Using two F2's near each other?

This can happen with many machines running the same frequency .
If your machines don't have a freq shift adjustment you have a bit of a problem.
Don't assume that just because your fifty feet apart and not chattering , that the interference is gone.
You might stilt have depth loss but not hear the machine chattering.

All the detectors (same type and model) I've been around EVER! will not run side by side. I've learned this, that when two or more people are out detecting together its not a Side by Side hunt.
Two coinstrike's are the worse I've ever seen.
Now I've never known of any problems if the two hunt outside the range of audible interference from each other?
I've hunted with my brothers with different models that you could pretty much rub the two coils together and it not effect one another. But even then when we hunt we like to give each other their own space. Everybody has their own little patch, then when one of us finds something GOOD its a mad dash to share the find with the other

Thanks for the information. I think that this was a huge problem today especially because I was trying to teach him how to use the F2 since it was his first hunt. Some of the places we have planned on going to will be very interesting trying to stay ~75ft apart the whole time. I would certainly prefer if we could at least stay in talking range. Sucks because I was told they would work fine together and that is why we got two
I have read of and also seen silent EMI in the field.
I was hunting with 2 others . One of them using a different machine but almost the same Freq as mine.
I was called over to check a deep target and hit it easily. The other hunter came over and both our machines went wild,
i backed away until our machines went quiet.
He swung his coil over target and could hear nothing.
I shut my machine off then he hit it loud and clear.
