So I know this detector has been out for a few years and there was a lot of posts and online activity in the past. I’m confused as to why the extreme bump sensitivity in Goldfield mode is not being discussed more. EVERY SINGLE time the coil brushes up against grass, small twigs, coil touches the ground, bumping small rocks, etc results in falsing and noises. Impossible to skim the coil along the top of the ground. This is with the M11 coil and sensitivity at 20. Is that too high in this mode? I’m expecting to detect 5-10 grain flakes of gold a couple inches deep. Are the factory settings all wrong or is this how this detector operates?! Am I being a cry baby having to learn a new detector? I’d compare it to a semi truck at night with a loose headlight bouncing around. Am I missing something here? People have said to buy an aftermarket lower shaft. I don’t see how this would have anything to do with bump falsing except maybe it’s stiffer? Appreciate any discussion that results.

Also does anybody make a solid coil cover? This open coil design seems to welcome vegetation and rocks to get hung up between the webs adding to the bump falsing. Coming from a Goldbug/Makro Gold Racer.
