RECOVERING THE OBJECT

Fill your holes!

#

For the safety of others and in the

interests of respecting the

environment, ensure you leave an area of ground as you found it.

Leaving holes, or an area ‘scarred’ may result in action being taken to prevent the use of metal detectors (which spoils the hobby for others as well as yourself!)

 

THE MINELAB EXPLORER II

 

For this procedure you’ll need: a knife or trowel, a small

 

spade and a sheet of plastic.

 

STEP 1

Once the object has been pinpointed, clear the surface of

 

 

loose material and check again for the signal. If there is no

 

 

signal then the object is amongst the surface material. In this

 

 

case, search the surface material until the object is located.

 

STEP 2

If the object is still in the ground, check again using Pinpoint.

 

 

If you are about to dig in a grassy area, first remove a plug of

 

 

grass using a sharp knife or trowel.

 

STEP 3

Dig carefully to avoid defacing or devaluing the object. The

 

 

use of probes can often aid in locating the exact position of

 

 

the object prior to digging.

 

STEP 4

Place the grass plug and all soil you dig onto a plastic sheet

 

 

beside the hole. This sheet (which can be folded small

 

 

enough to fit into your pocket) enables you to keep all soil

 

 

for refilling the hole and prevents material being scattered

5

 

about the area.

QUICKSTART

STEP 5

Check the hole for the object. If it is not in the hole, place

 

 

the detector on the ground and with the coil flat, pick up dirt

 

 

by the handful and pass over the coil. Be sure you are not

 

 

wearing any metal objects like rings, bracelets or a watch

 

 

which may interfere with the signal. If you receive no

 

 

response, return the dirt to the hole. Repeat this procedure

 

 

until the object is located.

 

STEP 6

Check the hole again with the detector. Ensure that no other

 

 

objects remain, then refill the hole. All soil on the plastic

 

 

sheet should be returned to the hole followed by the plug of

 

 

grass. This should leave the area as you found it.

The Minelab P0591-A, commonly known as the Explorer II, is an advanced metal detector that appeals to hobbyists and professionals alike. Renowned for its cutting-edge technology and robust features, the Explorer II sets a high standard for metal detecting equipment.

One of the standout features of the Explorer II is its Multi-Frequency Technology. This groundbreaking system allows the detector to operate on multiple frequencies simultaneously, enhancing its ability to detect a wide range of metal objects. This versatility means users can efficiently find everything from small coins to larger artifacts, all while minimizing the risk of missing valuable targets.

The Explorer II is also equipped with Smartfind discrimination technology. This feature provides users with a visual representation of the detected signals, allowing them to distinguish between different types of metals. The LCD screen displays a target ID, enabling the detectorist to make informed decisions about whether to dig or not based on the target’s identity. This capability not only saves time but also enhances the overall efficiency of treasure hunting.

Another significant characteristic of the Explorer II is its customizable settings.

Users can also manipulate sensitivity settings and discrimination levels, tailoring the device to their specific needs and preferences. 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.
