THE MINELAB EXPLORER II

QUICKSTART’S SMARTFIND DISPLAY

When first using the detector, you will see the Smartfind screen. Smartfind displays an object's characteristics using a two-dimensional scale of target discrimination.

Two-dimensional discrimination

Figure 5.3

When an object is detected, Smartfind indicates what kind of object you have found with a target crosshair. The location of this crosshair on the Smartfind screen is based on Minelab's unique two-dimensional scale of discrimination. An understanding of this will be helpful before Smartfind's Iron Mask and Discrimination functions are explained in the next few pages.

Two-dimensional discrimination explained

The Explorer II rates detected objects according to their conductivity (like most traditional detectors). What makes two-dimensional discrimination unique is a rating of the same object's ferrous content. Smartfind graphically represents both of these target properties on the same display.

•The vertical dimension (or axis) rates the object on size/ conductivity.
