Took the GTI1500 out today ..its been a while

i was over the mother load....Belltones.then it bounced all over
Showed sizes b thru e

Moved to another spot and set it down to dig ( i attached by headphones)
and it still bounced around.. Did a reset DITTO

Came home changed batteries and took it out back

and lower stem and cable

Do an air test and check the coil for cracks. If that does OK then I would say the machine is OK. If not then call Garrett.

Give Garrett a call...could be a lot of things but to me seems like it may be a bad coil....know anyone with another coil as changing coils could tell you a lot..

Did you have a coil cover on that was pulled off when you cleaned it? Did you have a mobile phone on you that was switched on? It may have caused interference. How good were the battery contacts? A bad connection there can cause all sorts of grief.
