A dealer friend of mine got one in yesterday and we put it together.---Be careful how you tighten that lightweight coil to the shaft-those "ears" look pretty fragile to me.---I still don't like the looks of all those "hollowed out" areas on the bottom of the coil. Dirt build up problem?? I sure hope I'm wrong on that!----As I swung the detector-it did make the Explorer have MUCH better balance-due to the coil being a little lighter (18.6oz versus 21oz Slimline), but mostly because of the coil being center mounted.---I was REALLY impressed with the improved balance that coil gives the Explorer.-------JMO, Del
