Explorer 2: Ferrous & Conductivity readings - calling ALL experienced users!
I want to start a post for beginners showing what kind of Ferrous & Conductivity readings show with your finds. For example, perhaps post a picture of your finds and state what settings you used and what Ferrous & Conductivity readings you got when you found it. If you use a different coil than stock, tell us what kind you use please.
I will start with a comment from Neilo. He uses a Platypus Coil from Coiltek:
