Default question searching on rocks

Hello everyone!

my third trip out I stop at a man made pond.
The edges are all rocks a little bigger then pebbles. ( palm size )
my metal detector would beep iron somtimes zinc. I would
move the rocks to the side and wouldn't find that beep again.
Am I doing something wrong?

this would happen all over the pond.
I did find something, a laddies bathroom sign!
Cant wait to put it over the mens sign at work. LOL
I should video tape it!

Rob

sounds like the rocks have minerals in them like iron or something. as far as i know, theres not much you can do about it, besides trying to discrim the offending signal out.
