Just getting back into Exploring and perusing the Explorer forums offer this advise..Don't get hung up on specific digital numbers or target crosshair positions as a worn coin, one on end, one next to junk, bad ground can alter these a tad so learn the tones as thats the secret of an Explorer. Mike Mountray has some excellent screens which are highly accurate and his whole site gives excellent advice.
Gosh no secret settings, just settings that work for you in your neck of the woods and thank Andy Sabisch for his books coupled with the manuals sure give us good recommendations to excell with an Explorer and having used all brands must say they have the best innards and once learned make for one of the best on the market.
Sure wish they would come out with a lighter model but until that happens careful setting of the length of the lower rod and armrest with a swing just grazing the ground will certainly help along with the swingy thing and other devices to take the strain off the arm will have to suffice..
I know you oldtimes know all of this but just a reminder for those newbies entering the world of Exploring,,and good hunting to all...

Good advice as well (hard earned no doubt ).

I haven't been on much myself in quite a while but find it really nice to visit from time-to-time. Don't recognize a lot of the names ... but do remember yours.

Gordin,good to see you back.You still using that MXT you did very well in the hunt.

Well thanks Ron ... but I'd guess you might be referring to a different gordon. Although I do have an old White's detector (6000Di Pro).

I've been a Minelabs guy for many years using both a Sovereign (shallow water mostly) and an Explorer (for everything else) both of which I "really" enjoy.

Nice to hear from you anyway. Hope this winter ends soon so I can get out hunting again. It's been too long and cold and I'm starting to get cabin fever.
