[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 472034, member: 8209"] Evening VGC. Haven't used an Xterra before but a few simple things to check could be that the coil connections are nice and firm at both ends and that the coil cable is wrapped firmly and secured around the shaft as the cable moving will create noise. Putting your phone on the opposite side of your body should fix the issue there. Keys shouldn't make any difference. Were you using a speaker or headphones? Just check connections, etc there. When first using a detector it is also probably worth starting at an almost clean site and practice finding small bits of aluminium, lead, etc (they should simulate small gold re: VID's and tones). Starting in thick iron and being able to sort out all the noise is a big ask. And as Roy is about to suggest, turning down your sensitivity may help so that the unit isn't just overloaded with so many intense signals. There is also a thread here that you may not have seen that may help [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15568[/url] Best of luck. I hope you get things under control ;) [/QUOTE]
