[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 647024, member: 4386"] I doubt that any fairly constant EM signal would affect detecting, You are measuring distortion in the field present, no matter what it is caused by. If that field is fairly constant it should not affect your signal at your anomaly point. Even if it were intermittent, you should know that something does not make sense, because your response where you are detecting would be intermittent (that anomaly from your glorious nugget would be on and off and the time spacing would probably be fairly large - perhaps that of a blade rotation). Given that EMI falls off exponentially, I also doubt that it would have much signal compared with your detector response. But I am not a physicist. And I have not been detecting close to any wind farms - not a large percentage of most goldfields, even in Victoria (only once been near one when detecting - south of Ararat). I suspect that detecting very close to power-lines, or coal-fired or gas power stations might be as much of a theoretical problem - but I suspect if you were detecting near the latter you should learn some gold geology. 🤔🤔 [/QUOTE]
