Hello Everyone,
First I would like to thank Mike (ratman) for introducing me to a park in the Valley which has become a "silver mine" this past week for me. Mike, Curt(Bibleman), Jon(goldenapples, on Tues.), and myself have been detecting the "secret" park this week, and it really has been producing. Mike told me the park had been detected by his and his Dad's White's machines in the past, but not Explorers. This morning started out great for Curt and myself. I had just arrived at the park and saw Curt swinging his Explorer already. He walked over to me with a big smile on his face and showed me 2 Washingtons and 1 Rosie he had just dug out of one hole...Wow!!!
I proceed to turn on my SE and walk a little way down from him, and the first signal I get, I dug down and pulled out 3 mercs and a wheat in one hole. Curt couldn't believe it, neither could I. 
We both scored multiple silver holes. I've been to this park three times this week, and scored 11 silvers on Monday, 7 on Tuesday, and 10 more today. Most of the silver coins are mercs and rosies, along with 2 Washingtons. Average depth of the coins is around 3-4". Amazingly shallow for a CA park. Even though they are shallow, you really have to cherry pick these silver amongst the tons of trash, clad, and underground electrical disturbances. My machine was hardly ever quiet throughout today's hunt. It was chirping like a bird all day long. I was hoping for a silent area of turf to keep me from going insane, but couldn't find any, so I took a few breaks to let my ears recover... :P
The second pic is interesting. I dug a wheat, and what I believe to be a crusted steel penny on top of the wheat, along with a rosie that was sitting on top of the steel penny. Also got a small sterling pin, which reads "Ladies".
Mike and Curt, it was a pleasure to hunt with you two today, as always. Love that park, Mike!!!
Thanks for looking,

I would if my SE becomes my second-hand detector. But for now, it's the best detector I own. My other two detectors are Whites.
