Just getting back into the hobby; its good to be back! Used to have the original explorer with a tape-on grid for SF display. Just received my explorer 2 and wondered if anyone has a tape-on clear lined grid I can download for the explorer 2? It really helped me on the original explorer. Again, its good to be back!! Thank you in advance! :happy:
 
I'll be danged if I can find it, but someone had a download available. I did download it but it was in a format I couldn't open on my work computer. If I happen to find it, I'll let you know.

Thank you very much! Back when I had my first Explorer, that tape on grid screen made a huge difference for both gold & coin programs (learn/edit) and time spent analyzing multiple crosshair hits/tones in field conditions. To me, it was the best add-on besides the X-1 probe and 8" coil!!!;):)
 
Not the one I was looking for but I found this... You can actually make up a grid yourself in Excel and print them out on a transparancy sheet. I think this one is 8 X 8 but you could double up on that if you want

I don't really understand the need for a grid though. Why not just go by sound and a digital readout? Coins are not always "textbook". Soil condition, depth, position, co-located targets all affect the readout. One person's grid and target locations may not be the same for someone else. Right?

Thank you very much for all the time and effort! I'll take your word for it and try without the screen. Thanks again!:spin:

The one I had was for the XS; I downloaded it from the explorer xs forum back in 2001 or so. Resized it on copier to fit my screen perfectly, then printed multiple screens on a 8 1/2 x 11 clear plastic sheet. Cut out the one I used, and kept the rest for spares (can't find now). This numbered grid was phenominal for patterns, and I used different colored markers for targets; bench & actual. It was a tool that I would not even fire up the explorer xs without! I may have to try excel as was suggested myself. If I manage to get it right, I will e-mail it to you.:)
 
No problem Bob.

In case you haven't seen it, this is a great Ferrous / Conductivity chart.

I have the grid that you are wanting. The file is in Microsoft Powerpoint format. If you e-mail me I will send it to you.

As soon as I receive the grid from Gary, I'll let you know. If all else fails, you could measure your working smartfind (full size) and fit in the 0-31 coordindates for both conductive & ferrous. 00 would be on bottom right corner, with 31 top right (conductive) and 31 bottom left. I just don't know excell well enough yet to do it.
