I am really starting to get the hang of this Explorer SE

Tommyboy :thumbsup: :thumbsup: It is fun when silver is coming out of the ground !! Nice shooting !! MaineRelic.
 
Wow, I bet you can't read this post, cause you are detecting there right now. I know I would be, LOL.

Nice bunch of Silver, looks like the Explorer is doing a fine job. Go back, Go real Slow and see what you dig out, bet you will find lots more goodies. I know a guy who hunts with a Explorer and he swings his coil at a snails pace, but you know what, he always digs Great targets. Try it, hope you are using a headset, that will help you to hear those really faint signals, the repeatable ones. The ones you want to dig!!!

Hi, thanks for all the great comments!!! Yeah, I'm really lovin' this Minelab. the first time I went out with it I just went on my property around my house. we have around 11-12 acres in town so I practiced for most of the first day before I went anywhere else. To be honest the first 2-3 hours I was sick to my stomach and was regretting buying it. then I got a good signal and dug up a pocket spill of three memorials, 2 zinc pennies and a clad dime that was honest to God directly under a 3x3 inch flat piece of rusted iron!!!! that sold me!!!! I even found some wheat pennies on areas I had went over a ton of times with my prizm. I'm getting good at recognizing silver and clad coins, I am also finding indian head peenies pretty easy. I just need to work on finding nickels and gold( I don't really know what they register yet) anyway, signing off if anyone local wants to do some hunting message me on here and I will get back to you. thanks.
 
Way to go Tommy! Great picture too! I'm planning to hit the woods tomorrow. I hope I can pull up a little silver myself. Keep up the streak! :icon_thumright:
