first day with se

[saltwater jim]

ok my first day out with se i got 2.14 in clad and a small silver earring . the beach is sanded in so i didnt expect much what has me a bit concerned is i didnt find a nickel and pull tabs didnt give off a clear signal like the dimes and quarters and if u dont get nickels u sure as wont get gold
what i liked about se was the crisp sound on quarters and dimes and the silver earring . most if detecting was down in wet sand . i also lliked the balance of the machine .

what i disliked and this may be the operater not se was the amount of falsing in the wet sand esp the sound it gave me a deep low bass sound which may hide nickels and gold . i also got high falsong when a wave hit the coil. dont know of this is what to expect from se i know my excal and sov run smooth on wet sand . anybody else getting falsing in the wet sand. btw it ran smooth as silk in dry sand and could get sens up to 26 with np

settings were
sens-20 which i took down to 15 in the wet sand but couldnt get rid of false signals so went back to 20. i believe in manual not semi auto i looked and there was no circle around sens as mike said would be manual.one thing se book is lacking doesnt really expain how to get in manual and semi modes i hope i was in manual mode

disc function i tried all metal and there were to many iron targets for me so i used iron mask at 16. im hoping this disc should be good for gold just didnt like the sound pulltabs gave low and long instead of a crisp beep like the dimes and quarters give.


gain-left it at 8

audio sounds-conduct

response- i used pitch sound which didnt help me find a target i missed by change of threshold as i kept getting that low bass falsing

rec fsat off
deep on

only other thing i changed was tone variablity which i put to 10 maybe thats making machine work to hard not sure about that setting yet

so of i could reduce falsing somehow i would be happy camper i did reduce sens to 15 and still had falsing again im ablet to run excal and sov preety smooth in wet sand thanks in advance for any input

try something cool

turn the threshold to zero...........not just silet like 5 or 6 but zero

sensitivity up to like 24 or so

give it a try next time.............i am not expII expert just some things i did to make it work better on the beach

good luck

I have the same problem with my exp. exp2. it falses.The flasing sounds like a good target.I drop the sens. to 10 and does the same thing.I dont think it is my machine because both explorers do the same thing.
Does anybody have a answer to this problem?

hey max might try it in silent mode but from what i have read it says u may miss some deep targets however ive seen the holes you dug on posts and u get quarters deeep. can u let me know what your other settings are like gain and ironmask. i rewatched the video tonight that came with the se and noticed that the se s in video seem to be falsing abit maybe the se is made to run hot and just try to ignore falsing . this is first explorer for me so i have alot to learn maybe i need to lower gain instead of sens i didnt try that . now im wondering what gain minelab has used for excal and sov as they run smooth on the beach i deteck panama city beach florida
i know 2 things i got wrong today i thought the higher the iron mask the higher the disc so maybe thats why i didnt find any nickels or pull tabs didnt sound like a crisp beep i may have used iron mask to low numbered settings . i may also try like mike suggested and run all metal but im pretty sure iron mask has nothing to do with falsing maybe lower the gain from 8 down as lowereing the sens to 15 didnt help man o man i have alot to learn with this machine need alot of time on the beach and feedback from all u explorer owners but i do feel good i started with changing some settings instead of using preset settings ) HH JIM
