Factory setting on SE

Post by Dallas51 »

How reasonable are the factory settings on the SE , are there any drawbacks to using this , or do you recommend using certain program etc.

Using machine after few years break and trying to get used to it again. On land where hammered has been found, mainly pasture.

Thanks in advance

Factory setting knock out too much information.

No discrim.
Conductive.
Deep on.
Fast off.

"Normal" iron squeals in top left.

Deep iron can give a better audio tone but the crosshair holds on the left of the screen.

High conductors (viccy pennys, musket balls etc) almost sound like iron but the crosshairs are middle top to top right.

Pretty much anything that isn`t iron gets investigated. Sometimes you will get an ironish signal that pulls the cross hairs across to the centre of the screen, that is non ferrous near/next to iron.

Signals where the crosshairs are half on/half off the bottom of the screen & jumpy are (inevitably) foil/alloy but I always dig them.

Normal detecting run Sens in Auto, on a hotspot switch to manual & crank it up as high as is stable.

Volume on the machine is almost maxed out but I use headphones with volume control.

Then learn the targets & what the ground is telling you.......... and I don`t move that quickly!! ::g
