There’s a few tricks you can use to weed out most falsing iron. One is pinpoint location. If the target pinpoints a little off to the side of where you heard the tone, likely iron.
Target Trace can give you some clues too. If you see light streaks coming up from the bottom right hand side or just a bunch of random spatters as you sweep the target, likely falsing iron. A good target will usually start to build a solid dot in the open part of your pattern. Target Trace pinpoint is really useful for seeing this. Of course if it’s a good target near iron or other junk you might see a smear instead of a dot. Some really deep targets don’t show much on Target Trace.
You can sometimes tell the difference in tone too. A lot of times falsing iron tones will be hit or miss. Not as solid and not as consistent with every swing.
Running manual sensitivity a little too high can increase falsing too. Might need to back it down a notch.
None of these methods are 100% perfect. As you get more time in using the machine you’ll start to key in on the differences, but even then sometimes iron targets (especially round iron) will sound amazing and will pass all of the tests above. You just gotta dig those. I’ve been using the CTX and Etrac for years now and I still get fooled occasionally.
