Went to Datona beach today again with the Nox800, Set it on Beach 2 and went into the serf, had a lot of fake numbers and sound, I ground balanced it, stil had the same thing lowered sensitivity still the same, I use this on the west coast of florida all the time with no problem, now when I got home I removed the coil cover and noticed sand there , not a lot but could this have been my problem? Datona doesn't have a lot of black sand , maybe you can say a lot of red sand, could this be the problem? Didn't change anything in beach setting. Anybody have any idea. I use the White beachhunter there and no problem, it wasn't mine but it's pretty good. But too heavy.
PS I did change the threshold up and down didn't help, don't know if that has anything to do with it, what should I do if anything?
 
Don't have that problem south of Daytona on the beach unless sensitivity too high (sounds like you dropped it down) EMI from either your cell phone in your front pocket (back pocket seems fine) or WIFI from beach front businesses and resorts. If it is WIFI only cure is to move away if you can. You did not mention if you also noise cancelled but that helps too. Maybe some Daytona hunters like Col Dan will know the answer for certain.

I turned on my NOX too close to a beach club and sounds exactly like your description, so bad I thought the machine had gone nuts. Walk 100 feet and problem solved, re ground balanced and noise cancelled and good to go. Other machines affected the same way, all I can come up with was the beach club WIFI so sunbathers can use their smart phones and iPads.

Let us know what you find out.
 
Obviously someone who routinely hunts the area will know more about the EMI than me. But generally lowering your sensitivity to say 18, running a bit more RS 5, reducing your iron volume to 2 which eliminates some of the mind numbing chatter, and running 50 tones will help. I assume you tried running 0 GB and noise canceled and are hunting in AM? You also dont need to run a threshold....... its not a true threshold like most machine in the beach mode. So .... it just additional noise you can eliminate. Hunting in the surf can make it chatty too..... coil control and salt water which causes air gaps in the sand can cause falsing.
 
And your cell phone can cause problems I beach hunt a lot and never had a problem I run beach 1 or 2 always have my phone off run 0 GB just noise cancel and I also use all metal mode.
The only time I had a problem with chatter was when I forgot to set my machine to one of the beach settings and it was going nuts!
