Chase Goldman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I noticed bump sensitivity on the Equinox when GB was adjusted to high numbers. During a relic hunt last spring, I started noticing bump sensitivity in a cornfield when bumping against corn stubble. Thought I had a coil connection or coil issue as I could get noise simply by shaking the coil in the air. Switched modes and noticed it didn't happen in the other modes (I think I was running Field 2 at the time). Reset the machine switched to Field 2 again and no issues until I auto ground balanced again to a high number (>50) and the bump sensitivity returned. I increased the GB setting on Park 2 from the default 0 to a similarly high number and got the same bump sensitivity in that mode, so I determined the hot soil GB setting was the culprit and continued on detecting. FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevIza Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 This happened to this newbie with EQ 800 when I had a loose wind on the cord and did not tighten the collar locks. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bump the coil she falses, consistently at that. When I have it right on the ground I have to be careful not to tap any rocks or bump the coil on the ground otherwise she falses. Is this normal or could I have an issue with my coil? And for the Rattlesnakes, this big ol brute just about slithered over my feet tonight when I was loading the Nox back into the Jeep! Thanks everyone 🙂 I was just out at the river today, and this was happening with my 6 inch coil. It's would false on everything. It was even giving signals if I stopped, and pumped the coil like when you ground balance. It was especially pronounced in the water. I've had this detector 2 1/2 years or more, and it has never done this to this extent 🤷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJMG1986 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Update: I did a little testing, and found that when I hook up the 6in coil, it will signal if it bumps anything. If I shake the coil side to side, or up and down, it signals. I hooked up the default 11 in coil, and nothing. This leads me to believe that there must be some kind of malfunction with the 6in coil.
