Well, it has been quite a while since I have been able to detect but got to go out today. Sure enjoyed it!! Found 5 solid base 3 ringers (two chewed and 3 drops), a round ball, 1958 Quarter, 1941 Merc, and a 1916 wheat penny! Anyway, about halfway through my hunt I noticed my coil falsing alot. I figured out that I have a bad coil. It would false when I bumped it on something and false when I bumped the armguard to my forearm. I put the small coil on it and it didnt do it so I am assuming the large coil is bad. I have only used the machine a half dozen times since I bought it but I bought it in May of 2011 so I should have warranty left. I am hoping I can just send my coil back and get a replacement so i can still use it during this prime time if just with the small coil. Is this something that they will do for me or will I have to send the whole thing back? Also, if anyone has any suggestions for me to try to make sure the coil is bad I am all ears.
I am a little upset that something so new would mess up like this but I could at least pick out some good targets. Still I wonder what I could have found with the machine working right! Oh well,
I was running the machine as follows:
BP mode with a sensitivity anywhere from 45 to 75 (it falsed everywhere I tried it)
4H tones
Ground balance around 60
Thanks
