    Ground is hard as a rock but, managed a few finds.

    Got out with my hunting buddy at a home we hunted years ago. This home happens to be very historic and is a registered place. Anyhow, the new owner granted us unlimited hunting of the property. The home was built in 1830s. I took my custome made digging shovel “version one” and it did great but...

    Got out today and hit a special house.

    I got out again today to hunt with my long time hunting buddy. I garnered permission at a house that kinda had special meaning to me. It was built in 1875. When my folks moved to Ohio from Kentucky back in 50s they rented the second floor of this home. Now I remember as a child going there a...

    Nothing important but, I did find one interesting item.

    Got out again this morning with my hunting buddy. Hit an old 1800s school house we have hunted for years. I scored an 07 IH there and the usual shotgun caps and misc junk. On the way home we hit another house built around mid 1800s and didn't expect to find much as I hunted it many times before...

    Finally some softer ground here in Ohio.

    Got out with my long time hunting buddy today and garnered permission at a home we had never hunted. It’s not a real big yard at this 1880-1900 home but, big enough. Dug a bunch of clad and junk. Two keepers for me were a really nice 1887 IH with a full liberty and a token “Good for one piece of...

    Finally got out again. Hard dry digging but, some good luck and bad luck.

    Got out with my hunting buddy and we hit a home we had hunted about 15 years ago. The farm had a new owner but, had no problem letting us detect. I got lucky and found a 1850 LC but, that was it other than junk. I hunted primarily around an old bank barn I had never really hunted. Sadly my...

    Good hunt for myself and hunting buddy today.

    Well, Ted you should donate it to me then so, I have a back-up 😂😂😂 In my opinion I can’t see myself hunting with anything else. Yes, I am biased I can’t help it as my Explorers have treated me good since my first XS.

    Good hunt for myself and hunting buddy today.

    Thanks 👍 It’ll happen I’m sure on your Seated. Going super slow is key in this kinda high trash. Smaller coil wouldn’t been better for separation but, it worked out ok.

    Good hunt for myself and hunting buddy today.

    Finally found time to get out with my hunting buddy. We just went close by to a place we have hunted for 20+ years. It would take forever to hunt it out it’s so huge. We picked an area where there’s tons of trash. I really need a 6-8” coil but, got by with the stock coil today. I sniffed out a...

    Need help getting a deep coin program on explorer 2

    Sticky I made at top of this forum hits on many important things. There are some good links to very informative information you might find useful for sniffing out the deeper coins. 👍

    First try Minelab they may or may not be able to help. https://www.minelab.com/usa/contact-us One that can help is MSR detector repair. Granted they on other side of pond but, it’s for sure a place that can help. https://www.metaldetectorrepair.com/#product Oh and final note all this is listed...

    Minelab Explorer XS

    Haven’t posted in quite a bit. Finally got out.

    My hunting buddy uses like a Swingy Attachment for his XSII because of the weight. It helps him a lot.

    SE-Pro with X1 Probe, Grey Ghost HP. As far as settings, pretty normal just a touch of IM to knock out iron or if cleaner area wide open. Ferrous tones, Fast off with Deep on. I’m in Smart Find screen and primarily tone listening. When I hit a desirable sound I like to use SF screen as...

    Haven’t posted in quite a bit. Finally got out.

    As everyone knows life happens and sometimes we all get busy etc. But, myself and my long time hunting buddy finally got out for a hunt today. Hard to believe it’s so nice and warm on Nov. 13th. We choose to hit a large property we have hunted several times prior as it’s been good to us. I did...

    The trusty SE never disappoints.

    Got out finally with my hunting buddy Bill. We hit an old home we got permission last year. It’s a large property and it seems there’s items everywhere. I had a good morning scoring a 1903, 1891 IH, 51 Roosie, some kind of Ohio scholastic pendant, a religious pendant, a Brave Cap Pistol in great...
