My first post. I have owned an Explorer II for the past couple of years but I never have time to do some real detecting as I work in Afghanistan and my detector is back in Canada. Still trying to decipher the tones when I do get to use it. I won't repeat questions that have already been asked so I will take my time and try to read the ones that are on the forum. Maybe that way, I will pick up some valuable advice on how to get the most from my Explorer.
