- Minelab Explorer Xs Metal Detector
2 weeks had past and the Lobo thrashed it every time of a finds rate of 10 /1, what could I be doing wrong, I am not stupid and always willing to take advice from other Minelab Explorer users. I tried several programs including all metal with the tones, nail reject, ferrous, constant, conductive. Audio 1, 2 & 3 sounded crazy. I recently purchased a second hand Minelab Explorer XS. I have spent a good amount of time understanding the functions but I know there'll be no substitute for getting out in the field and getting experience with it. My real interest is coin hunting in arable/ploughed fields. This video replaces the instruction manual and guides you through assembly and quick start menus to advanced and learn great video for beginners and veteran.
Incredible Depth-
The frequency range of 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz is the REAL horsepower behind the Explorer ll's world famous target depth... here's WHY:
The lower the frequency, 1.5 kHz for example, the deeper the signal travels. And, the higher the frequency, 100 kHz for example, the more sensitive the signal is to smaller objects closer to the surface.
Simple Physics right??-Read on...
Treasure Targets in the ground respond differently to different frequencies--making signals stronger or weaker depending on HOW much a frequency 'excites' the target. If you only have a limited frequency range like other brands, you're limiting yourself to what you may find. You could be walking over VALUABLE targets you don't even know are there!
(Can you trust the frequency range of your current detector?)
The Explorer XS combines the best of both worlds- Frequency RANGE and DEPTH! When you're hunting with an Explorer XS, you can be sure you have the most powerful treasure hunting detector in the world. You'll have the technological edge other brands only dream of.
POWERFULLY ACCURATE-
Multiple frequencies operating simultaneously sends and receives much more information to the Explorer XS than a standard 1 or 2 frequency VLF detector. This information is then processed by the Explorer XS's NEW 2nd Generation software to provide the world's most accurate discrimination . That means you don't have to waste time digging trash! The Explorer ll's microprocessor eliminates the bad effects on depth 'ground conditions' may cause.
SIMPLE yet incredibly VERSATILE- Beginners will appreciate the Explorer XS's 'turn on and go' simplicity. Just turn it on, set your threshold, press noise cancel, and you're ready to hunt in settings optimized for virtually any condition. Advanced users will love the power to customize countless programs to suit YOUR treasure hunting needs.
Minelab Explorer Xs Parts
Technology: Patented FBS (Full Band Spectrum)
Detect Oldest Coins and Relics Buried Deep
The current Metal Detecting Program, a combination of parameter settings, set up on my Minelab Explorer metal detector is a result of 'Try and Error' process that have been continuing for past few years.
My goal in creating an optimal program was to be able to metal detect deep targets under any soil condition that I might encounter at different geographic locations.
The users of the Minelab Safari metal detector might obtain a few useful tips from studying my program as their metal detector settings are similar to the ones of the Minelab Explorer series.
Even though Explorer's 28 Simultaneous Operating Frequencies of the Full Band Spectrum (FBS) allow me to detect without a trouble anywhere in the world, I still would like to detect the deep coins and relics while encountering toughest soil conditions. The following program enables Minelab Explorer SE and II Pro to detect a few more desirable finds at the locations where other treasure hunters quit searching long time ago.
The picture above shows the deepest hole that I had ever dug up at the 'hunted out' site to recover a large coin, circa 18th century. You can read my full story on Detecting 'Hunted Out' Site pages.
The changeable parameters are divided into two groups for better understanding of their utilization:
Group A includes the parameters that I do not change every time I encounter different metal detecting conditions such as the type of soil, concentration of junk, and type of the top cultural layer.
Group B includes only two parameters, Sensitivity Level and Discrimination Pattern, that I change even a few times during the treasure hunt according to the site conditions.
I operate my Minelab Explorer only in ADVANCED Mode with Sensitivity set up on MANUAL, and with Tone ID.
Group A Settings:
DISPLAY CONTRAST - at 10
AUDIO VOLUME - Max Limit at 10
NOISE - at 5 (if interference from the power lines, other metal detectors, etc. is absent)
RESPONSE - Audio 1
RECOVERY: FAST - OFF and DEEP - ON
GAIN - at 8 (even a deep target produces a loud signal) - Sometimes I lower the Gain level down to 7 when the junk concentration is high.
TH (threshold) TONE - at 5 (on Explorer XS) and 8 (on Explorer II)
VARIABILITY - at 10
LIMITS - at 10

SOUNDS - on FERROUS (medium size ferrous targets do not respond with a high pitched tone as if of silver)
Group B Settings:
SENSITIVITY - usually as high as possible - a notch below a setting that makes my detector unstable, which is allowed by trash concentration, soil mineral content, and the search coil's size.

Sensitivity Settings for different sizes of Double 'D' Waterproof Search Coils:
15 inches WOT Coil - 10-20
10.5 inches Standard Coil - up to 28
7.25 inches Coil - up to 32

Learn Your Metal Detector's Language and Its Full Potential Through Understanding the Instruction Manual, Practicing, and Experimenting
DISCRIMINATION patterns vary greatly. I utilize IRON MASK for all types of metal detecting: I always keep IRON MASK setting at -16 and in OFF mode, and switch it ON only when I need to check a questionable signal.
I usually utilize the Explorer's Discrimination factory settings and patterns to create desirable Discrimination patterns. Occasionally, I use LEARN and EDIT option programs in ADVANCED MODE to adjust Discrimination pattern for a particular target.
My Basic Discrimination patterns:
For Relic Hunting and Cache Hunting:
REJECT:'Nail'
ACCEPT: everything else
For Coin Shooting:
ACCEPT: 'Coins', 'Jewelry', 'Foil', 'Pull Tab', 'Screwcap'
REJECT: 'Fe Coins', 'Crowncap', and 'Nail'
This combination of settings is just a starting point for developing your own program according to your preferences and metal detecting conditions. My program is only to help you in doing your home work. Use the program for experimenting with various targets in field conditions, and see what settings work the best for you.
Please let me know your opinion on my program after you use it. You are welcome to submit some pictures of your finds recovered with my program. I would appreciate any suggestions, tips, and constructive criticism. If you have a program for Deep Search that you believe is more productive than mine, I would be happy to post it here. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
