Landstar falsing in grass

[HeavyIron]

I am considering buying a Landsta, but I read 2 reviews that complained of falsing when the coil was brushed against grass or weeds. Has anyone had this happen with their Landstar when brushing it across the top of mildly overgrown grass or weeds? If this machine is inclined to do this, then is it possible to eliminate or minimize somehow other than keeping the coil from touching the grass? I want to be able to just brush the top of the grass while swinging if the grass is slightly overgrown. I have seen videos of other detectors brushing the top of the grass while swinging it back and forth without any falsing. So is it just the Landstar that might have this problem, or were their units just defective or not set right? Thanks for any feedback.

i have a l/s and find that falsing comes from swining to fast and not from touching grass also falses when bumping brush causing sudden stops iv had mine for a year now and still learing its not as simple as my tracker iv i havent found silver with it yet but plenty of clad last week on sledding hill p/u 6 dimes all at 6 to8 inches solid hits hope this helps h/h scotrod

I have a Landstar, and do not have this problem.
It must be their particular unit.

I've found the Landstar to be very good on ID'ing silver.
When you hit a high tone, and the bar points to the extreme left, and it's a tight target (i.e., not a wide one like a crushed can), repeatable 4 ways; then it has a high probability that it's silver (coin or ring).
