White they said it wasn't good for regular gold finding mainly coins

I have whites M6' haven't prospected with it yet, so I am guessing, over load on heavily mineralized soil maybe?

I agree "overload" would be my guess...?

Sounds like "overload" to me as well. Yoy may have been swing over some slightly buried metal roofing or something similar. To check, you could put a fair sized piece of metal on the ground and put the coil nearly touching and see if the same sound repeats.
