Went fresh water hunting today with my Kruzer and 7" concentric coil. Was using 3 tone, 88 sens, 0 disc, 0 notch, vol 2. Every time I got a surface target such as a pulltab or bottle cap I got an overload signal. If it was just a very small piece of foil, it didn't overload. Was just wondering if this is normal? Do I have to lower my sens to avoid it overloading? It really doesn't bother me that much, but have never had a detector that overloads on coin sized targets. Thanks

Kruzer Overload Signal?

I like the overload, lets me know a coin is near the surface, so I don't have to dig a plug, I can just probe, maybe just flip it out of the ground. I would hate surface foil overloading on a continual basis. Its a good thing it doesn't.
You can try lowering the Gain. Or run the coil higher off the ground.

Work the search coil roughly 2" off-the-ground surface. That will counter the overload effect of smaller-size offenders like bottle caps. If you get the Overload audio alert, just raise the coil an inch or so. it also helps eliminate back-reading and overload of the ground signal.
