Yesterday I hit this old school and picked up a few wheats, a whole lot of clad, and a silver ring, today I worked the same school but a rundown basketball court. I dug quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, but you would've thought I'd get another silver ring. I love to find rings........

Great job Don You are tearing it up on the Silver Rings.

Are you hiding all your finds in a fish-tank? That looks like coins buried in fish tank gravel.
Well the plus side is the wife will not easily find the goods then.

All kidding aside good job.

Thanks Mike,,,, actually it is fish tank gravel. I clean my clad with a tumbler and add water, a drop of dish-washing liquid, and aquarium gravel to the mix. Anyway, I was playing around with the gravel to add a backdrop for the photo. I dug those coins today and also the four marbles; all four marbles were in the hole with a dime and a penny. For a while there I thought the SE was picking up marbles too.

Thanks for looking, My CTX will be here tomorrow and since these hunting grounds are still fresh on my mind, I can't wait to see how it will work in the familiar-to- me soil. Just for a sense of security though, I will take the SE Pro too.

Awesome for you. I have heard nothing but, good things about its depth and seperation abilities.
I will be watching to see what you post over on the other side.
I plan on ordering one probably next season myself.
