Hi,
I recently inherited a Garrett ADS Deepseeker. I have never used a metal detector, and after going through the user manual, it seems that this unit is not working properly. When I turn it on, I can adjust the "Tuning" to achieve a faint tone. When I place the coil over a metallic object nothing happens. The unit came with 2 different coils and both behave the same way. Doing some searching on the internet for schematics for this unit I came across one for a similar unit. The schematic showed two coils, a Tx and a Rx coil.
The coils I have, have a few feet of cable then have a 4 pin connector on the end of the cable that plugs into the detector.When I check the resistance of these pins I measure approx 5 ohms between only 2 of the pins, Should I measure 2 different coils in this connector?
Any other ideas on what might be wrong with the unit would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
