Falsing When Your Coil Contacts Ground? Try This!

[Neil in West Jersey]

I run with my settings fairly high...Usually something like RX =12, AM =74, Disc=92. When I came in contact with the ground I would often get a high beep with no threshold change. I knew it was a false signal but I would still slow down to investigate.

I found that rejecting +95 stopped the falsing when running at high sensitivity.

Just thought I would share this.

Yep, that's well known. When The V is can't ID a target it assigns it to +95. That and accepting all numbers and assigning zero tones for unwanted targets are the first things to set up.

Assigning zero tones for unwanted targets is something I have not done. So you accept ALL targets and just give all negative numbers zero tones?

Neil I reject +95 and +94 and reject all unwanted VDI and go with zero on the unwanted VDI.

Accept all VDI and assign zero tones to any VDI you don't want. It doesn't have to be negative numbers. For example +95.

Although I do assign 0 tone to all negative numbers, there might be times when I want to listen a little into the ferrous range. I like to assign 5 Hz to +1 to +15 just to let me know when I'm in foil in case I'm in the mood to dig for small gold. (not often), +16 to +94 standard tone ID and +95 rejected is the pattern I use.
