Overload - Please Raise Coil

Kolesmom2003 · Mar 9, 2013

Hello Everyone!! I took my detector out in my yard today since the weather was nice. It was my first time using it since I got it. I found a tin can (like for tuna or something), the end of a Remington shotgun shell & a handle. In one section of my yard I kept hitting a spot that would read Aluminum Overloading - Please Raise Coil. When I dug all I found were tree roots. Has this happened to anyone before? Thanks.

What detector are you using and you probably got a can about 2 feet below the ground.

Happens to me when there is a big piece of iron in the ground. I guess if it is big enough any type of metal will do it. Those big pieces are usually quite deep too.

Teknetics Delta 4000. The hit seems to be bigger than the ones for the can, and the handle I found.

Turn your sens way down until it quits over loading. I do that with my whites but still usually wind up with can slaw or a big piece of junk lol. Just never know!

Gotta know

Keep us informed.
Winter has been tough. We need a diversion

Well, sorry to say it was NOT a safe!!! Instead, I found a coiled up cable. I wasn't able to get it out of the ground as the other end seemed to go forever. So I left it.

Maybe the other end is attached to the safe... :shrug:
