Yesterday i entered Unknown space (J102603) through a Wormhole from New Caldari and logged out. As expected, the WH wasn't there today, so after hunting Sleepers for few hours i tried to find a wormhole back to known space, with a core probe launcher and 50 core probes i thought this shouldn't be a problem.
My i overlooked something but I'm getting dozens of signature hits, that end up to be Gravimetric or Ladar sites. I limited the filter to signatures only, tried to uncheck brackets for everything but Wormholes, but still there are huge amounts of that sites, sometimes up to 10 on a 8au probe hit. This makes it impossible to find a WH, it takes quite a while to narrow down the hits till one can see that they are Gravimetric or Ladar, and with the huge number of them i don't see a way to find a WH.
After few hours of trying I'm thinking to give up this drake full of Sleeper loot and the implants in order to finally get out of there.
Is this intended ? Or is there a way to filter out all the other signature sites from probe scanner ? Also i have the suspicion that there is no WH at all, since there haven't been anyone in that WH space for hours (been watching ship scanner).

Thanks for the replies so far, will take them into consideration. The main problem is that the spots i probed already and marked with a bookmark shown up in scan results again if i use only 1 probe and i have to narrow them down to know that they are the bookmarked ones. Only with multiple probes there are those dots that can be separated from the bookmarked ones - but sometimes they are too close which makes it very hard to distinguish from the already visited ones. Here's an example of a 4 probes 4.0au hit: screenshot So that's not just checking the sites one by one till i finally find a WH - if that were that easy I'd not make a post.
But I'll try to search on the opposite site of the old WH then. If someone maybe knows a way how to filter anything out but the WH and doesn't want to share his knowledge for free, contact me in game, I'll pay for it.

Looook, there was suposed to be a risk by entering the wormhole, they said that in the blog. It was intended that you could get lost, and that the way out wouldnt always be obvious.
Just grit down, find the way out.
If CCP changes it, ill be very disappointed. This isnt wow guys, its eve, its meant to be dangerous and full of risk.
There is enough risk besides this problem, worry not. If you enter without a probelauncher you can get stuck. Or if you lose your ship and can't probe anymore. And you can lose your ship very fast in there - there is enough risk. CCP didn't mention that you can get lost because the WH solar system might have too many non-WH sites. If i scan in the middle i get even multiple results within 1.0au range.
Also i don't have any deeps space probes with me, they require astrometrics level 5. CCP made core probes so that people who don't use scanning for finding other players (pvp scanning) don't have to train astrometrics 5.
If people get stucked because they only use core probes instead of deep space probes that's quite a parody: like setting up an intentional trap by offering easy probes to get in (there are not nearly as much other sites in known space as in that damn J102630 system) and then not giving a chance to make it out within few hours of scanning  .

I think it is awesome that you are stuck or were (I really didnt read much more than the op).
I am disappointed though that all you are stuck with is a Drake..... I really would have been hoping for something like a Golem or at least Navy Raven.
I love you too

Welcome to the Hotel California. You can check in but you can never leave.
Stuck for 2 days now :( Running low on ammo and cargo space ( shiney loooootzzzz )and getting thin on patience.
2 days seem to be a bit extreme, probably your wh will be like mine very close in a cluster with other signatures. The hint of Laughlyn Vaughns above seems to be correct, in my case the WH was quite a little below the other singatures on the plane.
Apart from that i can only propose to make bookmarks on every place you have been, switch them on in the map overview, so that you can ignore probe hits next to the bookmarks.
Once you found your way out, that bookmarks will be very useful if you decide to come back to this space.
The gravimetric sites (the one with asteroids) will have rats spawned at them after a while for example. If you can run cloud harvester and hacking modules (you'll need the Archaeology skill) you can directly warp to the places you found, so the time you spend searching the wormhole isn't completely wasted, your bookmark collection will be valuable for the next runs.
