Long story short, my dad came one day with an old garret ads deep seeker 2 , we got batteries and went to an old " hacienda " and digged up some horse shoes and some buttons, 30-30 bullets, then we moved to a " haunted site" and after inquiring as where the haunted treasure could it be, I start detecting, a lot of old caps and wire came out but as soon as we reached the "spot" the ads stopped working, it just went off I tried 3 more times and it just went off every single time, I had downloaded the manual and had to adjust it every time and try it out with some coins and worked really good, but as soon as I get near the spot, it just wouldn't work, any thoughts????

When you say it "went off", are you saying it shut off or did it just go crazy? I swung an ADS III for several years.

I wanted to say turned off, it wouldn't do anything not a single noise, I turned it off and on, calibrate it again as the manual said, but it would do the same. I'm saving for a newer detector, I don't believe on haunted places, I know a bit about electronics and I know it needs to be certain circumstances for a electronic device to turn off. BTW I need to say I've use the ads and found clad and shot gun shells and once I found a knife blade hidding in a wall on anold house so the ads works!!!

We had an old VHF television that got ghosts when the bowtie antenna wasn't just right.
