and we had many other these type of signals from 7, 10, 20,.. meters distance.
Admittedly I'm novice with FG80, but come & go behavior was obvious.
can we conclude as a constant result?; "Don't mind about these signals, those are small non-gold items."
or not, it's possible to be a very small gold piece, but with a weak field.(as Esteban believes)

That’s an interesting debate. Although I might be more experienced than you regarding the Mineoro detectors, I’m also still learning.
Taking from a soccer terminology, there are several ways to take the ball to the goal. You may carry it with your feet , leaving the other players on the way in an artful manner or you could kick it off strong to hit the goal.
In the end it all depends on your skills and conditions present.
I’d say the same applies here in this situation. It depends on several factors to know whatever procedures to take and even if it’s worth it. But experience and practice with them is the key.
Answering your question I’d say yes and no.
It could be small worthless objects and also could not. If you get a signal say from more than 30 feet, chances are it’s gold, but depending on the ionic and humidity conditions at the time, you could only pick this same gold from say 10 feet. So I would suggest digging every beep you can determine the center and proceed as we talked previously by email.You will never be able to detect a silver ring for instance from 100 feet. But if the ring is a gold one you will. Maybe l will post some guidelines later which I believe will help. Esteban can help me on this.
When I was at Mineoro’s factory last year I took the PDC and in their test field with several gold items buried the PDC did not mark at all from 10 feet. Even if I positioned it from one inch away I had to wait 2 to 3 seconds for it to beep. It was because the ionic fields were terrible at the time. It had been raining for a whole week. Add to this Mineoro’s location close to the beach. Humidity most always high. Exactly as mine here. That’s why in the mountains or Brazil’s central region the performance is greatly enhanced.
Also although the PDC is almost the same range of the FG80, it is much more prone to electrical interferences which the FG is not. For instance, my neighbour has an electric fence. When it’s turned off, I can take the PDC to my garden and use it. But when it’s turned on, the PDC gets crazy, capturing the 60 hz cycles of electricity, beeping accordingly. The FG is imunne to that.
So due to this I believe the FG80 might be more focused on gold detection than the PDC and its high sensitivity to electric interference. I’m not saying the FG80 will not detect led, copper, bronze or silver also. I’m just inclined to believe it’s more resistant to them.
Notice that all of the above are just my thoughts and opinions and may not express Mineoro's accordance.
