Deep setting

[Anonymous]

Hi I just got the explorer for Christmas. I have read the manual and Andy S book on the explorer. I was wondering what happens when you use the deep setting and why I would not want to use it most of the time. The area I hunt in NJ is very heavy mineralized,most of the spots were hunted before I need to go deep for some old stuff. Jack

Because Fast and Deep recovery modes produce their own batch of goodies. After hunting a site thoroughly in Deep I will then hunt it again thoroughly in Fast, both will have great results where only using one will cause you to leave too many goodies behind.
I don't always hunt a site thoroughly in one or two days, sometimes I will work a site for weeks using only Deep mode, but once the pickins have thinned out enough I will then go back over that site again in Fast mode which could also take weeks. I believe using both modes is a must at any given site, both see differently.
Depending on how trashy a site is will determine whether to start out in Fast or Deep recovery mode.
Good Luck

Thanks for the response to the post. What will these settings do that are different than the standard settings? Does the fast setting let the machine recover faster. Should you use this setting in a area with alot of trash.

Fast responds quicker, better in trash and iron, it also seems to give a steadier tone to me... deep kind of mixes the audio like the audio 1 mode.... Deep requires a slower sweep as well.. I use deep only when I am sniffing out deep stuff and working an area real slow..otherwise I am in fast mode. I have yet to see a target not be picked up from ine mode to the other, but on the real deep ones at the brink of detection depth it does make the signal more pronounced....
