Changing VDI #s

Took my Eurotek pro out for a hunt in one of my best places. While hunting I got an 85 signal on the VDI which would be a dime signal at 6 inches. After scraping away the frozen leaves and checking the spot again the numbers went down to a 60. Trying to figure out why there was a change in the VDI #s
 
The 85# could be in the frozen leaves that was scraped away, so I would check ,GL
 
There could of been a coin in the leaves that you was unaware of that was giving you the 85 reading and when you moved the leaves away there was something under the leaves in the ground giving the 60 vdi. Just a thought.

Looks like we were thinking the same thing Hank, I didn't see your post when I went to make my reply, I am a slow typer, takes me 5 minutes to type a 1 minute reply. lol
 
Haha, Skiwiz you think your slow I'm so slow I'm almost going backwards,lol
 
I did check the leaves and the signal was still at 6 inches but it went from dime to pulltab after i checked it again.
 
Possible Causes:

PC.. A coin at an honest 6" in many ground mineral conditions is really more of a deeper-located coin and not a shallow coin. Deeper targets, especially smaller-size targets, can sometimes 'read' higher, or lower, than their out-of-ground air-test reading.

PC.. As SkiWhiz mentioned, a shallower target might have caused a better response and it was moved away leaving you to only signal on a different target.

PC.. It is possible that when scraping leaves or dirt away from a target, you could errantly scrape an unwanted target into the detection range that would produce a lower-reading signal.


Obvious Questions:

OQ.. Did you actually recover the target?

OQ.. How did you determine it was at 6 inches?

OQ.. If you DID recover the target, and if you the know it was at an honest 6", tell us what the target was?

OQ.. Which search coil was mounted and what settings were you using?


Reminders:

It doesn't matter if you are using a $219 Euro-Tek Pro, a $549 Omega, an $849 Tesoro, a $1799.95 White's or a
