I am in Norfolk for a few days for business, so I headed to VA Beach last night with the MXT. I went down to the water's edge in the shallow water.
As soon as I turned my detector on and balanced it, I got a steady +0 VDI that wouldn't settle. I tried adjusting the disc and gain, but to no avail. Wherever I swung the coil, the +0 reading wouldn't go away. When I moved up to the dry sand, I didn't have this problem. I got no reading until I was over the target.
Why would the wet sand and water cause my detector to do this and is there a solution?
Thanks,
J
