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

[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 652992, member: 4485"] Charcoal is made up of carbon & carbon is a conductor (although a poor conductor) so that is what causes it. I've always assumed it's only the charcoal that is of a very high carbon content that reacts due to a lot of charcoal I've passed over not giving any signal at all. More ash & other residues rather than high carbon charcoal left behind. I don't think carbon degrades? Lower oxygen fires apparently leave a charcoal that is higher in carbon too so the type & intensity of the fire may also make a difference to the reaction. [/QUOTE]
