it sounds like I have a bad coil.:cry The problems I described on the old forum only got worse until I was no longer able to get over a sensitivity of 10 any more. I tried everything we talked about and then some. Then last time out, I could only get it to settle down after a factory reset, and even then only for about 5 minutes at a time. That's when I knew something was very wrong. Called Minelab and the guy on the phone said it sounded like a bad coil and to send it in. I didn't have another coil to verify so I guess it's headed to Las Vegas. I hope it's back fast and I can get this thing humming. I'm really wanting to see how it's going to do on the beach when it's working as it should.
Good luck with your Explorer, I know from experience it is almost TOO deep on the beach.
