When I first started this park yesterday, my detector was going nuts. Jumping all over the place, even with the coil in the air. I changed batteries, no luck. I saw some power boxes on the ground. I moved away (50'). It helped, but still a little goofy. I went to custom mode, 4 notches on the silver end and it stopped. Do you think it was power lines under the ground? Let me know. I had read about overhead power lines causing problems.

If you think it was electrical interference then reduce the sensitivity all the way down. If the issue is solved then bump the sens up a notch at a time until it acts up then reduce it one notch. Also a sniper will pick up a little less interference so you might have to put one on. Otherwise you may have to hunt elsewhere.

I have a park like that. 30' wide and down the center of the park. The kid's play ground is right over top of it. I wonder if that is healthy for the kids.
Couldn't be any worse than sitting in a house that
is nearly totally enclosed in electrical wiring.. :/
The overhead lines are usually very high voltage, and
those lines are known more for possible problems. Any
wiring under ground is probably fairly low voltage, and
probably not a problem. Then you have the ground itself,
shielded those wires to an extent..
