Explorer gets some gold
Hi worked the beach for about 5 hours got the 2 small earrings both 14k
Yesterday I got the teeth and the 10k stud cz earring.
Im Having a hard time learning the new detector ,I feel that I am missing gold.
Might take me months or more to get to the level of skill I have with the Excalibur
I set a gold program in the explorer to discriminate pennies dimes and quarters and accept gold.
I guess it worked didn
 
Nice pieces of gold. WTG!!! The Explorer is good on both small and large gold. Just wondering though how come you don't want to dig any coins? I can definitely understand not wanting to dig zinc pennies but unless an area is really infested with them you might want to reconsider digging them as some large Men's Gold Rings and Class rings can read as high as a Zinc Penny and all the quarters help pay for gas! JMHO

Again Congrats on a Great 1st outing with a new detector!

I took about 100+ pieces of gold of all types from the smallest to the largest and programmed each one in the learn function so it accepts them. After I tried passing a quarter , dime , penny ,I got no response from them.
I know that if you use any amount of discrimination there
 
One of the biggest advantages the Explorer has over an Excalibur besides it's improved target response to small gold is the great range of Audio ID Tones. With an Excal or Sov you can not tell the difference in the coins as the tone is almost the same except for a nickel. But with the Explorer each coin denomination has it's own tone that is easily discernable one from another. Most of us who use an Explorer on the beach hunt in Ironmask Smartfind Screen Mode with the Ironmask set to it's lowest level and listen to all the targets. It doesn't take long to learn what the good and bad targets sound like and where they read on the Smartfind Screen.
