Thanks for all the responses. It would appear my theory that I am in fact a cyborg remains unproven.

I figured it was a good detector to try the hobby with. Will definitely upgrade in the future if this out to be as fun as I imagine!

Cheers

Welcome Charlie,

What type of detector do you have? That is the first thing we need to know as there are many types of detectors out there.

I might be able to help you if it is the same as mine, if not I will let you know where to post your question for better help.

Good luck!

Hi,

It's just a basic one I got from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NTZTMBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It seems to pick up coins, nails etc well enough but it also goes off with the thing pointed at my chest! I made sure not to have any metallic items on my person. Does that indicate a possible problem with the detector?

Thanks

Charlie

Hi everyone,

I'm Charlie from London. New to the prospecting game. Hoping to meet some awesome people on this forum!

I was having a little trouble setting up my detector. I've got it lying flat on a table as the setup instructions suggest to do some initial testing. When in pinpoint mode it appears I am able to set it off with parts of my body. I don't have any metallic items on me. Is this normal? Is it possible for a metal detector to be set off by a person or is there something wrong with my detector?

Cheers
