Ferret finder mk1 problem

[wabbit slayer 16]

Was out ferreting at the weekend but when the time came to use my ferret finder I found that if I turned it any higher that 6 or 7 it would make a lound noise and would not locate my ferret. Tested it today and it worked fine Could it be anything to do with the type of land that I was ferreting on ie the burrows ran along an old track that was made of slag from the pit and lumps of stone.

was u using it near electric fence

No electric fence, overhead power lines are in some places but not all.

[PETEWINN 5]

Normal if you are near any metal or within 50 yards of a power line.

If it turns out to be a problem with the box, there was an ad in The Countrymans Weekly, for repairing the MK1 boxes etc.

Probably something on the land though.
