Hey guys!
Thought i would post this because it may help out any new Explorer users. So today was the second day out with the Explorer sense i switch to it from the BH Lonestar. I was told on this forum that my upgrade was like goin from a VW to a Ferrari; No joke there! I can say this is alot more machine to learn then i expected, but i think i am starting to get somewhere. The first day i went out, i dug alot of those Houdini holes; the one that give you a good signal, then you dig the hole find nothing and the signal disappears.
Well, for day 2 i went out to a different site i have never been. The biggest mistake i think i was making was changing setting, but not understanding what they did. So, after the first hour i scratched all the settings i had and started over. Making small changes and noticing the differences it made in the machine. Within another hour i was digging less and less trash and making smarter choices on what to dig. What a difference!
Understanding the numbering system is my next task, once i got that down i think it will be clear sailing! For now, i am listening and watching for a "clean" signal. one that does not change pitch much and a number that does not move around all crazy. When i have a better understanding of what those numbers are telling me is when i will have this thing down!
Any advise or suggestion would be awesome! I think this week i will spend alot of time in the test garden.
