    8" FBS coil is here

    The coiled end is a REAL tight fit through the lower rod. I can see I will need to get another rod. I am suprised I thought that would be 8 inches but it measures 7.25 without the cover on. I'm cool with that though. I can't wait to use it I have a couple places that it should be able to...

    Handle geometry question

    I have to wonder how many guys suffer because of the handle geometry on the Explorers. My first few outings have caused a bit of pain to my wrist due to the handles angle. I would love to hear how you guys cope with this issue. And... Is there a desire for a "fix"? Please weigh in on this. Jeff

    1st SE silver

    Hit a yard I have hunted several times before. It has produced several Mercs a Barber dime and many Wheats. Today was no disapointment. I picked out a '20 Merc and a '17 Wheat both are D mint mark. I was hoping for a double die on the penny but alas not this time. While digging the coins I...

    I have used my SE 2 times now

    and I still am diggin rusty nails. Drat This is what I dug yesterday with the SE and last 3 outings with The Xterra. http://www.findmall.com/file.php?13,file=164548 Many of the Tones are similar to what the Xterra 705 has. I think that will make that part of the learning curve a bit easier...

    Last several outings - 21 wheats and a Concord

    Well, I went out today with the 705 and got clad and nothing else. I thought I would hit some deeper targets, but every place in this bario is trash city. I ran the new SE yesterday, and thought I would give my wrist a rest today. That machine has the worst handle geometry, I am going fix that...

    Guatemala

    I will be going to Guatemala mid July for 10 days to work with a mission group my church supports. We will (most likely) be working with a portable medical clinic, moving town to town setting up and tearing down for the docs and dentists. We will also help to provide education assitance in...

    Got the Newish machine today

    Deal worked out. Guy was super nice, I had gotten his number late last summer and talked to him then, I asked if it would be ok if I hung onto his # just in case. When I called him yesterday, he said he had finally sold it on Ebay but the other buyer never came through with the bucks. That...

    Wet ground

    Ok here is the thing, I have been getting real poor ID and Depth lately. I am not doing anything different at all. In my back yard, I had to dig a one way tone to get a penny at 2 inches. Nothing else there, no nails, nothing. Penny was tilted a bit but not verticle. I have noticed that I...

    New Explorer SE (to me) tomorow

    I Hope the deal goes thru. I also hope it performes as I believe it will. Should compliment my Xterra nicely. If not, I am not buying new but used and the price should let the machine hold value. Jeff

    New SE (to me) tomorow

    Cruddy Sounding Pennies and Hunt

    I got a hit that was 36 - 38 - 40 one way, sound good, iffy coming back with an occasional nice tone and iron grunt 90 degrees to that. So I dug (wouldn't you?). It was a 30s Wheat on edge with no adjacent targets. I was kind of suprised that it was not a bent nail and in fact sounded worse...

    Nicotine revisited

    Well I have not revisited the substance just the topic. Just thought I would post an update. It has been since April 6 and I have only had the one dip on the following Friday. None since, that is 5 weeks pretty darn good. Thanks God Jeff

    Todays hunt and 18" hole with stuff in it

    So on the way back to the truck (and I use that term loosely took me another hour to get back to the truck), I hit a good signal and out pops a token. This was my first good signal, I mean target, in about a 1 hour hunt. 10 feet later the Imperial Union thingy pops out. Then nothing for 100...

    Last 3 outings 2nd barber ever

    OK so my ankle is starting to feel better and I got out today. I got my 2nd barber to date, and it ties for my oldest coin at 1898. The Rosie is from the day I ruptured the tendons in my ankle. That is how that coin came out of the ground, and a little dish soap but no polishing. The car is...
