This diagram that you have shown us speaks heaps.
A similar diagram/s being posted by I think, Mike Moutrey a few years ago and also many of your posts and instructions, that make mention of the fact that the bouncing of targets when they occurred, are most possibly a good deep target.
To me, it's not been as pertinent-a-fact until more recently. I still never paid too much attention to these variations until recently while I hunted on some beach sites( the sand is SO much easier to dig and investigate). Yes, those iffy bouncy signals can be very deep good targets. I tried it in an air test and noted targets that are just in
range of the Explorers detection field can be good targets when they produce such a result.
This behavior is evident even in an air test, BUT the target will behave similarly in the field. As far as the sensitivity adjustments in conduct or ferrous with other variability's go, it's going to be difficult to explain given a sites iron infestation and how that infestation of iron relative to a targets location is going to affect it.When I first got the Explorer, i hunted the front yard that had been gridded with ferro/galvanised re tic pipes. The grid boxes where about a yard square and down about 12 inches plus. I think about how many goodies I missed by not paying attention to sensitivity reduction in order to achieve a stable or just stable THRESHOLD when searching in such areas.
Now that you've have made mention of, I just wish I hadn't allowed myself to be reminded of such variations being possible good targets.........'cause I have to go back over very many sites and start looking for these similar reacting patterns......in CONDUCT.

Thats going to take another six yaers to do
Thanks for this great info....regardless of that possibilty
