[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 304654, member: 8767"] Hi Silver, I was waiting for some advice or input from hopefully a person that has looked at a coil before, for the same reasons. So I have not gone further with it yet. First place is the connector plug, for loose joints, find which wires are which coil and test continuity thru each. Compare that to the good coils, if nothing then I guess strip of some sheath near the coil end maybe or break it open to check the circuit board connections. Intermittent faults are a huge pain, but it sort of indicates a loose connection. Somewhere. The spare new coil was put on but currently I am wondering if the rechargeable batteries are effecting my detector readings - 4x1.2V=4.8v 4x1.5V=6V so it is running a full 1.2V low The rechargeables are lasting very well. The spare coil is working fine, but the responses are different as I pass over targets, the batteries are the possible reason for this, depends what dc volts the circuit needs for full function I suppose.
