Single frequency mystery

I was out hunting this morning using single frequency. I was using 7.5KHz as many users report good depth at this frequency.

I got a a good solid hit with a VDI of 75 at about 4 inches deep. Because in the past I've dug a number of bottle caps I thought were quarters when hunting in single frequency, I decided to check this dime using three frequencies. To my astonishment, the signal changed. The VDI now read 47!! I changed back to single frequency and the VDI returned to 75.

Upon further examination, I realized that in three frequency mode, the Spectragraph was showing the 7.5KHz frequency at a VDI of 75 while the other two frequencies landed elsewhere.

So how does the machine come up with the 47 VDI in three frequency? I was using Best Data.

The rest was: Stock C&J. RX=10, AM=75, DISC=92. 10.5KHz band filter. All VDI's accepted

As it turns out, I never did find out what the target was because my propointer quit working and that distracted me from the signal. But I will investigate this further.
 
Check single frequency (ies) if normalization was off. The VDI in any single freq with normalization off will read unlike what you are used to due to the change in target resolution as represented by the VDI's.
Too bad you didn't recover the target.
 
You didn't ID the target and didn't see where the other 2 frequencies registered.
