Why does the Target ID Cursor bounce on my Garrett Metal Detector?

  Sally MosesAug 13, 2025
  If your Garrett Metal Detector's Target ID Cursor bounces erratically, it's likely you've found an iron target. However, this can also occur if a good target (like a coin) isn't parallel to the searchcoil or if there are multiple junk targets nearby. Try scanning from different directions until the Target ID Cursor stabilizes. Note that large, flat pieces of iron can sometimes be misread depending on their orientation. Use the Iron Audio feature to help identify iron targets.

  If you are not finding specific targets with your Garrett Metal Detector, ensure you are using the correct mode for the type of hunting you are doing. If hunting for coins, the COINS mode is best to eliminate undesirable targets. Alternatively, use the ZERO mode to detect all metal targets.

Why is my Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector making erratic sounds?
- T
  Tom CummingsAug 25, 2025
  Erratic sounds or target ID cursor movement in your Garrett Metal Detector can be caused by a few things. First, ensure your searchcoil is securely connected and the coil cable is snugly wound around the stem. If you're using it indoors, be aware of electrical interference and metal in floors and walls. Also, check if you're near other metal detectors, power lines, or metal structures. You can also try adjusting the frequency or reducing the sensitivity setting.

  David HermanSep 4, 2025
  If your Garrett Metal Detector shows intermittent signals, especially with multiple targets, switch to the ZERO Mode or press the pinpoint button to precisely locate all targets. Also, iron targets may cause intermittent signals; use the ZERO Mode or the Iron Audio feature to identify them.
