EXPLOER IM?

[LodiTom]

Just a question on IM,when you are detecting parks and other area's do you run in IM or do you turn it off?I couldn't figure out why i was digging so many bottle cap's and nail's till today.I actually dug more coin's then trash,the trash i dug gave off goofy signal's or sounded real good.I think i'm finally starting to get the hang of it HH,Tom

Thank's MT,I ran mine at -14 and was during perty good.So i think i finally figured out my problem of not finding stuff.I thought you would only use IM in demo area's,know that i know diffrent the goodie's should start coming ;D ;DHH,Tom

I like to hear everything except the iron and determine if I want to dig or not.

The screen will average signals, but the tones are usually a better indicator of what is down there.

-14 might give you a little more iron falsing as some of the iron (smaller) will hit high left and bounce to the right a bit. At -14, you will hear the iron bouncing and it will sound like a coin. You could even go to -9 or -8 and be fine in the parks.

Just my two cents

Hello Tom,

I run my Explorer with iron mask at 16- "negative" and with Ferrous mode, I would rather hear all the sounds which is the Explorer language. For me, Increasing the iron mask is the same as leaving out words to a sentence.

It takes several hours to learn the Explorer, One of these hunts it will all fall into place for you
