[QUOTE="Bush, post: 588596, member: 6815"] Question to PA. Members & Guests. When using a magnet over a target to help to facilitate and decipher the material to extract. Why or How does a Metal Detector register the difference between iron ore stone and small pieces of steel when the iron stone also sticks to the magnet. In other words why does the detector ignore the iron stone yet signals smaller pieces of man made iron / steel amongst it when their both of the same or similar composition. ``I`m finding this difficult to phantom. :( [/QUOTE]
