Pulsating Excalibur

[bdahunter]

I am a water hunter with an Excal 1000 and it always serves me well in the waters around my home in Bermuda. Once in a while I will pick up a very faint pulsing tone in the background of the threshold while I am water hunting. I have always put this down to radio interference.
I went water detecting this morning and no problems but this afternoon a buddy asked me to go over to his house and locate the surveyors stakes that are now buried on his property. I said no problem and headed over with my trusty Excal but when I got there and set the threshold there was a really loud triple pulse. I still managed to find the stakes but it was a real trial.
I think it was the hydro lines on the property but this is the first time I have encountered this phenomena (not a lot of power lines in the surf around here).
Can anybody comment on my Excal's pulsing.

Thanks,

BDA

Hi Bda, I've only experienced that once when hunting at a persons
house for a lost diamond earring with 2 professional hunters who
where using Aquapulse machines. I was under some wires,and using
either my CZ20 or Tesoro Stingray,and when they turned on one of
their machines in another part of the yard,the pulsing was so
strong in my headphones I had to tell them to turn it off,if I
was going to have any chance of finding the earring.I couldn't
believe that the signal could carry that far and that strong,but
it did.Haven't had that experience any other occasion since.
Good luck with it and HH Joe

The Sov and Excalibur are both very susceptible to 60hz electrical interference here in the States. Don't know what frequency they use in your area but if it's 60hz then I suspect that is where your interference was coming from. I can't even turn on a Sov or Excal here in the house without them going nuts. The new Sov GT has a Frequency switch and that does allow me to run it without interference in areas where there are power lines. JMHO
