New Se Pro

[jgraves0000]

Hello, I just put my new Se Pro together and took it for a swing. I am new to MD and just have a couple of dumb questions. I was on the beach with it and noticed that it will "beep" as I'm swinging if the coil bangs into a mound of sand, so I then just kinda shook the machine a little and noticed it makes noise when I do that as well. I understand that its not meant to be shaken, but didn't know if this is normal? I did manage to find my first lid to a soup can, and one bottle cap. I'm just using factory settings. Thanks for any help.

I believe sometimes this is due to a defective coil. I read Minelab has replaced coils when this was happening. Make sure all connections are tight and try again.

I had an Explorer II which I just sold and now I have a SE Pro, but snow on ground so have not used yet to see if I have that problem. The Explorer did the same thing however as beeping when hit something solid. It was bothersome, but learned to deal with it.

Maybe calling Minelab as well will help.

Hopefully somebody else can let you know more.

You can cut down on a lot of that by learning to push your coil around rather than swing it... kind of like painting. Also... learn to NOT raise your coil at the end of your swing that causes falsing with most machines. Ive never gotten noise by shaking sand or dirt of the coil especially with factory settings. Try reconnecting the TOP connector that goes into the box. Sometimes that causes falsing.
