Hi, this afternoon while detecting with my new Ace 300, In coin mode, I noticed that it was staying quiet for a longer than normal time. I put a penny down on the ground and it didn’t detect it even with the sensitivity almost all the way up. I put a quarter down and that was giving me a 40 signal. Then I switched to relic mode and found a few pennies that came up as between 36 and 38. Yesterday the pennies were ringing up as 80 something I think.
I ended up playing around with the sensitivity and it would start beeping uncontrollably when the sensitivity was all the way up.
When I got home I did some bench tests. A wheat penny was ringing up at 38 and only detected it at one inch from the coil. Any further from the coil and it would not detect the penny.
Did I get a faulty unit or is this normal? Thanks!!!
