jbow said:I think I am getting the idea. The phase angle is translated into a VDI number which is basically the VDI number of the ground. The phase numbers for the three frequencies are displayed when I zoom on ground tracking, zero and lower the coil. This tells me what is being cancelled, by the ground balance... right??
jbow said:This begs the question. If my phase angle is translated to a VDI numbe of 84 will the V3 cancel out quarters? Or, am I misunderstanding.
jbow said:If I am getting this right... what do I do with this info? Other than note it to compare with other sites?
jbow said:Oh... sorry, I got off topic. Am I getting the idea of the phase and phase angle? I think that, if I am getting it right, the signal strength is an indicator of the mineralization of the ground and the phase just tells me where the ground cancel is cancelling... with both the angle number and a "normalized" VDI number.
I wonder, if the phase angel normalized VDI number falls somewhere close to targets I am hunting... would it be a good idea to hunt in one frequency, the one most likely to hit whatever it is in question and uncheck the "normalize"?? I see that normalize really doesn't change much in 7.5 but expands the high range in 2.5 and expands the low range in 22.5, which should help tell the difference between pulltabs and gold rings when using 22.5 and should help tell a difference between aluminum and coins in 2.5...
Thoughts? Even if the phase normalized falls near 84, running 2.5 un-normalized should be a good thing... if in fact I am understanding this... which is unlikely actually... laff.
