[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 17256, member: 487"] Hi there, which coil and settings were you using? I mainly use the 11" DD on the beach. With search mode: Deep or General and timings: Coin/Relic or normal. Coil set to DD mode. Cancel if EMI is severe. Were you able to ground balance it? Sometimes Deep and Coin/relic can be too sensitive to EMI, in that case I usually go to General and Normal. What was the noise like? A constant dragging type of sound or beeps and pinging types of sounds. A constant dragging could be black sand or saturated sand. Non-repeatable beeps and pings (false signals) could be RF or EMI. Always do an auto scan first and then a proper ground balance after selecting settings. General and Normal are a good place to start though. [/QUOTE]
