    head phones hurt my ears after the first 6 hours or so

    I've got some Sun Ray Pro Gold headphones and after swinging my SE for 5-6 hours, the weight isn't bothering me, getting up and down and digging a couple hundred holes doesn't tire me but my head phone cuffs (the part that goes around your ears) the ear muff part, scrunches up my ear almost like...

    One thing I am noticing in these posts are slight variations in the responses from SE and older Explorer owners

    Obviously, there are improvements and changes to the new SE and allot of posts are blending three different answers from three different machines. Then everyone says "that's just the way it goes different settings work for different people in different areas, soils, and mineralization". I...

    Hey Mine lab, Read This::starwars:

    Add a lock on button or trigger that when you display both an undesirable target such as iron or trash and also another wanted signal such as a silver coin or a gold ring close together in smart find that when you hit this lock on button/trigger while the cross hairs are over the more desired...

    My accidental results from fast and deep combined:

    Went to a park today and my SE called pull tabs silver about 12 times in a row while I'm cutting through frozen ground to get these.:ranting: So I'm looking at my X-1 probe thinking it's still switched on, When I tried to pinpoint with it it wouldn't and I'm for the first time thinking this SE...

    If you hunt in iron mask wide open then what would be the purpose of a thresh hold?

    I finally got my brain used to doing it, iron mask wide open, and I realized now my threshold doesn't really have a purpose anymore because they're are no nulls anymore. If that is the case, couldn't you turn it down to nothing and really start hearing the faint faint ones??? The weather turned...

    Worst day yet

    It rained here all day two days ago and then the temp dropped to 15 degrees for two straight days and nights. 32 degrees yesterday, went out to hunt. Ground was frozen to 4 inches deep, the freeze completely air entrenched the soil so I was lucky if my SE could get 4 or 5 inches in depth, I...

    Results from my 5 inch Sun ray coil

    First of all you are instantly going to notice a lack of depth compared to larger coils, I noticed that immediately, compared to my Sun ray 8 inch of about 2 inches less depth. Because of this, I almost took it off and put back on the 8 but I didn't. There was one area of this lot that was a...

    Anyone have a recommendation for a coin microscope?

    I wanted to buy a low power illuminated coin microscope, if anyone has ever used one and liked or didn't like theirs, let me know. Just trying to weed through the two dozen or so vendors and find a good inexpensive one. thanks

    Travel advice: next week I am driving south from Iowa to Texas

    cause it's bloody cold here, and I was hoping for some recommendations for any good old inland sites and a good beach to hunt while I'm there. Any suggestions? Or if some one wants to get together and hunt:twodetecting:, let me know. Thanks guys.

    Found an 1853 large cent today Au50 ....However

    it has a small nail hole in the center but the rest of it is perfect, the red book lists it at 110 dollars. Does anyone know how much a nail hole murders the value of the coin??? Does it take it down a grade??? or seven grades like to kindergarten?? At least I didn't scratch it. Hey I also had...

    One major difference on the SE and XII is pinpointing.

    I went out with a guy with an XII and I had my SE, we both had Sun Ray X1 probes. In pinpoint my tone gets louder and higher pitched as I near a target with my SE or probe, the XS doesn't, His exact words "I gotta get me one of them" It really helps you locate the distance from your target, in...

    Found a 1984 "Double Ear" penny today, Now how do I get it clean?:shrug:

    It's got junk sticking to it and I'm afraid if I clean it, it will pit. Shame, in good shape it's worth 200 bucks,any suggestions??:shrug:

    Important message to all who dig in the dirt:stretcher:

    I do excavation work and about three years ago I got tetanus. I hadn't had a booster shot in over 20 years, duh, point is; in that year, of the four people who caught tetanus in the U S, I was the only person to survive! You have to have current tetanus shots and boosters if you are going to be...

    Anyone in my neck of the woods? Ames, Iowa to hunt:twodetecting:

    Would love to hunt with somebody who knows how to use his explorer or would like to learn together, I got my SE two weeks ago and I'm still making heads and tails of it, well mostly tails, however I have found some cool ghost towns and such. Now I just need to figure out how to use it correctly...

    SE recovery from blanking?

    My Se I've had now two weeks. At first, I was lost and then I went and got almost every coin I could possibly dig up from Indian heads all the way up to a Susan b Anthony. I taught my SE these coins with a medium cursor, taught it all the pull tabs, bottle caps with a small cursor. Even went...
