Sometimes during detecting you may notice some interference in the form of erratic noises and movements of the target crosshair (even without movement of the detector). The NOISE option enables you to select an operating channel which does not clash with other detectors or electrical sources in the area. This feature is also good for metal detecting competitions if several Explorer IIs are working close to one another. Each detector can be set to operate on a different channel so interference between detectors is eliminated.

The factory setting for NOISE is 5.

NOTE It may be useful to select manual sensitivity from the Smartfind or Digital screen before attempting this procedure. Sensitivity is covered in Chapter 5: Quickstart, page 49.

To adjust channel for least noise:

STEP 1 Rest detector on the ground. Make sure the detector is not moved and the area is clear of targets.

STEP 2 Use the shift buttons next to the adjust arrows to select a channel and listen for interference (or ‘noise’). Adjust the detector to a new channel and listen again. Do this with each channel in turn until you locate the channel with the least noise.

NOTE The number associated with Noise does not denote an increase or decrease in power. It is simply a channel number which can be remembered.

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.
