Just a question...

[Mr B]

I have a tesoro outlaw with several coils. They all ground balance properly except for the 5.75
When I get a positive ground reading, I turn it negative and it gets more positive.
If I turn it positive it smooths out and works fine.
I"ve been using it this way for a long time without any problems.
Is it possible this coil has wires reversed in regard to the ground balance?
Just curious if anybody else has come across this situation.

Not sure. But my 5.75 runs really hot.
I use it to scan rocks for mineralization. Gold an silver.

I have never experienced this with my Vaquero.
I have three coils and they all ground balance normally.
Just curious… if you continue to turn the ground balance after it quiets down, does it give a negative ground balance response?

 

[Mr B]

It's weird , but if I turn my ground balance all the way positive , I get a negative ground reaction.
If I turn it all the way negative, I get a positive ground reaction.
I've used it this way for a long time and It doesn't effect coil performance.
None of my other coils react this way, and the 5.75 does ground balance. just fine.

I just have to think in reverse.

To Odenscoils: I agree , that coil is supernatural for discrimination in trashy spots and goes deeper than you would expect.

Yes. Very good in trash.
I was surprised it could see small mineralization in rocks.

This is from an older post: If you disassemble the plug, this is the correct pin rotation.

The standard pattern is as follows:

Pin 1 = Orange
Pin 2 = *not used
Pin 3 = Purple
Pin 4 = Grey
Pin 5 = Ground/Shielding (center pin)

The pins and female recepticles are numbered on each insert for easy referrence.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out.
