I am relatively new to the explorer. I have an SE with the 10x12 SEF; a great set-up. I have been somewhat frustrated though with one of my test garden quarters buried at 10 inches with some iron nearby. But tonight the problem is solved thanks to Bryce's' settings which I read in an older post. The settings as follows which have revealed the quarter loud and clear with a nice consistent fluting high tone sound. The quarter ID's generally in the upper right hand corner of the smart-find screen. I can't wait to get out to the parks I have been hunting with limited success so far.
