well i live in hamburg, ia . its about 45 min south of omaha,ne. i like to md in parks empty lots,we have sand pits. the area i live in is known to flood when we get alot of snow with a wet spring. a lot of the little towns around here were built right on the areas rivers. in 1953 we had a real bad flood and some of those small towns got flooded and moved. i like to locate the original location and search those sites. i've been trying to figure out how to create and load programs into my dfx. i should buy a book but i have only had my dfx for 6mos.

Welcome to the forum, Mitch. There are quite a few experienced DFX'ers here...Cybersage, for example.

Also, Jeff Foster's book &quot:grin:igging Deeper With the DFX is a great source of information.

WELCOME ABOARD!!!

Welcome holedigger. I have the DFX and it is an excellent weapon lol To save some of your programs, just pick a stock program and load it as usual, balancing it and so forth. I use the coin and jewelry factory preset since it has a lot of the settings I like. Then go into the menu and alter any settings in audio, disc, etc... until you have a good program. Just quickly click and release the trigger and you are ready to temporarily hunt with the new settings. To keep it in a program slot, just hit menu, then hit enter preset programs and then scroll down past the program labeled prospecting. The EEProm programs after the prospecting program are the ones you can store your new program in. Now enter any one of those four. You will see load, save, name. Scroll down to save and hit enter. It will blink and you have just over written the previously saved program, I now scroll down to name, so I can name it. It takes a while to name it, but it's worth it. lol When you are done, just load it and re check to see if all the settings are the ones you chose. You can override any of those 4 programs anytime you want, just in case you make minor changes that you like better. Hope this helps.....and if you really want to know the indepth DFX info?? Jeff Foster's book is unreal. If you have any problems saving a program, just ask again or PM me.

That book is full of DFX info that I never heard of anywhere else. I think he may have even surprised White's with his knowledge :shocked04: , but I must admit I had to read and re-read some of those sections over and over before they sunk in lol If you have trouble falling asleep, read it for about 15 minutes at bedtime and you will be out like a light, or you will be grabbing your gear and flying out the door to detect. Either option works :yes: Hope you like it.

[holedigger]

i need to do some reading because we are still in a mini ice age out here in iowa. if you can't go md'ing read about it. hopefully we can get a warm spell before to long.
