For the Learn option to work
accurately, it needs to recognize the same target characteristics with each pass of the search coil. For this reason, it is essential that you use Learn in an environment free of electromagnetic disturbance. This may mean moving away from other detectorists or powerlines.
It may be useful to perform a
Noise Cancel before undergoing
the procedure outlined in the
following tutorial.
Introducing Learn
Figure 6.1
Sometimes during your treasure hunting you may wish to instruct the Explorer II to detect targets with very specific characteristics.
It may be that you have found a particular type of coin which you would like to find more of, or you find yourself constantly unearthing the same types of junk.
Minelab has designed Learn to enable you to instruct the Explorer II to accept or reject precisely the types of targets you do or do not want.
Your new target patterns are treated in exactly the same way as those you have used from the SELECT target list. Once saved, they can be used by themselves or in combination with other discrimination patterns.
In time, you may find this one of the Explorer II’s most powerful features. For instance, once you have saved target patterns of several unwanted targets you may exclude them all from your current Smartfind discrimination pattern simply by rejecting them from the SELECT target list. In a similar way, you could combine all of your desired targets into your own composite discrimination pattern.
The following tutorial will help you to make Learn a feature of your metal detecting.
NOTE Selection of Pinpoint effectively disengages the
Explorer II’s Discrimination functions.
