So yesterday something really strange happened while I was detecting. I had been detecting for about a half hour and found a couple of things, the detector seemed to be working normally. Then I went to another site and started again. After walking through a tot lot I got no signals, not even trash. The AT Pro was silent. I checked to make sure it was on, it was. So I thought maybe the detector wasn't working properly. I dug a bottlecap out of my finds pouch that I had found earlier in the hunt and threw it on the ground and passed the coil RIGHT OVER IT, still no sound or signal. Puzzled, I switched the mode a couple of times to see if that helped. Nope. And keep in mind that this detector has only been out a few times, has new batteries and I have never dropped it or hit it against anything. Finally I turned the unit upside down to check on the coil, all of a sudden it starts going off when the coil is next to my finds pouch? Checked it on the ground, it was working fine. What could have caused my AT Pro to quit working all of a sudden, and then start up again? Is there something wrong with it? Has something similar ever happened to you?
