need urgent help with T2

[bigmike]

HI, my one month old T2 went crazy friday nite right after I found a 1828 large cent,detector is in overload condition when turned on,if I unplug coil it does the same thing,it keeps saying raise coil ,overload conition,any suggestions please?

I would simply call.......don't email.........the factory. Ask to speak to a T2 tech. Sounds like service is needed. The number is 1-800-413-4131

Those darn 1828's, we gotta put a warning in the user's manual not to swing over 1828's, that date will blow a machine every time!

Actually, the thing to do is to check the obvious stuff-- put in new batteries, disconnect and reconnect the searchcoil and make sure it's installed securely. If those things don't resolve the continuous overload problem, it's probably a failed searchcoil, but it could also be something failed inside the machine. Which presumably means a trip to the metal detector hospital in El Paso.

Dave J.....and his crazy humor And yes...do follow his suggestions before calling. He's the lead engineer of the compnay that manufactured your machine.

It's cool that the head engineer takes time to help us.

sounds like your coil took a dump.
Same thing happened to mine practically out of the box.
Factory is great at responding and fixing the unit quickly, but seems to be a well documented issue. bummer...
