On a handful of occasions i have seen either the tone say dig and the meter say no or vise verse.
Last winter i hit a target and the tone was choppy but the meter was good,
A hunting bud with a tone only machine said no dig, i tried but it was frozen in.
A week later went back with small coil , same thing , i pried the dirt/ice and pulled a Indian Head.
The F 75 TID and tone run independent of each other , Usually thy mach up but not always.
 
In fact it says audio Id is deeper than Meter ID and is a seperate way of deciding on targets......... Something we should all remember when using the 75 series.
 
I should say this is more about the meter having the better read than the audio.
In the example above the Indian was around 5 or 6 inches deep with lots of iron
I could not dig the iron as it was still frozen.
Yes its only happened a few times . Strange but it was good to have a audio only machine
with me giving the no dig sign. and let the meter take over .:poke:
 
If I get a solid tone and a scattered or no visual ID, I will pull the first 2-4" of dirt off the top. If it goes away or breaks up, I fill the hole and keep moving. Usually it will get louder and visual ID will get closer or lock on. I like these type of targets because the depth of the object is just beyond visual and this usually means something good - deep coins, small brass, lead, etc at 10" or greater.

Audio first.
 
The one that gets me is a beep. No pin point and no meter reading, just an occasional beep on my F 70. It turns out to be cinders. Most of the time it is that faint deep signal we all covet . The cinder tone is a very rounded tone, never sharp or crisp.
