I officially love the "Beast"

For those of you who don't know and who care (not many of you I know ) I knicknamed my Explorer II the Beast.

I took my kids to a local elementary school that has a really nice tot lot for them to play in and took the Beast along for the ride. Got one more hour in with it.

I found my first political item today, it is in bad shape but it is what it is. A campaign button!!

I also found my favorite item of all time to find (except really old coins and silver) a zipper pull, one made by Adidas !!

Not much clad but I did dig a 1961 penny at 10 inches! How do I know it was at 10 inches, because I measured the hole.

This area has been covered really well be Baldingboy and Wheels73 so I only found two surface coins.

The other non-metal items are of course eyeball finds.

Thanks for looking, sorry there isn't more.

Re: I officially love the "Beast"

No kidding it is hard to find here, at least in the places I have hunted. I have been out detecting 64 times and only found a 57 Rosie and a 57 Quarter, 1957.

I am hoping the Beast loves silver and is going to help me find some..

Yeah I know they are just plain copper pennies but I can tell you my Deleon just couldn't get that deep. The deepest coin it found was the silver quarter at 8 inches and the ground was soaking wet. It could find cans at 10-12 inches in the same conditions

And I have been out a lot with Baldingboy detecting and he uses an XLT and he has had the same problem as me finding the silver. And I know you love your White's, I got nothing against them either. BBs XLT is a nice machine, and he is getting really good with it.

The one thing I can say is that if I am pulling copper pennies from this depth I should be able to find silver at that depth too. I am just going to go back and revisit some of my old sites with the BEAST. I can tell you one thing about the BEAST, it one heavy sucker!! My Deleon is a feather compared to this thing. Time to hit the Gym and start trying to get my physique looking more like yours instead of Shrek's

Re: I officially love the "Beast"

If silver is not there,you are not going to find it no matter the machine.Some old sites have been re-landscaped and the old coins are beyond reach.Keep trying different sites with that machine you will find silver.

Mastereagle,
Great finds you have there. Keep up with the beast and you will two will come to an understanding.

You must give me that dog head you found. It is kinda cool.

Congratulations on your zipper pull. It is not quite as nice as some I have found, but I'll give you a little praise for finding one I missed.

Take care...good hunt!

The Beast, ahhhhh for a minute I thought you were talking about Hillary clinton nice finds

Re: I officially love the "Beast"

Ah, the Beast strikes again! Wait till you hit a nice sandy beach and start finding pennies at 18 plus inches and cans at over two feet! Your Beast is the next best thing to a two-box system if its there the Beast will hit on it.
Been using my Explore for over 8 years now and love it more each time I take her out. HH

I am not sure you missed it someone may have dropped it the first couple of days of school. Now the campaign button is a different story

The dog head is yours, I will deliver it to you tomorrow. Why is the Godfather theme running through my head right now??

My wife has nicknamed my Detector and my laptop as My HOs.
She says I love them more than her.
Thats not true I love her just as much as them.
