I read that too.Originally Posted by Lope_along
In theory, it should be possible, since cell phones emit signals just like any other interference does. In practice, I think the metal in my boots and my monster steel digger, affects my machine more than my cell phone does lol But it may have some silent interference that does not produce a falsing on your machine. Best bet is to limit the amount of any type of interference, if you can.

I also ran into situations where power lines will interfere with a metal detector. It really sucks when you find a cellar hole near the road

A sure sign I'm starting to day-dream is when my model-58 by Predator Tools starts beepin' because
I'm letting it swing too much as I walk.

I carry a cell phone with me all the time. I have never noted any interference. There are various reports of the phones emitting short blast of interference causing signals when initiating a call or polling on a incoming call intended for it. This would be an easy experiment to conduct. I will let you know what I find. Good project for the weekend.

From the land of the Bluenose.....don't know about that one but high power lines will and some atmospheric conditons will.

Mine too...because it rings!!rofl
It's never bothered me when I left it in the truck....hmmm funny?
I wear carpenter pants all the time and keep my phone in the pocket on the right leg.
I can tell when it's about to ring , I can hear... (I don't know how to explain this) ...interferance or faulsing or chattering or something like that. But I'll hear a thump or a click before , so I know it's going to be the phone.

On the DFX, V3, and Xterra 70, the cell phone causes a chattering tone. Too bad they can't build a cell phone into the detectors, so we could talk and detect at the same time. Or how about a clock on the detectors display, so we know when to go home.
Metal Detector, Inline Pinpointer, 6th Sense
Bingo! on the clock.
And why not? A simple digital clock is practically nothing in ram or rom going back
even into the old DOS 3.0 / B.A.S.I.C. days. Come'on White's!
I've even started carrying a cheap pocket watch because I hate wrist watches
and don't carry a cell-phone. You would think the V3i would've included this but
whatever,...

The Etrac or a cz5 I don't think so , but on my f75 yes.
