You better jump on that deall

You should have no trouble learning the detector.

Buy it... Do a factory reset (Hold the on button down ut till it says factory reset) ... Noise cancel...... go detecting and have fun .. Just stay out of the nmnus for awhile .. learn the sounds ...... Swing the coil slow then slower.. it is a deep seeker machine ..

I just picked on up for the same deal! Do what was said above PLUS make sure you have a good enough digging tool!

Use the factory preset until you get familiar with the unit...Put sens in mid twenties manual and threshold to your liking is all the changes you have to make.
Run articles under the coil until you catch on to the sounds and after a while you can make changes. Unit is only as hard or easy as you want it to be.
A couple times out with an experienced Explorer user also helps to cut down on the learning period...

Nam1969, did you buy it? Explorers are good machines and easy to learn despite what some folks say. They are heavy but it is a worth it.
If you bought it and have read Andy's book dont start in pre set. Use advance and go slow, swing slow and listen.
Re-read some post here on this site from Bryce, Mike O and Charles.
Good luck and have fun!
