what do I do

Caretaker me

my AT Pro went nuts the other day when I was hunting in a field, so I went home and checked my machine, this is what I found, is this under warranty, the machine is 1 1/2 years old.
 
Smudge, been detecting for over 12 years and never used one on any of my 5 machines, never had a problem like this before, I have had a GTI1500 for 10 years now and no problem, next coil, I'll epoxy the bottom
 
I would still like to know why there are no coil windings inside that coil housing.:confused: It might explain why you had trouble getting the coil to work :rofl:
 
PS.
The windings are completely encased in an very tough conductive epoxy resign (for EMI and EST shielding) so even if the outer skid plate epoxy chipped and fell away , the coil would still work.
 
Good luck to you Caretaker.

i swear I've never seen a coil break like that before.

Man, thats weird.
 
That's when your're glad you bought a Garrett. The same thing happend to me in the same spot. I didn't even notice it until later. Garrett took great care of me. Coil covers are too brittle for around here. I'm using a roof sealer called "Flex Seal Liquid Rubber Sealant Coating" on both machines & very happy with it. It stays on, wears well and retains some rubberiness- great for foiling the sneaky rocks around here.
 
I bought a used AT with a very small crack in the coil that was operator error from the previous owner. I called Garrett when I bought the machine and told them what happened. I sent in the old coil and had a new one in hand in less then a week. GREAT customer service.
