im using the 9" coil no cover do you think it is the soil ? works ok in the dry sand at the beach

the places i was at over the weekend were just the reg red dirt we have here theres not many power lines in that area a very old area i came from detroit so i know what your talking about with the power lines i thought it might be a common problem

what kind of batteries are you using ? some batteries don't work with all detectors.
another thing you can do, a hard reset. turn on the MD, let it get ready to detect
then, pull the battery out and count to 10 slowly and reinsert the battery
if that doesn't work, try to use the factory coin program. if that doesn't work
it may have to go into White's
