CoinMaster HELP PLEASE!!!

Recovering Relics

New member
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Whites CoinMaster.

I took it out this morning, and it was working fine. It did get very muddy. Then when I got home, I dissembled it, and cleaned it. When it was all clean, I put it back together. I then took it down to the beach for a quick hunt at night, and I didn't get any solid signals. There was a pull-tab right on top of the ground, so I swung the coil over it, and I looked at the screen. It registered as a pull-tab, but when I looked at the depth meter, it said it was 8 inches deep. When I came home, I did some tests with coins and the same thing happened, the depth meter said it was 8 inches deep when it was right on top of the ground.

I don't think it has anything to do with the mud or from me cleaning it. I think it has something to do with the wire running up the shaft from the coil. Everything seems to be fine except for the depth meter.

Any help would be great. Please tell me what you think is wrong with my detector. I can't live without it!!! Thanks.
 
Do you have a coil cover on the coil and if so did you take it off and dry it?
 
It sounds like a question for White's Service:

Do you have another coil to test on it?
 
Thanks, I'll contact Whites if I can't figure out whats wrong. I don't have another coil I can test with.
 
Hope you're back up and running soon RR . . .really like your videos. Good luck . . .
 
Did you get any help from Whites? Besides, "send it in."?

It would help if we knew what model coinmaster it is, but if it has a search coil connector at the box then I would be very careful to clean out the pins / sockets with compressed air and leave it disassembled until it has a chance to dry completely, by now it should've dried but there might be contaminants inside those little pin sockets, so I'd use the tip of a new pipe cleaner and CAREFULLY swab out those little holes, then the pins too. If you have any contact cleaner for radio/TV tuners you can shoot a little inside the sockets to help loosen up any grime. Detectors spend quite a bit of their time sitting on the dirt and it's not too unusual for contaminants to find their way into the connectors. Hope this helps you, because the coil end of the cable needs to be air and water tight, if it's not...bye bye coil. 73 and good luck.
 
Fixed the problem and it lasted for a while, but I'm having the same problem again. Still works fine just the depth meter is off. I'll fix it again, I just need to leave it alone for a day or too, then try again. Thanks.
