I was hunting on a golf course today and for some reason, in certain spots, the detector would beep on a sweep and then immediately beep about 10 times in rapid succession. This seemed to happen towards the end of my hunt and seemed to occur randomly, but frequently when sweeping over a target. What does this mean?

It means that you didn't back fill your holes!
Might need your bucket of sand next time.

I dont have a F2, I have the F4 but I have seen this happen also. I would think the F2 and F4 will act similarly, but this might not be the case. Usually I just turn down the sensitivity in that area.
It could also mean you are in a trashy area with multiple targets. One thing I do if I think there are several in one area is to lift the coil off the ground a few inches to try and separate the targets or I just toss the 4" coil on.
The F4 is also susceptible to electronic interference, it is possible you were near power lines (over or under) or a cell tower etc. Mine also starts to act up when the battery gets low.
The F4 will also jump around if the target is trash, but usually not all that much.
