...and my coil broke after 30min.
I got in about 30min at this tavern site today. I'm telling you....there is a TON of stuff hereThe land is privately owned and I'm helping the owner learn to detect...but when I'm able to concentrate there were keepers EVERYWHERE. This guy could open a museum if I was allowed to concentrate until the site was gone through. Don't believe me?...every hole I dug had multiple pottery shards, and a full oyster shell was found in one hole!
Here are the initial finds...

Just one more Beep!
You have a good excuse to treat yourself to a back up detector if you don't already have one .

There were many posts on here about coils (the internal enamel coated wires wrapped in coils) coming loose. Unless it's the connector end. You would not believe how many issues are caused at connectors. They can have stress relief but yet the internal wires still move just a bit and eventually the connection becomes poor or open. If the coil arm has any resistance and bends it may pull the wire a little. It's inevitable tho. I hope mine isn't starting to act funny. I have no idea why on Sat morning I was getting weird stuff. I think it was location tho. When I was near a signal it was reading the signal. But near an area where there was nothing in the ground, it was giving some random numbers. Sometimes it happened when the detector was put down. There was a fire station close by, maybe the antenna's gave interferance. I know store entrance doors set off radar detectors, quite a bit higher frequency, not sure if those were interferance too. They were diagonal maybe 500 ft away. ...ehhh..
on those finds
