coil fault or not

Hello my md has suddenly started playing up by being very skitish and falsing,should it sound when you touch the ferrule on the input socket.

had a similar fault on my original minelab coil. it was buggered, bought a platypus coil, finds went up and slightly lighter, was very happy the original one gave up, it was ghosting at the end of every swing, and any movement on the socket would make it beep, so pleased i swapped.

Its still under warranty im tryin to establish if its definitely a fault.cheers

Hi Challymoose...

What machine are you swinging and does the fault still manifest itself if you turn the sensitivity down a bit...???

Hmmmmm...

I do seem to remember that there have been other posts on here saying that there were a bad batch of coils that were fitted to the G2... Best get it back to your supplier if it is still under warranty and let them sort it...
