Was supposed to be a test run with Minelab Explorer 2 - not bad!

I've used White's for 20+ years. So busy these days i rarely get a chance to hunt. Anyway, went to a site we beat to death years ago and was planning to just learn my explorer. Well, when I started digging really deep signals and they were goodies I realized there was more at this old site. I tweaked and saved a program and dug signals the whole time there. My poor buddy wasnt getting any signals with his DFX. I'm not kidding when I say some of these targets were over 15" deep. In fact, the first few I thought were phantoms. But not!

When I get more time, I am heading back. This site is just 15 minutes away. I'll tweak the explorer a bit more if possible. Only my 3rd short hunt with it and i am more than just a little impressed.

Congrats on the cut silver. I was outhunted many times with my DFX when I used to dig with a partner who swung an Explorer. In the right ground they are deep machines.

Congratulations on the Minelab and the finds. Before you get too set in your ways with that machine I urge you to try Ferris sounds with minimal iron mask and the gain cranked up. This is the mode I hunt with exclusively on my SE. If you are hunting old cellar holes excetera it is perfect. If you are hunting somewhere where there is a good bit of aluminum however you will go insane.
