Ok enough of the secret squirrel buisness! I would love an answer to the OP' can the SDC Run with a larger coil or not? I don't care who has built one' has it been done' Wolfau....?

Zuke_Lynzy said:Maybe not but do you know someone that "has" seen it done...?
Who wants to donate a SDC iv got a box of tools and a shed....?
(Hacksaw, duct tape and old broom)
The broom is to sweep the lot out the door when iv finished...

Just went for a few hours this morning on a property covered in mullock heaps. This particular spot is about 150-200 meters from houses and a busy highway.
However along with the threshold making a wobbling sound it would make a strong false signal every 2-3 seconds weather i would hold the coil up or have it on the ground.
Last week i was just getting the wobbling sound. I was in the middle of nowhere but there was thunder rolling in from over the horrizon.
i guess my question is is this normal to experience emi problems at these distances with the sdc? I have heard of 5000 owners having these sort of issues but i thought the sdc was meant to be better with these sort of situations.
also, is having a strong false signal every 3 seconds normal?
Still managed to find the odd bird shot and slug gun pellet but no gold today.
Reeks said:If it is happening every 2-3 seconds consistently you can bet there is an electric fence within a few hundred metres.
They work by pulsing a high voltage charge every few seconds, i couldn't get away from it at a spot i detected once, changed coils and later realised the fence was causing it.
Ask the property owner to turn it off while you detect.
If it's not a fence it's probably an underground phone line.

I've had some weird EMI problems on some days with my SDC while others I were detecting with machines were fine, vice versa also. I've found sometimes you need to do several noise cancels in a row to get it to find a quiet channel. Sometimes even lay the detector on the ground and doing a noise cancel can help.
