I need help. Are there any other Safari users getting deep rusty nail that sound like silver and read 37? Do I have to dig rusty nails all day or is there a way to tell if a rusty nail is under the coil?
Iron Patch said:What is your discrimination set at? Low disc and using the null to your advantage is a great thing on the higher end Minelabs.
Sandman said:You can see if you can get a double blip on it. Due to the rust the detector sees a better target and reports it as good. The only solution is to turn up disc and lower sens so much it won't hardly read any targets. Or you could ignore that number.

I have been getting rusty nails and or wire on the coin setting and even turned the sens down to 10 and will still get them.

You did try a factory reset? I'd say once every couuple of months on average my explorer becomes wacky and I need to do it. I would hope that's the first thing the Minelab agent would have asked you?

No mine is brand new maybe 4 hr's use. How do you do the factory reset on it?
NoNeck said:OK I just done this reset and an air test on coin mode I would get a signal with a rusty nail sometimes I would not and the VDI would be 40. Wish it was not raining today so I could go out and try it some more.
