1916 silver
Newbie
I have owned an E-TRAC for 5 years now. I hunt in coins mode at 1800's houses in my area which is between syracuse n.y. and rochester n.y. The problem I run into is that when I get within approximately 10 feet of the foundations the detector nulls and the threshold goes silent, until I move far enough away from it. I have tried every setting possible and still get the same results.Also,I have tried a smaller 5" coil. I do not think their is anything wrong with my detector. MY QUESTION IS, Has anyone else experienced this issue? I find it hard to believe that every old house I go to has metal around the entire foundation from the walls to 10 feet out. Any help would be appreciated.
