I recently picked up a 8" SS and was water hunting the other day and lightly hit the coil against a rock. From that point on the SS went crazy. It was hitting on targets while up in the air and making crazy sounds. I had a 10" SS before and had this happen as well once bumping it into a sand dune. I mean bump too I'm not whacking the coil into anything. I turned the power off and back on and it was still doing it. After about 10 minutes it stopped but is this normal or should I be considering sending it in for repair. BTW this was the first hunt with this detector...

I'd send it to Tesoro. Sand Sharks are built like tanks. Unless you whacked the coil hard enough to crack it (and that would require a hell of a whack) there is no way a bump would make the detector act up.

Lifetime warranty, baby - use it.
