Question for experienced Etrac users

[monkeys uncle]

New user here with a question. Why does (what causes) this machine seemingly hold or 'hang onto' Fe Co values for an extended period of time? I've noticed mine posting a set of values and remain unchanged even after moving the coil to one side or another while it sounds another audio tone for an adjacent or nearby target. It just seems like the values remain fixated on a previous target.

Let me try explaining it better...a set of Fe/Co values for a previous target do not change when a 'new' better target tone/audio is emitted...even after a number of passes.

As an example, I've dug coins given a high audio tone when the values say something less from a nearby or previous target? How does one "reset" and start over, so to speak?

The E-Trac has a display timeout in Preferences menu. If turned off the target Fe-Co values remain until another target is detected. If turned on the display is cleared a few seconds later.

I too experienced this.
I now "click" to quick mask, which I keep open, then directly return to my preferred hunt mode screen. All is well then.
The delay disappears.

This is correct.
