The Explorer II’s factory setting is to start in Smartfind for your first detecting session.

If the alternative Digital display is the last used, the Explorer II opens with this screen next time you turn on the detector. It also retains all adjustments to

settings made in the previous

session (including those

made in Smartfind).

When you first turn on the Explorer II, the Quickstart Smartfind display will appear and you are able to begin detecting. The detector is prepared to respond to non-ferrous targets while filtering out ground signals.

The following pages in this chapter outline the basics of metal detecting and use of the Explorer II. You will learn how to interpret its responses to targets and make your own adjustments to the settings.

Regardless of your level of experience with metal detecting, Minelab recommends you begin in Quickstart mode to familiarize yourself with basic features and operation before experimenting with the detector’s advanced features (detailed in Chapter 6: Advanced Use).

A number of additional functions and features that are likely to be accessed frequently while detecting are also explained.

These include:

•Target SENSITIVITY and THRESHOLD levels, adjusted with shift buttons

•IRON MASK and PINPOINT, activated by shortcut buttons.

•MENU functions, accessed from the control panel shift buttons. These enable you to adjust the display and audio, define targets and move into Advanced mode.

This level of customization makes the Explorer II a versatile tool suitable for various terrains and conditions.

The build quality of the Explorer II is also commendable. Designed for durability, it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use while remaining lightweight and user-friendly. The adjustable shaft allows for comfortable use for users of all heights, and the ergonomic design ensures that long treasure hunting sessions are less fatiguing.

Battery life is another area where the Explorer II excels. The device operates on a rechargeable battery, providing extended use without the need for frequent changes. This capacity for prolonged operation makes it ideal for long days out in the field.

In summary, the Minelab P0591-A Explorer II is a sophisticated metal detector that combines innovative technology with user-friendly features. Its Multi-Frequency Technology, Smartfind discrimination, customization options, and durable build make it a top choice for those serious about metal detecting. Whether searching for coins in local parks or exploring historical sites, the Explorer II provides users with the tools necessary for a successful treasure hunting experience.
