OK, I've heard about and seen the better aspects of the Explorer SE. Now, as a new Explorer SE owner I want the low-down dirty dirt. What are this machine's faults and weak spots. What do you wish someone told you when you first started hunting with your SE? I welcome everyone to chime in to help me and others reading this post. Thank you. HH. Matt

That there is a learning curve.... but once you move from the screen to just the tones and are listening to weak signals not surface tones you are on your way. Its a heavy machine. It doesnt particularly like loose soil. Deep targets like on most machines move on the smartscreen.... but there is a pattern to their movement. These machines have a lot of capability that most people NEVER use. They are forgiving IMO to bad settings except to much sensitivity. They have fairly slow recovery..... but cant be beat when worked slow. Most machine require a faster swing for the filters to work properly. Some people have never used a DD coil..... so PPing can be a challenge. There are a lot of tones.... to many for some people.
The Exp once learned is one of the best machines out there..... and id dare say better than any on deep silver. Its a good flexible machine as well you can adjust to about any area. Its a rare machine that can be as complicated as you want to make it or as simple as turn on and hunt.

Matt..... id highly recommend a SEF coil. The SE runs a lot smoother with it on.

Dew, as usual, is spot on, in my opinion, on all counts. Everything he said...
I'll add that if you are using the Slimline coil, you might or might not like it; some did, many didn't. The SEF coils are DEFINITELY good/stable coils, as Dew mentioned.
I can't think of any "minuses" to add, aside from Dew's points...

Basically keep it simple and don't get fancy with settings.....if you can find another experienced Explorer hunter to go out with several times it can really shorten your learning period...Google Mike Mountray as he has some nice screen data rel the cursor and simple settings without all the fancy preset programs etc....Imagine you can graduate to the finer points and settings but starting out KISS....
