Inside a search coil....

[spyguy]

After 12 years my factory coil bit the dust so I decided to open it up. I just wanted to confirm there weren't tiny gremlins in there averaging ground mineralization and repeatedly lying to me: "It's really a gold ring this time not another pull tab --- dig it!"

It takes a long time for manufacturers to train those gremlins to recognize and ID finds and now you have allowed some to escape to invade the rest of our coils.
I see an anomaly coming.
