Hot Rocks :(

[Pepper2004]

My MXT is giving me the occasional hot rock reading. I notice it will do it if iron is in the ground but sometimes it does it with no iron around. Could someone tell me why I get this reading. I'm usually hunting in coin, jewelry mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Why? Because there IS iron mineralization in the ground. Some peoplethink because they can't see iron fragmentsthen there must be something wrong. You will probably want to invest in a 6x10 DD or 4x6DD
coil. It handles the mineralization quite well. I'm about to invest in one real soon. I use the 5.3 coil which is really good, but I still get that HOT ROCK reading when theres too much iron content in the ground.
Theres nothing wrong with your MXT!

I'm sending you a private message.

By the way, turn down the sensitivity on the MXT. This should also help.
I just dropped you an e-mail.
