Strange "Phenomenon"

[ivconic]

Hi .
Before 5 days i went to detect old buried objects with my LRL. Basically i wanted to find a object who will give me a strong signal so to have it as reference when i make every modification on my LRLs. But no one signal.
After it i went to a farm where there are a lot of old broken buried ceramics.I believed on this "archaiology" place to find a good signal. I found another problem. A lot of signals but not so strong. I received at least 30 different signals, but when my LRL beep 3...4 times then i must waited 0.5 ... 1 minute so to receive the signal again. The time was 21:00 and temperature 23o celsius. So i want your opinion ... was the small signal from the alone small objects deep in the ground or the signal was from ceramics, because more of the old ceramics have iron oxides who metal detectors detect them.

Are you sure those were signals at all?
Or just random beeps caused by instabillity and various inteferences and most probably constant small changes in static field arround you...
Exactly on that i was pointed many times in the past; with those devices man simply can not be sure about any "detection". Random beeps all arround. How to be sure? How to be accurate? Are there any real detections occurs at all?

What exactly is your LRL supposed to detect in the first place? Ions, precious metals, any metals....what?

Hi,
many things are possible same time.

If device is not stable can run on instability like cycles of also several minutes and thus gives you the appearance it's detecting something.... where it isn't really, and it's just kinda of sinusoidal drift... tunes and detunes its own.

If device detects "something" like could be some signal from e.g. targets (but which signal I don't know) then the presence of ceramics could be a problem, we know sensitive MDs detect ceramics (fired and not in some cases) very well... me , myself own device that detects bricks like cigarette packet in size at about 50cm range.... that's huge detection for something not conductive!

Maybe the ceramics interfere and give extra signals (but which signals ?) ?

Or the farm land is full e.g. of foil pieces and other trash (usually farm land is not so clean today... people e.g. bring their meal around... make picnics and the like... then something always go into soil... mix with it... oxidate etc etc)
Think at e.g. how many times you lose screws... bolts... farm machines pieces.... how many horseshoes... how many piece of rusty fence wires etc etc big "universe" many times... Clean farm land do not exist anymore to my experience.

Then could be other stuff... like plants interfere with detection ... e.g. some small bush, or sharp tipped plants... these can do wrong on MDs and thus you can make assumptions them could give you lot of false signals even of LRL thing (if we suppose it works).

What else ? Local change in electrical field gradient ? Local hot-rocks and other magnetic stuff ? Power lines ? Pipes underground ?

And many others...

So, as you can see there are too many variables...

I suggest you stabilize device as best as you can before make other attempts... at least will be sure it's not slowly drifting.

Kind regards,
Max
