Several members have mentioned that deep targets often result in a value on the ID that is off from the expected value.
1) Is there a bias on which way is the ID off? Does it tend to show a higher ID or lower ID for a deep target? Or is that not consistent?
2) How do you guys interpret a A) good tone, B) appropriate and desired ID, but C) ferrous reading on the horseshoe? For example, you hear a great tone, see a value of 88 (in 12 kHz), but the horseshoe goes half-way down on the left side.
Maybe that leads to another question -- what has been your experience in terms of what you hear and/or see (and with what settings for Iron Volume, etc.) when you have a good target and iron adjacent to each other in the hole? What adjustments do you make to help your target identification?
On those REALLY faint sounds with just a sliver on the horseshoe, does it stay consistently on the non-ferrous side, or have you ever dug a good target that showed up on both sides?
Thanks!
