Settings for bad ground.....

I have been hunting some very bad ground. The worst I've hunted on since I started this hobby. any suggestions on settings for the explorer? I mostly hunt in factory pre-set. If this is posted below, tell me and I'll find it......D.
 
wyhat do you mean by bad? highly moneralized or iron or both? I think you should switch to iron mask in any of the bad ground situations and maybe fast recovery and auto sens to see how it does on depth before trying manual sens
 
Ed, make sure you try a few tests with targets in the ground at 5 or 6 inches. set the sens to auto at 24 and see how well it sees target, then lift coil till it disappears, if you do not get any signal switch to manual and try again at various levels and determine which setting gets you best depth. I would run iron mask at -9 to start in conductive mode if enough non ferrous trash around, or even lower the iron mask farther to around -2 to -4 and run in ferrous audio just looking for tones above the low iron tones, if only trash is iron...good luck
