Hi,
I'm new here and I came here to find out if anybody is familiar with this scenario. I bought an Apex last year and I live in an area of New Mexico that is filled with iron, actually found a old 1940's iron which gave me a 92 reading. My concern is my machine does a lot of false readings. I've tried different settings, channels, frequencies, as it is really noisy while showing constant high readings in the range of 84-98, only to find nothing there. As well as additional iron tones on top of the readings. Everywhere I walk it's beeps high numbers, also seems to jump around fast in number display in a fanatic highs and lows. I've done a factory reset, which didn't help. I was reading about how some of models had faulty coil connections which would cause false such readings while swinging and it was a problem with the first 100 produced. I don't know if mine was one on those. Who knows, any advice would be helpful and thanks.
