How do you tell the difference between ground noise and a true target signal?

[QUOTE="ozziegold, post: 654542, member: 4114"] Hello daveo85. Mate, don't walk away from that one! You have a few options to try out. Try turning your settings down as low as you can. See if you can get a pin-point on the target then. If you can borrow a Pin-pointer, or use another detector, say a GPX 5000, try those. Its signal sounds to me like what a big slug does, with it blanking out (overloading), the detector, you would be mad to leave it. A Mate of mine had a target like that and it took him 2 days to chip it out, it was a 16-oz specie at 18 inches. He had an electric Jack-Hammer too. Dave these opportunities don't come along very often, you will always be wondering!! Good Luck; ozziegold. [/QUOTE]
