ID numbers for different targets

[Yooper]

I have noticed memorial cents coming up a solid 3-28 in my area too.

Yup, and at the beach when they get bubbled up they can also come in much LOWER, like gold. Zincs can be a real pain in the butt.

I have only been hunting for 6 months,so I'm no expert.But I have been digging bullets at 14 to20" and the numbers seem to lie but the tone stays true.

Please help.

I need to use only one frequency Exp-2.
How can I switch from multi-frequency too one exact frequency?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot choose and use just a single frequency. Your only option is to use slightly differing mixed groups (there are ten or so as I recall) of signals, which can be done manually or automatically. To do it automatically, which is how it is usually done, hit the "NOISE CANCEL" button on the front panel, and the detector automatically tests and switches from one group to another, finally selecting the group that has the least reaction to outside electrical/radio/radiation interference. To dial up a single frequency is an interesting concept that might have some specialized uses- perhaps in the next generation of machines!

The book, Minelab Explorer and E-Trac Handbook by Andy Sabisch has alot of target ID lists and is very helpful in understanding how to read the displays. It is a valuable tool for any Minelab Explorer or E-Trac owner. I use mine all the time and read and reread it for reference quite often. You should be able to get a copy from your local dealer or they could order you one. I just bought my Explorer SE a few months ago and this book has really helped. I have a long way to go before I fully understand the capabilities of my machine but so far it has been a blast to learn. Dug some silver with it already and one was a 1917 Waking Liberty Half.

I'm not necessarily a believer in air tests, but I wanted to build a coin specific program with the LEARN function so I did some.

To do the test, I went outside and found a clean spot of ground. Then I noise cancelled, and laid the detector down with the coil flat on the ground. My logic was to have the detector in as much as normal operating conditions with regard to ground balance and sensitivity. The values that I got were obtained by waiving coins over the top center of the stock SE 10" Slimline.
