Hi All -
I've noticed that when I'm swinging the coil of my ATPro over the ground, if I happen to bump it on something mid-swing, it will sometimes make a high tone.
It's not usually a problem on a nice flat lawn, but in the woods with lots of fallen branches, roots and rocks on the ground (this is also why I use a coil cover) it happens pretty often.
This fooled me quite a bit at first, but now I've just learned to ignore it. I wonder if the sudden stop when the coil was in motion somehow "fools" the detector?
I'm curious if this is "normal" behavior - does this happen to anyone else? The detector seems to work fine otherwise.
Thanks!
