How EMI affect metal detectors

Rammjäger · Apr 12, 2014

It never happened to me before.... my ACE250 went crazy with jumpy signals
all over the place.Then I look around and see these large high tension towers
some 200 mtrs. away.
The ground was "full of iffy signals!" .

I even tried to retune it with no sucess .After I came back home the ACE reacted back to normal again :roll:

I'm able to run mine at 2 bars sensitivity under these lines. I do have on the sniper, but can't remember if I used that setting on the 9X6.

thanks sllingshot,
I wonder what my Tesoro Cibola would do in that place.Perhaps better
performance because of the 3 frequency settings ...

cibola would likely do better due to higher frequency. power emi really bleeds through on sub 10khz machines

I never thought the problem was so acute with these EMI magnetic fields - these towers were so far away....! :shock:

I can run my 250 directly under some lines and others I can't get within 50 yards of them. Pole mounted transformers really make it crazy. I just move away when I experience this.
