Thanks for the replies, well I have an original sovereign and really like it, I know that it's not the same as the explorer. I liked the CZ-3D but I always wanted to try an explorer. Well the guy I'm trading with only used it a few times and he was frustrated I guess with all the sounds and information the explorer II was giving him. He says it's in brand new condition. He likes Fisher detectors so I think it was a good trade for both of us, actually he is shipping me the explorer and told me to try it out first before I send him the CZ and if I don't like it just send it back, you can't ask for anything more than that. Winter is almost here so I'll have plenty of time to read and re read the manual. I know there's a few books out there on the explorer, can anyone recommend a good one. Hope to have it in a few days and I'll post some pics of it. I'm sure I'll have more than a few questions.
Thanks again,
Gary
