Something I've been wondering about,...

Basically, falsing is usually experienced as a audio phemomenon by the User. But the V3 has a graphic display screen
(the Search Screen) that gives live feed-back too. Can falsing be VISUAL as well as AUDIBLE ? Have you seen it?

I'm curious in part because I usually hunt in high-trash trash with highly mineralized ground and my screen is often
peppered with thin red reject hits. They could be real but I thought I'd ask about this. Would appreciate feedback.
Currently running my machine at complete stock settings as I've had only a few trips out due to combination of work
(all the time) and snow last month.

TIA,

The short answer to your question is: Yes, falsing can be visual as well as audible.

Remember though that a red rejected hit may be just that...rejected.

I agree. Not knowing the specifics of the V3, but more in general on how machines work. I would guess the visual displays are getting their information from the audio section, probably after the disc circuit. So the detector reads a return signal from the coil and then processes that signal in the discriminator circuit, and then feeds it to the visual circuit. That's how I would think it works. So, if you get a audio false signal, it should go through the other circuits and be displayed in some way. Just how I think it works :confused:

Yeah,

It makes sense. If I ever need to work near a Power Line or Cell-Tower or anything else causing interference
I will make a note of what's being displayed.

Thanks for the replies,

Just wait until you try to pinpoint something under some low hanging powerlines. :twirlingeyes:
