Dell, re-read what I said above. The manual covers this doubt. It states that if there's a rock the temp drop level will be different than that of gold. And it appears they developed a setting in the microprocessor regarding gold, due to field experiments which they now know the patterns for this metal.

I might add that there would be no differential in temperature if the Gold is buried more than a few inches below the surface, or in a wet envoirmen. In my opinion, it is an impractical method to search for nobel metals. Dell
This is featured in the manual. A deeper buried gold is less warm than one placed near the surface. But here also mass comes into play. The more mass the object exibits the more energy is translated to the system.

Anyway all of those questions will be answered as soon as I get a field report of the unit.
