Ok Explorer II owners help me out here. I think my EXP II is great because of its depth detection. It's sounds are a little too video game sounding, but I can live with that. What I can't live with is what I witnessed in an experiment today.
You know how when the detector is detecting high iron how the threshold hum intermittantly goes away? Well I had a suspicion that if there were desirable objects in these areas during the "hum out" that it wouldn't give me a signal. I had my friend who had just found a dime put his coin in the middle of my high iron area and it would hardly pick out the dime right in front of it. It would register it one way sometimes, but the ferrous and conduct range were both high.
My discrimination was set about factory at -6. When I put my discrimination down all the way, it would still barely register it. The thought of not finding objects in high iron areas drives me nuts. What am I to do?
