Hey all...
I went out this morning to an old suburban park in Ontario, Ca.
The minute I turned my Safari on it was like a slot machine with noise up and down the scale.
I thought a noise cancel would take care of it.... nope!!
Went to sens button scaled down from 16 to auto. No change.
Turned machine off & on a few times.
Checked cable at the box and coil. All are okay.
Finally scaled sens down to 3, machine got real quiet, but only scratching the surface on targets. I'm not confident in the hunt at this level.
It was the same mess from one side of the park to the other, sidewalks and all.
No power lines that I could see.
Grass a little wet from an early morning sprinkle.
Finally left after about an hour of this stuff.
Arrived at a park in Pomona a couple of hours later. Pulled the Safari out on the spot and all was working fine.
Played around with sens & threshold buttons and everything checked out normal.
My question is..... "what the hell happened at the first park?"
Sabich described a scenario where the ground was unstable and undetectable. It was his version of the Bermuda Triangle. I think I was in it this morning.
It was a weird but learning experience.
Comments are appreciated.
