Question on MDs

I took the Bounty Hunter Platinum out yesterday even though it was snowing.
When I first took it out of the warm truck it was going crazy with all sorts of beeps. After a few minutes it settled down and was working normal even though all I found was a wad pic f buried tin foil.
Is it normal for detectors to be temperature sensitive?

It's a temperature drift (coil changes its liner dimensions whilst being cooled, GB drifts and detector produces falsings. Get the coil outside for 15 minutes, have some tea and then proceed hunting

There are coils those handle significant temperature changes without falsing (no temperature drift) but they won't fit yr detector

I think it could also be condensation om the electronics caused by the drastic temp change, but I'm no expert.
