I picked up a nice 1220x a couple of days ago, but there may be a problem with the coil. When I turn the detector on it chatters but it does detect targets with no problems.
I thought it may be caused from the wifi or other electrical interference of some sort, but even outside it did the same thing. I replaced the batteries and wiggled the coil wire looking for a short
but couldn't find anything. I do have a friend that has a 1260x that I can try his coil on my detector to see if that is the problem. I haven't opened the detector up yet to look for a bad connection or whatever yet.
I thought I would see if anyone has a 8 inch 1220 /1260 coil laying around at a reasonable price just in case I do need to replace the coil. May also be interested in other coils if you have them that will fit the 1220x.
I'd appreciate it if you have any coils to contact me with a PM......Thanks..
