Detector(s) used
Minelab Explorer SE Pro
Wondering if anyone had any advice on using the explorer in areas where there is alot of trash/iron targets

I am having difficulties with my detector in these areas....I have permission to hunt a 1700's house under renovation...there is an incredible amout of metal in the ground.......my detector is masking constantly. Anyone have any helpful hints as far as sensitivity settings/any other settings???

All metal mode would really put me over the top for sure

:help:
thanks

Turn fast "on", deep "off", turn the sens. down to about 12 or 13-ish. Use the 5" coil. Use ferrous mode, with the screen wide open (so iron gives a low sound). Creep really slow - trying to isolate out targets. If targets are *trying* to be masked by iron, they won't give "4 star" signals. Ie.: TIDs and sounds can be skewed, yet you will hear things "trying" to bleed through.

Although noisy, I like to use the ferrous mode in iron/junk ridden relicky type sites. It somehow seems to give an edge that ...... rather than giving a null (no sound) over rejected (blacked out) targets, you hear them (albeit rejecting them by sound). This just seems to give a better mental picture of the entire field of targets your machine is trying to hear in and around, allowing you to size up and get a mental picture of what you're passing through and over.
