Metal detector problem

[Albert Baumgarten]

Hi. I have a problem with my claas jaguar 682s. The metal detector randomly activates for no reason. Does somebody know how to fix it?

Sure to find someone on here who will know. This is where all the detectorists hang out.

Diverting the topic a bit but I've always wondered why manual metal detection is done with a small coil sweeping a small arc instead of a wide scanning boom as on a forager, anyone?

It's not about a simple metal detector. I have a problem with a choppers detector.

I think you need to add to the title to get more response!!! Why do you say it randomly activates? Does it do it with nothing in the reel?

Check for fence wire or electric fence wire down the sides of the roller, you may have to strip,the roller out and remove the magnet , have seen the magnet mounts break around the retaining bolts and cause the magnet to vibrate which can cause them to trip.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check that out

I've just taken my metal detector out of it's bottom roller to send off to get it serviced. It seems that they can get over sensitive. Another problem can be caused if bits/filings of bearings get inside the roller.

Yeah, the penny did drop after I'd posted!
