    Vaquero Pockets Small Gold

    I had about 30 minutes at lunch today, so I ran to a nearby and very public tot lot. It was a bit rainy and chilly so I knew I would have the bark chips to myself. About 3/4 of the way around the playground after finding $0.14 and a pocket full of foil, I got a scratchy but repeatable...

    Vaquero Black en route!

    I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new (to me) Vaquero Black with the 11x8 and 5.75 deep seeker coils. I would love any suggestions on how to tune her up and hit the ground (literally) for park hunting (gold and silver... don't we all?;)). Thanks, Tim.

    SE Pro with Ultimate Coil .... GOLD!

    Pretty quiet here on the Explorer Forum... Thought I would post my find from a park hunt yesterday. My intent was to spend time around the outward edges of the park, near the wooded areas and old tree line, which I did and found the normal assortment of clad and rusty iron... one very worn...

    A bit of Lake Silver

    Still getting the hang of the ATX, but spent a few hours hunting tonight with Flysar and snagged a silver ring at about chest deep. Really enjoying the ATX so far. Tim.

    Larger coil lower sensitivity or visa versa?

    I am curious what other Explorer members have found.... do you get better results using a larger coil, but having to lower sensitivity to quiet the falsing, or using a smaller coil with the ability to raise the sensitivity higher? Understanding that every hunter's ground varies and what works...

    Military Pin Find near Fort Vancouver

    I took my kids to a park near Fort Vancouver yesterday for about an hour. I pulled out my SE Pro with the WOT coil and decided to take a spin across this heavily hunted park using conductive sounds and a 22 iron mask. I found some clad, a casing and bullet... and a collar pin from the...

    New ATX User Tips

    Hello everyone! within 24 hours (if the post office is telling the truth), I will be the proud new owner of a Garrett ATX. I am really looking forward to taking advantage of the PI technology in my highly mineralized ground and into the water while there is still summer to be had. I currently...

    Question re: Ultimate 13 Hum

    Hello everyone, I recently bought the Ultimate 13" coil for my Explorer SE Pro, and have been running it for the last couple weeks. Today, my lower shaft clamp failed, so I lifted it up to take a look (with the machine still on) and noticed a high pitched hum coming from the coil... I had never...

    IH #2!!!! It has been a good week!

    I went to an old school in Portland to try out my new 5" Sunray and found a few pieces of clad, it seemed to be tuned in to nickels (or the school had been cherry picked for high conductors). Still have a lot to learn on the small coil... but I decided to walk across the attached ballfield with...

    Sunray Stealth X-5 Coil

    Does anyone use the Sunray X-5 on their Explorer? I have seen a lot of posts on the etrac forum about it, and the overwhelming response is that they love it. Just curious if anyone has experience with it on the Explorer. I just received one, and I will give it a go this weekend and report...

    First IH!!

    Took a drive tonight to an older school in Portland where I have had a little success in the past and decided to swing the Explorer SE Pro over a small patch that I covered pretty thoroughly with the CTX in the past. Got a faint signal at about 5"... 40's Wheat. Then a more solid signal at...

    Explorer SE Pro Pockets Gold

    I have been learning my new (to me) Explorer SE Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have found a few wheats, but still waiting for my first silver... Went to an old Portland OR school in hopes to find some older coins... I did find 3 wheaties (45, 42 and 23), and was making my way around a basketball...

    Reason #5 to Dig Those Zincs!!

    I went out to my local school/soccer field last night to get a little post rain hunting in. I gathered about $3.00 in clad over about an hour swinging the etrac in Andy's pattern, and started heading back toward the car. I got a solid 12-37 at 3" and decided to dig the zincoln. Out popped the...

    My oldest find... A very crusty V!

    I was lucky enough to get out and enjoy some rare sunshine yesterday with Flysar at a 1920's park in Portland, OR. We came to the conclusion that the park was cherry picked hard... we both found nickels and zincs, a few coppers but not much else. The highlight of my day was stumbling upon my...

    Does this count as "silver in the hole"?

    In my quest for silver coins, I told my wife that I wasn't going to trim my beard until I found "silver in the hole"... with the intent of finding a rosie, a merc, or even better... something larger and/or older. Well, I have been on a silver drought since the beginning of March, and while my...
