Noise Cancel

[bad boy]

When you press this button after turning on the detector, does this ground balance the unit. Must you keep the coil still when its going through all the beeps?? Have no book to refer to at the time I was out with my friend. But we turned the machine on, I hit Noise Cancel and waited for the machine to quiet down, and proceeded to detect. Found a couple of metal washers. Must you hit the button that says Detect?? I suppose to take him out this Friday and just needed to know the turn on and go procedure to get him rolling along. he likes to sweep very slow. is the explore a slow sweep speed??, I was moving the coil like I did with my XLT which has a pretty fast sweep. of course we are always told to slow down, but I take that slow down as moving forward and over lapping your sweeps. I will be hunting with my XLT. The DFX is in the shop and it would not ground balance in some of the Whites pre-sets. I called them and they said send it in. At least I will know the machine is working correctly. Just give me the quick turn on and go, no need for anything else on the explorer right now, Thank You.............Pete

Leave the coil steady on the ground, it will automatically go back to search mode after 30 seconds. You are going to want to sweep the coil a bit slower than an XLT or DFX, about 2 seconds for each directon of swing, otherwise you may miss some deeper targets. I used to have a DFX and the Explorer II outperforms it hands down.

Thank You, I hear lots of guys telling me this about their Explorers, From what I read The Explore SE and the Explorer SE Pro is just a coil difference. Where does the Explore 2 come into the picture as far as being different fro the SE. I know new models come out all the time and guys jump on board buying them. But if you only detect from time to time I can't see the justification to buying a newer model. I know you guys get to find deeper coins, but it would take some convincing to get me to come over the other side of the fence. Thanks on the lesson, I guess I don't need to hit the detect button, right after noise cancel just go for it

I use an Etrac Myself, but I know a guy who has been running an explorer II since they came out
and he prefers it over his newer CTX 3030....He say's the EII is more stable in the target ID compared
to his 3030...I can tell he was disappointed in spending well over 2K on a detector that he doesn't use!
If I was you I would just keep the Explorer II, as my friend was digging a Barber Halve and seated dimes
in a well hunted park with his E-II
