Hello, My Metal Detecting Friends!!
If you're thinking this is another one of Dan's silver/wheat posts, well you're right!!
Yesterday, I tried to extend my consecutive turf hunt silver streak, and was thoroughly satisfied with my effort. I headed to the silver park, meeting Mike(Ratman) there in the morning. In a little over 3 hours, I ended up with 4 Rosies ('51,'56,'57,'61), along with 17 Wheaties(dates ranging from 20's-50's). I also found a large, aluminum gaming token. I recovered it a few feet from where I pulled the Franklin Half the other day. I really thought I had another Silver Half, but it turned out to be a token from the Redondo Fun Factory, an over 300 indoor arcade game house on the Redondo Beach Pier.
This makes 25 consecutive turf hunts with my SE Pro coil that I have recovered a silver coin. Almost all of these hunts have come from one park that has produced, following this hunt, 124 Silver coins this year for me. The silver park is really getting cleaned out. I honestly don't know how many more silvers could be left there, but I'll keep trying til I get skunked.
Thanks for looking!! Keep The Passion High!!

Minelab machine comparison testing yesterday
Mike and I were doing some signal comparisons between my SE/Pro Coil and his ML Quattro. In all the real deep signals (8"+), the Quattro would give a choppy high tone, low tone response...very, very iffy, making for a very questionable dig for Mike. The SE gave a solid, deep, repeating high-toned response on all of the deep signals. We even tried putting the SE Pro coil on Mike's Quattro. The results were near the same as before. I concluded that even though both machines have the same FBS, 28 frequency technology, they definitely don't perform the same in the turf on deep coinage (8"+). Many have called the Quattro, "A poor man's Explorer", but clearly Minelab left something out of the Quattro that makes the Explorers such a deep seeking machine with more accurate signal analyzing capabilities. In conclusion, the Quattro will find silver no doubt. Just ask Mike. But it's clearer to me why the Quattro is more affordable than an Explorer. You get what you pay for.
