[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 588646, member: 4485"] Dig every target is very good practice in theory but if you get back to the original question: To just say dig every target doesn't really answer the question. Got a bit long winded on the why's of magnetic iron stone & iron oxide formation side of it but good knowledge to have on board regardless. :Y: In a nut shell it's what good detectors are designed to do - ignore ground signal & give a response to metal. Unfortunately there are some "hot rock" compositions even the best detectors can't cancel out. I'd more take on board this from Nucopia: I'm more than sure that's got more than a few people over the years & some have even tossed away golden "hot rocks". [/QUOTE]
