It is beeping in the hole but nothing is in the hole. When I lay it to the side to clean out the hole it beeps 2 or 3 times in a row every 3-5 seconds. Sometimes it will beep when I put it to the plug but it's just a short quick beep and then nothing. Any ideas? And is it weird that my pointer came with the battery already in it. Usually things the require a battery it isn't installed yet.

I moved this find from Metal Detecting over to Garrett for more exposure.

DO you turn it on and leave it on? If so it is in alarm mode. You need to turn it on when you are going to use it and off again once you recover your target.

No its not that...Ithey was I had it set to highest sensitivity so I turned it to the #2 sensitivity and it's fine now.

Had a similar issue....New battery, on find target then back off, and ground balance should solve any problems.
