Hi Everyone 
Sorry for posting here as seems to be no seperate thread for my machine.
Here goes
I have bought a used Minelab Muskateer Advantage.
The battery low sound was bleeping so I put in new ones, all the correct way round but machine still dead.
Put the old ones in and it works!
Brought some brand new Duracells......put them in .....No power!
Ok so put 6 new Duracells in and 2 old depleted ones and it works!
It seems that the machine will not function with a set of new batteries in, kinda like the voltage is too high or a voltage regulator if there is one, isn't functioning.
Can any offer some advice please?
Marc
