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.

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.

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.
