Please don't laugh Bricks why do they send my MD Screaming?

Hello People,

OK..I know that it's a silly question but I really don't understand why BRICKS make my detector go crazy...I have a few large 24x12 Bricks in my backyard and when I swung the MD close to it.. it went crazy.
Is it mineralization? or what could it be?
I know nothing of the construction of bricks, but it just struck me as odd..
If someone( and I'm sure there Will be) could explain it to me, I'd feel a tad less moronic

thanks in advance.
Scott

Reinforced with re-bar perhaps?

hmm, Maybe, but I don't see any sign of it. they are maybe 2 1/2 inches thick..
That could be, I was just dumbfounded when my wife asked why it was going off.. I said maybe there is metal of some sorts in the brick making process... Has me stumped..
thanks for the reply

Iron Oxide is in the sand used in making red bricks. If you were in all metal mode this could make your detector sound off. Try turning your discrimination up and it should quiet down.
