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

[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 654498, member: 3960"] The GPX6000 is a different animal, angry most of the time. It loves hot-rocks and deep red soil. It doesn't usually ground balance in situations like this so you just have to dig. [ATTACH type="full"]5094[/ATTACH] Well that's until the rock is so solid that you can't dig any more. This was a very convincing signal with almost no reaction from the dirt pile and the signal was still there after I scraped the rock base bare. Then we brought down the jackhammer and generator but it did little more than bounce off the surface and send little chips of rock flying. At that point we weighed up the estimated size of the nugget we were likely to get out against the effort required to get it. I filled the hole in :confused: [/QUOTE]
