Explorer II Continuous Signals

Boony...how far away from this site do you have to be before your detector works? Is this area a square block, square mile or what? Curious to know also is if you were to take a bag of this soil home how would it react there? Maybe take a pickle bucket home and bury a coin in it. It you can detect the soil at home then there's a bigger problem at the site. Does your probe work at the site? DB
 
Boony let me know if that makes a difference when you try the Parallel noise cancelling but I don't think that is the problem. I have no experience with your exact situation but had a similar problem in a park where through the last 150 years they dumped all the debris from burned down homes and the coal cinders (hot rocks) from factories for fill in the park. I was not experienced enough to reprogram my machine to be able to detect that park. After 2 years I'm ready to try that park again. I've heard that Georgia red clay:devil: through the years on forums has caused many problems for detectorists. Take a pickle bucket of that dirt home and bury a coin in it. See what you can pick up. Also you can take your time then at home to figure it out. And if you can't ship the dirt to Mine Lab:rofl:. LOL John..Digger, Mich
 
Cody I have a park that's full of Hot rocks as we call them up here. I'm going to try that park again after two years. I never lowered my gain when I hunted it. That sounds like a winner! Take care John or DIGGER BEGINNER
 
Boony, another thing to experiment with is to start with a black screen and go to the learn program and program in various types of quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies only. The
explorer screen would only have very little white areas....might work but to detect you would have to search very slow. Digger MI
P.S....2-12-06 Just thought a similar approach is the next time you go there is to start with a totally black screen on learn while you are detecting to see what areas are whited out. This should be a good reference to whats under ground.
Another test is start detecting in IM -1 then -2 , -3, and so on. Maybe you will still null out in -1. Just some crazy ideas. You got everybody thinking on this one. Can you send all of us a sample of that dirt? Happy hunting DiggerBeginner...John
 
Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the tips, it will be awhile before I go back to that site, however I think it's worth another look, I have certainly taken on board all your suggestion and will try them out including bringing home a bucket of dirt from the offending site. I'll probably leave it until winter sets in around June, I have just been given permission to hunt the public Parks around Launceston with a no dig policy so I have lots to do.

All the best
Boony
 
Make sure the detector is running in manual sensitivity. Sometime at sites like that the Explorer doesn't seem to know where to run the sensitivity.

Gain will not solve the problem. It is an "amp" of sorts. Adjust sensitivity. Tell him Cody. LOL
