XS Crosshairs question:

[Anonymous]

Went detecting today and found the usual pennies at 1"-4" deep. <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="">
I noticed that with all of the iron targets in the ground that the crosshairs stayed in the upper left hand corner regardless of the tone on many occasions. However, I noticed that sometimes, when I occasionally looked down at the screen, the crosshair would be in the upper right (coin) corner, but no audible tone had occurred to match the crosshair reading. It was almost like the machine read a signal which indicated by the crosshair, but was maybe too deep to generate a tone. Could this be possible?
When I noticed this occurring, I would go back and scan and try to get an audible which caused the crosshair change, but never could find it.
Also, when getting "good" audible tones, I noticed that the crosshair would stay in the iron range, but if I swept the coil over the target again,then lifted it up immediately so that it wouldn't get a signal from another target, the crosshair would go to the correct area.
Lastly, I hunt in ferrous sounds, but when I switched to the factory presets by holding the power button down, I found that when I later returned to my typical hunting mode the detector stayed in "conductive" sounds, auto sens., etc..

Switching to factory presets will change all your settings unless you saved them to user A or B setting, even then after resetting to presets you would need to reload the saved setting, or go through the pain of redoing everything one by one,, make sure you save your prefered settings to one of those user patterns.. the cross hairs need the threshold to return before it will give a correct reading.. in high iron it does require you to lift the coil sometimes.. better off just going by audio in those situations

Thanks for the help. Still trudging along, but I'll get it. <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="">
