“4th grader jacked up on sugar...” Or my wife jacked up on energy drinks....Not sure what 4 bars is lol I look at the screen and keep mine around 23-24. If it starts chattering like a 4th grader who’s jacked up on sugar, I then lower it until it smooths out but rarely will I go below 20.
Fwcrawford is correct multi-frequency is more sensitive to EMI than single frequency.
Also make sure if you have a cell phone to place it on airplane mode or shut it off. This can definitely wreak havoc on your machine.
Try a different hunting area to determine if it could just be EMI that’s causing this.
EQX doesn’t need to be “jacked up” to report coins. Recovery speed is more critical for depth. Around here, something like Sensitivity 16 and Recovery at 4 (on the 800) it’ll find a dime at 7-8” deep without issue with the stock coil.
Keep working with it Steve, just don’t overcrank the settings.
