[QUOTE="hAyyoUinAU, post: 433792, member: 10637"] When this happens, what does the target end up being? Or is there no locatable target? I have found this, and sometimes it is one of two things. 1. A target at depth with a lot of ferrous junk around it (as others said, also highly mineralised ground). Also pin pointing can be hard as it doesn't discriminate, so near a lot of junk it just goes crazy. 2. A big piece of ferrous metal that is deep, or a few closely together. My main thing with the NOX is if the signal repeats, dig it, if it doesn't, I check for iron, increase sensitivity and check at all angles. Sometimes a coin can be upright at depth amongst ferrous items and it will have these exact same symptoms as you described. And the signal is only picked up at just one particular angle and height. Always worth investigating, but that is the beauty of our hobby. The mystery. Good luck [/QUOTE]
