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

[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 654512, member: 3960"] There's no guarantee that it's gold but from what I could hear you should have been able to pin it down to a very small spot by carefully approaching from all angles, perhaps with the sensitivity reduced and using the coil on edge. That way you only need to dig a very small hole. However if you can't pin it down to a small spot then the target is usually deeper and that makes the job very difficult. A hammer and chisel is much more affective than pounding away with your pick. Safety glasses are essential ;) [/QUOTE]
