Introducing Sounds

Main Menu > Audio > SOUNDS

The SOUNDS menu allows you to define how the pitch varies with target characteristics. This can be a very useful feature in identifying

Figure 5.19 Sounds menutargets in close proximity to one another. It is possible to instruct the detector to emit a distinct sound responding to an object’s ferrous characteristics, rather than its conductive properties. To test sounds upon selection it is necessary to move the coil across one or more targets with different conductive and ferrous properties.

Constant

Main Menu > Audio > Sounds > CONST

Selecting CONST eliminates the variation of the pitch upon detection. If selected, the Explorer II will emit a consistent tone regardless of the target detected.

Conductivity

Main Menu > Audio > Sounds > CONDUCT

Conduct is the factory preset and Minelab’s recommended option. Selecting CONDUCT adjusts the tone to identify the object relative to its conductivity (the vertical axis of the Smartfind screen).

A high pitched tone denotes a large, highly conductive object with target crosshair displayed near the top of the Smartfind screen (or near a Digital rating of 32).

A low pitched tone denotes a small object with low conductivity. The target crosshair is displayed near the bottom of the Smartfind screen (or near a Digital rating of 1).

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. The detector comes with various pre-set detecting modes for different environments, such as trashy urban areas or open fields rich in history. 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.
