Could be Kryptonite! Do you feel weak when you're around it?

 

[killerclown]

Lol no...but I feel a bit pissed off I keep pulling up rocks

Stop pulling up rocks, they'll never get a change to grow

Those hot rocks suck. I find the along the rivers and rr tracks. I can usually tell if they read high ie $1 or half dollar. If there is alot of them, you could try to discrim out the bigger coinage.

I've heard the term "Hot Rocks," what exactly are they?

 

[Jay In NewKen]

Simply put, a rock with higher iron-mineralization than the surrounding soil. There are cold rocks as well which can fall into the pulltab/nickle range

 

[scotty544]

Wow! glad I don't have any of them around here really. Nails and pull tabs are bad enough

manual ground balance can eliminate a lot of hot rocks but I don't think the Ace has that option.

Yea it doesn't, any suggestions to try to work thru it?

I've tried manual GB on the At pro to avoid the hot rocks, but realized there's a risk in missing good targets. Depends on how concentrated these rocks are in a given area.

killerclown, there's really not much you can do except maybe discrim out $1 and half dollar if that's where they're reading.
