Explorer SE with Pro coil, Fisher CZ7a pro
I found this 1900 IH at a house I had searched once before. I have had my SE less than a week and I took it here. I searched for about an hour total today. I heard a high tone and it told me to dig, I don't remember exactly where it was in smartfind as there was iron close to it and would null and be hard to get a threshold tone, so I went by the high tone. Once again it has paid off, I find I will rely for the most part on my ears as to whether to dig or not..

Iron Patch would say you did good. Rely on the ears is the best course and you will only get better as you learn the detectors better. :hello2:

I do agree and you'd be better off ignoring the screen right from the start. I have no doubt about that because I used to look at it and know how far I've come, and how useless and limited it is. It's never going to decide for you why why look at it at all!
