for the existing conditions, so watch my sensitivity very carefully.---Now runnin around with the probe on---OH YEAH, I can relate to that!!! 
----Find some good stuff out there everybody & even more importantly, have fun while you're doing it!

I've done that once..... but thankfully I realized it after 15 minutes of nothing. 
My worst experience however, was something similar. I was detecting near dusk and I was not wearing my glasses. My detector starting beeping all wierd, and I seriously thought my detector was broken. I walked back to my car frusterated and destroyed. I was about to drive away then I realized maybe I accidently changed some settings. Sure enough, I somehow managed to change the response setting to pitch hold. D'oh!
