I bought a used Sovereign with the Coinsearch 8 " coil. Went out a few times, seems to work OK.
Then I just did a air test by putting a silver dime on the floor, then run the detector over it VERY, VERY slowly...and I get two tone blips...one on each side of the dime, and silence in between...the blips are about 1/2" apart. When the dector is directly over the dime, there's silence! On all metal, there's only one blip (gets louder as you get closer to the dime).
Is this NORMAL???!!!! or is there something wrong?
If I sweep at normal speed, it's OK because the two blips meld into one .
