Good question!
I have no experience with prospecting or hot rocks, but as a novice I think that I would switch back to C/T mode and listen to the normal tones and watch the TID. If it makes too many tones, or has a really jumpy TID or one that is unrealistic, I would dig several to be sure, and then begin establishing their pattern that will enable you to ID them when you get a suspect hit.
Maybe one of the pebble pluckers that live where there are hot rocks will chime in with some words of wisdom. I sure hope so.

I HATE HOT ROCK 
I have been dealing with hot rocks for years and I have no clue as to what to do to eliminate them besides dig'em. they come in all shapes an sizes and sound like a penny or dime or even a quarter that might have a piece of iron close to them. Yesterday I think I dug 3 hot rocks. I hate hot rocks.......

Did you try the Tracking Ground Balance Offset, as recommended by Kevin Hoagland of Minelab? In this video, Kevin demonstrates the proper way to implement Prospecting mode with tracking GB offset, in an effort to neutralize hot rocks.

I've scoured the net, and it seems that the video you're looking for no longer exists. Since it was a Minelab USA video, you might try contacting Minelab directly and ask them where you could find it, if indeed it is still available.
