Blocked Field Goal Beyond the LOS

What happens when a field goal is blocked beyond the line of scrimmage? It's my understanding this is a free ball. If the kicking team recovers and the yardage advanced is sufficient for a first down, it's first down.

Is this right?

If so, is there a signal given by the referrees alerting the players whether the ball "is free" or not?
