I think this because I went out hunting today and I couldn't get a solid signal at more than 4 inches to save my life!!!!! 4 inches and less it works fine, but beyond that it jumps around like crazy. I tried it with the sensitivity all the way up and medium and and on 1 bar, it all the same result, signal jumping around erratically. I looked at the bottom of my coil and it has cracks all over the place, even in the inner part of the coil. I have no idea how they got there. I am always careful not to bang it too hard and I have never stepped on it neither has anybody else. The only thing that I could think of is I keep my Ace 250 in the trunk of my car, and it gets super hot during the day, maybe that cracked my coil. I am at a loss for words. It looks like I have to start using the standard coil that came with it. What really gets me is I only started to use this machine back in March of this year.
Also starting like 2 weeks ago, all of my wheat cents have been regestering as dimes...
Lesson to all, buy the coil covers and use them & don't store your metal detector in you trunk of your car...
