The visual ID is nice when you dont want to waste time digging trash targets
etc, but on the other side of the coin, Dont rely on visual ID all the time,
it will make you lazy and you will miss some good finds. While the ID is
fairly accurate when you get a iffy signal you sometimes tend not to dig it,
and it could wind up being a nice find

Visual ID is great for coins, but not for relics etc
