Walt,

The difference between the two would be wavelength or frequency of the magnetic anomalies. The size and shape of the anomalies.

Magnetic sands have very short wavelengths which indicate a very shallow depth to source and very limited depth extent. In a survey they appear as spikes which may or may not form a coherent pattern. They almost always coincide with the local topography (a dead giveaway)

"True" geological features have varying wavelengths (always longer) indicating some depth to source and some measurable depth extent.

The two are very easily distinguished and separated.
