Hello again, I recently made a post about recently buying a used Excalibur II. I've taken it outside to the front yard to test it and I've noticed that no matter what settings I try I can't get that "hum" that. In PP to be able to hear any threshold, even when the coil is hanging off the bed, I have to turn it about half way and I'll start to hear the sporadic threshold but not continuous. When I turn it about 80% you can hear the threshold at all times but you can tell that it is getting a little bit of interference. In Disc mode it's almost impossible to get a constant threshold sound, I have to almost max it and it's really loud. The volume knob seems to effect only the sound it makes when there is metal in front of it, not the threshold sound. I've tried playing with all the settings, normally leave sensitivity between 7-6. When you pass over metal it sounds fine, excluding the threshold sound. Should I just leave it just under where it makes a threshold sound, where I don't hear anything when not going over metal, or should I get this looked at? Is it faulty or is it user error? Thank you.
