My wife graciously watched our 9 month old and allowed me to go out detecting. The snow was gently falling and it was about 34 degrees but I layered up and went out seeking treasure...
This was my second time out with my newly aquired Minelab Explorer II w/ pro coil. This machine is hands down the best I have ever used. I went back to a park that I go to alot and I've found approximately 80 wheaties there over the years with various other machines.
One 4.5 hour hunt with the Explorer II netted me almost 1/4 of my lifetime TOTAL number of wheats (19 total today).
And after 4.5 hours I need about 10 motrin pills. 
Seriously I'm sore as heck.
The wheats ranged from about 6" to 8" deep on average.
Also a first for me was the silver washingtons! Bot 1962 "D"'s oddly enough.... I usually can pick up a silver dime or two here but never quarters, they've always eluded me. Now I know why... These suckers were in a word... DEEP. When I got the signal on each of them, they both sounded distinctly like a hammer hitting metal.... A total "PING!" sound. The smartfind locked in the upper right. I knew I was onto something good when they both barely registered on all metal pinpoint and when I finally uncovered them they were a measured 11" deep. This kind of concerns me... If I am finding 60's silver this deep how the heck will I ever find older silver
I also found a choir pin that was still in its plastic box, an arcade token (Oakland mall - Simulation Station for you Michiganders), some buttons and tons of junk that I didnt bother taking a pic of.
