Hey all
Got in my M6 and took it for a drive.
Went to a house and surrounding property that sits on an old railroad. The ground there is really bad with all the mineralization and stuff that has fallen from the trains. I took my Vaquero and would use the Vaquero to find a clean spot in AM then set up the GB on the M6...No matter what I did It would not remain stable...It sounded like a war under in my headphones. I tried Auto...Auto Lock after setting it up...Same....in Salt mode....Same. I tried tones mode but my brain is still recovering from that noise. I tried raising disc all the way to max but it seemed to have no effect at all and remained noisy. Yet when I lifted the coil and used disc it worked and it quieted down. I used a nickle to test and it blanked out correctly where it should on the Disc settings. I did manage to find two clad dimes thru all the noise but the VDI would not lock. The VDI was showing readings all across the board as I swept the ground. I would get a target...use pinpoint and the pinpoint always showed deeper than it actually was. One dime read 6 inches yet when I dug it was 2 inches down.
I remember way back when, I had purchased an XLT and the coil was bad. I kinda remember the detector acting the same but that was 20 years ago.
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue?
