What does this mean?

What is the blue squiggly line telling me?

Well...you're in the beach mode and the lowest frequency is giving the best response. Probably a crusty DIME.

You probably have some external electrical noise source that is affecting your high frequency the most, the middle frequency is affected too, but not as much. Smooth out the lines in your mind and you can use the data to determine your target. It's affecting not only the bell curve, but the no target area as well, so it's not target related.

AK,
This picture is from Whites website, could it be that the interference was because the reading was taken indoors?

 

[ak_1234]

Yes

Actually, I should clarify this. I don't know if it will look this way in every indoor area. But for here, yes.

I have had this happen a few times. It turned out to be junk for me.

my penny at 10" buried in the yard comes up with squiggly lines each and every time

I've been noticing that the lines can come in flat, squiggly and humped with a long tail for good targets. Depth, EMI and iron in the soil seem to be the things that skew it. Stays consistent to conditions so with the other info pointing to a dig, I've been digging and finding stuff. Most of the time it seems to be textbook though.

n/t

I determined that I cannot go by that on deeper targets. It seems that if it's over 3 or 4 inches deep then i can't depend on the graph. Just keep on digging.

you may have more than one target close by or under the pinpointed target
