Trying to resolve an issue that cropped up a 3 hunts ago. I have spend some time trouble shooting and can't seem to figure the cause. I was hunting in discriminate with a basic beach screen and 12-38 was rejected in a 3x3. My first issue was a 35-46 with a nice high tone coming in. I had first thought I had an open screen and switched it back. The next target was a the same 35-46 and this time I took a better look I was now in the open screen. I switched back to discriminate and still had a tone with a 35-46 confused by this I turn the detector off and back on,. This had no affect on the issue.
I continued to hunt and was finding targets other than the 35-46 which is a 5p nail! all of a sudden it dawned on me to just discriminate the 35-46 out. The very next time I did just that, when I hit the reject/accept button the greyed area turn white well that's the proof that it was rejected and now accepted. I re hit the button and back it went to grey and so did the tone response! Now I had the same red triangle but no tone. Now the questions. Why was I getting a good reading on a every nail with a red triangle in discriminate? Should I have a concern here? I do know that a bad target will bleed through if it has rusted enough.But this tends to be a chirp broken signal. Also now is this just a temporary fix that I just rejected it? And while I am asking whats the eases way to get rid of a rejected target? Do I have to put the same corroded penny back on the ground? I know I can go in the edit and do it by moving the cursor to the spot but that seems so time consuming. Thanks for the help.
