    My condolences to the family. My prayers are with them during this most difficult time.

    Digital Cones

    I compared the digital reading to another detector I have that will present the raw data or average the digital reading and as expected there is a cluster of numbers. It looks to me like the Explorer has reading that can be visualized as a cone. At the top, peak, would be a combination such as...

    Surface Blanking Tests

    I took some time to check the pros and cons of surface blanking. I wanted to check my own tests and also answer questions in my mine that were raised by other users. Let me say up front it does work but I wanted something more than just that so backed off till I had the time for more testing. It...

    Headphones

    I don't know how to answer if a user misses anything by not using headphones. I have no doubt I would miss the low faint sounds. So, I can only answer for myself and they are a must for me. I want to hear the slightest whisper as I have found some really deep good targets that I am sure I could...

    Interesting Tips from Ralph at Sun Ray

    I was able to talk with Ralph at Sun Ray for about an hour today. Let me say right off that they are real nice folks and very knowledgeable. They are the type of people I like to know and be associated with. Here is a great tip he shared. The advanced mode can be used to make changes then switch...

    Hunt for Relics Today in heavy IRON!

    We have a slight break in the heat so managed to get out for a couple of hour to relic hunt after reading the post on deep iron. The site is on about 180 acres of private and the location of a CW camp and Indian Trading post. The trading post was constructed in the 1790 to 1820 time period...

    IM-16 With ICONS

    Hear is a way to use Smarfind for IM-16 and get ICONS for rejected targets. Instead of using the iron mask screen go the Menu and Clear the screen. Then select all trash to be accepted. The clear screen has done that but unless we select all trash ICONS they will not be indicated on the...

    Discrimination

    It would appear from my posts that I use a lot of discrimination but that is not the case. I use an open screen but with Crown caps, lower right rejected, and about 98% of the IM-15 area rejected. I then kill pulltabs, tails, and other small bits of aluminum with a single dot or pixel based on...

    IRON and Aluminum

    In clean ground we can use IM-16 or a clear screen and go for it. We just dig or don

    More on Heavy Trash

    Your observation are well taken and I agree and try to caution about discrimination as some target are going to be missed. If a ring hits at the same digital readings as pulltab set for rejection then we are going to miss both unless there is a way to tell the difference. This is what I have...

    Some ideas that may help.

    When we test our machine most likely we put a target on the floor or soil and may have a target buried in our yard. If you were like I was the target would be tested laying flat and right in front of me. I started to realize this is a very poor test since targets can be at any angle in the soil...

    Super Program and Setting for HEAVY TRASH

    Super Heavy Trash Program Use LEARN to Accept trash targets. This can be done by sweeping over a heavy trash area in with LEARN Accept or sweeping trash targets past the coil. I reduce the sensitivity to 1 to 3 so there is no interference accepted as false targets. Use the smallest cursor for...

    ID at Depth and Surface Blanking and Manual Sensitivity

    I just got back from working on the house so thought I would jump in on some topic but do so in one post concerning surface blanking and coin ID at depth as they are tired together in my thinking. I don

    Off to work on house

    HOW TO BLANK SURFACE TARGETS STILL DETECT DEEP ONES

    Ok, one more and I am out to an old park. Years ago there was an attempt to put surface blanking on detectors. The idea was we could kill trash from the surface down to 4 inches in steps. It did not work out very good and drifted into never land. However, we can accomplish surface blanking in...

    How to Pinpoint a Target

    It may not be clear that the first sweeps in pinpoint are to locate the hot strip of the target. All we do is try to find the hottest return for a target. When we turn the coil at a right angle then use the point just in front of where the rod connects to the coil to sweep down the the hot area...

    Which Coil to USE

    I have an array of coils for my DFX since I can get them at dealers cost and Whites is really good about having a pretty good line of coils for their machine. I feel I have the bases covered with that so use the small and stock coil on my Explorer. Anyhow, most often it seem to be that user...

    How to Learn/Save/ and use pulltab targets. This is long.

    It has taken a while but the Learn Edit is really starting to pay off. This may seem kind of backwards but to save just a target such as a pulltab this how to do it. Go to Learn and black the screen then use the CHECK to accept a tab. I use the small frame to match the pulltab as close as we...

    Away

    My sons and I are working on the old home site located about 125 miles from us. I will leave this evening and be away several weeks off and on for that reason. I hope I have not confused the issued too much but will see you later. Have a great 4th and good hunting. HH, Cody

    Processor HIT Speed

    My EX11 gives a digital reading and icon with the first pass of the coil. The exception is if rejection is set so that the target falls in the rejection area for some of the hits. If the coil is swept in such a way that 3 hits produce a reading that is in the black area of the screen and only...
