Flaws of the Chaser
by Katzenjammer in USA -
Aug 2019...couple of things, the volume does not work. Nothing happens except that it shows the volume going down the scale but it does not. Another is description says 14 headphone jack. It is actually 18. And the coiled wire to the headphone is not long enough, it pulls constantly to the point that you either have to stay leaned into the machine for headphones not to be pulled off. This just makes you take them off because it is so annoying. Gonna have to buy a dongle for Bluetooth. Everything I hit on is a 45 no matter what it is. I dug one piece of foil out of my yard, then went in and got coins, gold jewelry, and silver bullion. They all hit at 45. Does not make sense.
