- Move to a different location: EMI can be caused by a variety of sources, such as power lines, electrical equipment, and even cell phones. Moving to a different location can sometimes help to reduce interference.
- Check for sources of interference: Look around for any sources of EMI that may be causing interference with your metal detector. This might include electrical equipment, power lines, or even cell phones.
- Shield the metal detector: You can try wrapping the metal detector in a shield made of aluminum foil or other conductive material. This may help to reduce EMI by blocking the interference from reaching the metal detector.
- Use a ground balance setting: Many metal detectors have a ground balance setting that can be used to help reduce interference caused by mineralized soil.
- Use a lower frequency: Some metal detectors operate at higher frequencies, which can be more sensitive to EMI. Using a metal detector with a lower frequency may help to reduce interference.
- Use a different metal detector: If you are unable to reduce the EMI interference with the steps above, you may need to try using a different metal detector that is less sensitive to EMI.
