First time out...two questions:

Got out briefly today, result was one merc. about 8" deep and a wheatie about the same. I was hunting a pretty heavily trashed area, judging from the nulls and low tones. My settings in Smartfind was coins, jewelry accepted, and nails, and crowncaps rejected. I only dug high tones this time, but will go back and dig lower tones too when I have more time.
Question one is, the high tones were very short, and I had to "work" them into repeatable signals, and at that they still had a "warble" to them. I knew the area had been hunted before, so I concentrated on deeper, fainter, signals. I varied the sens. around 20-26, used "Fast" setting because of the trash,and had the maximum variability setting. Does this sound right?
The Merc. was about at my digging limit and I was about to give up on it, so it seems I am getting pretty good depth.
Question two: I need help adding images to my messages. I have access to Photopoint, and I have no problem getting my images to Photopoint, but don't know how to get them from Photopoint to here.
If anyone can help me, please do so, and describe the process in detail and simple enough so that a Baboon or a Rhesus Monkey could do it (or me).
 
Greg, yeah you gotta work the coil to get solid responses on the deep ones, sounds like your doing it right..just takes a but of time to get it down.. Sens setting should be as high as you can without falsing too much..
if your getting your pics up to photo point the easiest way is to go to the page you uploaded them to, click on the pic you want to post, so its all by itself on a page, then right click on the pic and select copy image location... then come to the forum you want to post it, make your post and in the optional image url box erase the preloaded http:// and thenm right click in the box and click paste..that should put the image url in there. hit the preview button and see ifthe pic shows up in the post, if it does hit post, if not you did something wrong. you will have to go back and try and see what it was...
 
Greg, little different way of using Photopoint.
You say you have your photo there, just click on the photo you want, it will open a new browser with just this pic, and the http address at bottom. Just hold left mouse button and highlite
the url, then, edit, copy, then go to where your post responese click in Optional image URL, edit, paste and address is there, then just get rid of extra http:// and hit Preview to make sure you got it right, post.
 
Regarding the "short" tones and "warble"...I'm relatively new to the XS but just went out today in the rain and experimented further with settings. I find that for me, "audio 1" setting makes the signal linger just slightly longer and sound better ("normal" setting is pretty good too, but I think now that it's my second favorite). As far as the "warble" goes, it seems like it's inherent in the Explorer... I've heard a few people (including myself) complain about it.
I guess it just takes some getting used to. Good depth on this machine though. -Dave
