It's been a couple of months since I've posted anything. But that's because the ground has been covered in snow or simply frozen. A couple of weeks ago Mark and I finally got out (he's been braver than I have been). I had a great hunt for two hours with my AT Pro, finding four rings -- three junkers and one small silver.
But a reoccurring problem popped back up with my AT Pro. Wrist pain. For whatever reason I can't seem to handle that detector for very long without hurting. So after some research and penny saving I decided to buy an Equinox 600.
I just got it today. I assembled it and turned it on (outside in the cold wind) and immediately it started to hum without stopping or variation. No matter what I tried I couldn't get it to stop. So I eventually did a factory reset and that seemed to fix it.
Okay, so I decided to do a short hunt in a nearby park. I intentionally went to a newer area where I knew there wasn't a lot of trash. But OH MY GOSH! The Nox 600 chattered incessantly like I was hitting the trashiest area in town.
No matter what I did I couldn't get it to stop chattering. I did a noise cancel (at least twice), tried to ground balance and eventually set that to auto, adjusted the sensitivity, and changed the frequency. Nothing seemed to make a difference.
I've been over the area with my AT Pro and it never makes that much noise.
What I'm I doing wrong?
Thank you everyone!
