[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 354291, member: 44"] Hi Kozi, without hearing it, it does sound like a too loose cable problem. 1. Firstly, I'd undo the cable from the detector and place the whole machine with shaft extended to your liking on the ground or a flat surface with the coil standing on its rear edge so the bottom is facing straight out across the ground. 2. Now instead of winding the cable around the lower shaft I'd run it straight up the side and secure it with tape or coil clips as supplied with NF coils or sold at most detector shops. 3. Wind it around the top shaft but not too loose or tight but enough so there is not too much excess where it meets the box. 4. Screw it in tightly. Doing it as in step 1 gives you the right amount of free play in the cable where it leave the shaft and enters the coil when it's in normal detecting position. [/QUOTE]
