Ok, so Crumble gave me an extra XS 2a-Pro he had laying around last year to go detecting at the beach. I've got it running great, but as the hunt goes on each time, it seems that I will get a small chirp at the end of each swing, usually on the left end. I wasn't sure if the batteries were going down, or maybe the coil was lifting a tad at the end of the swing, so it would chirp a little because it was uneven. I kept texting Crumble on and off, and his advice was to make sure I stay at the recommended dial settings when running the mod that it has. Without seeing it, he was as perplexed as I was.
Well, I learned to live with it, as a small annoyance until the other day. It started chirping again on the left end of the swing, and I started thinking. Then, without much thought, I happened to reposition my scoop from where I was holding it, about waist height, and actually carry it over my shoulder. Well holly he!!, whaddya know, the chirping stopped, it's quiet as a mouse......... Duh!!!!!!!
I had to laugh and text Crumble. I think the reason it got worse as the hunt went on is because as I got tired, the scoop sunk lower and lower towards the ground. And, I always carry it with my left hand, which is where the chirping would occur, on the left. That machine is so damn sensitive, it was picking up the scoop from waist height. So, yes, I am an idiot....... But, problem is now solved........
