[QUOTE="goldtrapper, post: 454990, member: 13646"] Thanks for the tips Smokey. I took the Explorer to a 1920's house that is being renovated. Unfortunately they had filled in 90% of the old verandah area. I love the explorer and was happy when in this extremely trashy area I found a penny, half penny and 1c. Well the 800 is new and I have not been happy with it as I find all this modern stuff confusing. So I took it there today and followed your advice with sensitivity and recovery. Wallah, a penny and schilling. I then upped the recovery to 8 and out popped a 1922 thrippence and a 1c. This area is just a deluge of rusted nails, tin, lead washers and modern screws. And these machines discriminated the area beaut! I still had problems with interference a foot from the metal fence but I hope a 6" coil may help this. I know I will learn to love this machine but it will take a lot of time and effort. I am now convinced it was the correct decision to replace the explorer. Cheers, trapper. [/QUOTE]
