Well, at least it was eye opening for me, and now I have to go back over all my
 
almost forgot, SWEEP SLOW, & be Patient! A slower sweep speed will allow your brain & explorer to process & identify all the many signals you will encounter with each sweep.
 
Hi Pete, I use almost the same except I prefer to just use a blank screen and discr. out crown tops cause of the hi tone they can give off. Ferrous sound, cause the iron has a hi tone in conductivity sound mode. That keeps me tuned for the higher sounds only. Every now and then I will get a high sound when I am moving away from an Iron target and it tells me either I have the edge of a iron target or there is a combo of iron and good target. Sometimes I can tell if it is genuine cause of the timing of the noise and my coil movement. If it stays at high tone only when I am moving away it usaully is just the edge of iron and when it has a beep beep sound after a to and frow movement most likely it is a good target with iron. I also have been running into a lot of scratchy sigs that are very questionable but they turn out to be either green wheats or a V nickle badly corroded. The signal is broken up a bit. I have been digging all sigs just to learn the ropes and it helps greatly.
 
Most of my tips were learned here. I can only take credit for repeating it and adding my own observations.

Hey Peter,
Does the Periscope also eliminate the need for a surface pinpointing probe such as the X-1? I have neither yet, just thinking of getting an Explorer, which according to some posts, is poor at the intitial pinpointing.

After a lot of reading of posts and the manual, I got the hang of pin pointing, It took me 20 + hours to realize that in pin point mode, the area that is being detected is not the full leight of the coil, but a small area at the center, now I have no problem at all pin pointing in that mode, It is still tricky in normal discrimination but can be done by bringing the coil down to the edge of the target well sweeping back and forth in a tight sweep...
