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

[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 641249, member: 4728"] I thought I'd start this topic for the benefit of newbies as this seems one of the problems that many face when starting out. I have witnessed some newbies digging huge holes in search of that elusive ill-defined "target" that seem to be forever moving around in the hole. I am reasonably happy with my own ability to identify ground noise but one can always learn if there are better ways. When I am faced with an iffy signal my first reaction is to ground balance just off to one side. If the signal continues after that I always scrape a small bit off the surface and check again for any increase in loudness or definition. If the signal continues on deeper into the dig with still no better definition, I just assume it to be ground noise. Does any one else have any other methods to save themselves some detecting time.
