Device can be used as pistol detector i this way:

We cannot determine best frequency in advance because there are not the same frequency spectrum of Earth signals with best magnitude on different locations.
So we need to tune detector to general reception (on different terrain points) of best magnitude (most constant pulsation of LED) at current searching location.
Then we are searching for changing in those pulsation on different location points. Sharp repeatable changing in pulsation by sweeping pistol over certain location point is significant.
As you say, LED pulsation can go from high to low (in case that bigger metalic deposit make shadow between signal source and detector) or opposite (in case that target is resonating on signal frequency or one of its harmonic or in case of reflective sum of signals).
Of course device is still in its early phase and will be further developed on new LRL forum by help of experts like dr. Hung and Mike Mont.
