I am looking for some technical information on "Hot Rocks", as they relate to metal detecting.
I have the Garrett Ace 250, in case this is pertinent to your answers.
What is the mineral composition of a hot rock ?
Does a hot rock have nonconductive and conductive properties ?
Does a hot rock have magnetic properties and if so, how does this affect the radio waves coming from the coil ?
When a hot rock is under the coil, how do you know it, i.e. what type of audio/visual signals announce it's presence ?
Is it true that a hot rock has more nonconductive minerals than the surrounding matrix, and is that what causes a metal detector to register it's presents ??
These are just a few questions to give you an idea of the level of my curiousity.
Thanks for any information you care to contribute.
