NEW Minelab Owner Needs Advice?

[justanotherpulltab]

Just purchased an explorer and wondering if your swing speed should be slow like I have been reading about? I know about the fast and deep setting, which is best?

Always low and slow is best with the Explorer. The fast setting is not in relation to swing speed.

The explorer is one machine that you can almost push along and still get the great depth where most machines you need the faster sweep to make the filters work properly. I rarely use fast or deep. There really has to be a bunch of trash for me to use fast just because it cuts the sigal off to me. Also, if you reduce your IM you will notice a ton of targets passing under the coil.... cant believe you will miss too much. What ive found about deep is it gives the detector a better look at the target for TID. Most people that use deep also use a high sensitivity say 28 and low gain of 7. I use a high gain of 9 with a lower sensitivty of 24 and my threshold tones at 8. It almost seems to be the same. Ive tried both deep and a high gain on there wasnt a difference for me on the same deep target.
