A piece of iron rusting in the ground for several years will give a different signal then a piece of iron laying on your patio, and will fool a digital detector as well as an analog detector. Metal detector technology has not grown much since the late 90s. A digital detector basically just reads analog signals and trys to put them in a different language for people who cant read/hear the beeps. Kinda like a crutch for the disabled ears. The best detector is your eyes, so a good digging tool is key.

I live in the iron when relic hunting and I am well aware of how it acts.
