    Haven't posted any finds for quite some time so it's about time.

    It's not that I haven't been out hunting I guess I just get lazy and prefer to read and look what others are hunting and to follow a few of the other guy's here on the forum. After having our out of town hunt this past Sept. and watching Eddie and his Pro Loop wreck havoc on us I took the hint...

    Club Hunt Sunday, " The Good The Bad and The Ugly "

    As Eddie said it was a great day for a club hunt and the weather was fantastic and the water extremely warm. 3 of us went water hunting and the rest hunted on land.I think all us us had a great day and I sure did. Any day you find gold and silver on land or by water is a great day and it was for...

    This is the water portion of the trip due to the hot weather

    Sorry I must admit I do not own a Minelab water machine but the one I have works wonders for me next to any other machine. With the land finds and the water finds it has been a great trip for me.

    I'll stick to my current supply of 2 Explorers and not worry about the SE.

    I think it is about time for a couple of pictures, not that I have that much to show but I'm satisfied with the contents. First batch is land hunting from my last motor home trip to a family reunion. Weather was in the mid 90's and ground hard as nails. Only thing I didn't show were the wheats...

    Pales in Comparison to others but here's my last post

    We finally got tired of hitting little or next to nothing on land but did find a couple of little goodies, the coins were in a well hit spot by myself over 10 yrs. and the others are from a couple of lake hunts recently. At least it is something to post. 14kt white gold band, 14kt Rose Gold...

    Finally Something to Post, little long but good

    Bottom line is when people who know what they are doing with an Explorer and have been hunting in an area since the XS came out it is difficult to find anything at all. I live in such an area. They say no place is every hunted out but it hasn't produced a good coin in a year. I have the XS and...

    V and a little Gold

    Weather finally cleared of the snow wind and rain today so managed to get to an old beat to death park today. Pulled an 1888 V Nickel, extremely worn and pitted from the wet ground and managed a huge gold earring. Wife won't wear it too large she says and it's only one. Also managed a single...

    Another spot revisited with lower Sensitivity

    Tried another old spot today that we have hit with about every major top detector including the XS. I know I have did everything including actual griding of this area. There still there but are showing up now with lower sensitivity, went down to a straight 17 today and got the following. 189...

    Lower Sensitivity Works

    After reading Mike's theory on sensitivity I decided to go back to an area I hunted 2 weeks ago and found some military buttons to see what if anything I missed. Lo and Behold if I didn't find a lot more targets that I missed. Found 1 whole and a half of an old wheat along with a Roy Rogers and...

    Yesterday's Finds

    Three nice military buttons and one pitted 1876 Indian Head Cent. We have a whole new computer system and are still learning it as you can see by the picture we didn't get the indian in this one. Will try again now that we know what were doing.[attachment 17775 resize11.JPG]

    Good Day for the Platypus Coil

    Finally got out today and worked the new Explorer II along with the new Platypus Coil. Followed along more or less behind my hunting partner with his stock coil on the XS and did fairly well. No silver but managed 3 real nice military buttons and an old 1876 Indian Head Cent along with a few...

    Shouldn't Have But Did

    After returning from So. Cal from Xmas with the kids I spent several days on the Internet researching price's. Finally got a good deal and ended up with a new Explorer 11 along with an X-1 Probe and for good measure bought the Platypus Coil. Looks as if the old Explorer XS will now become the...

    Airplane Baggage VS Carry On Concerns for Explorer

    Haven't flown with my detector since 9-11 and decided to take it on this trip next week. I have a hard case modified for the Explore XS and it fits the detector, stock loop, upper and lower shaft,plus 2 batteries and charger plus car charger and also 2 battery operated probes by Whites. I...

    Explorer XS Upgrade

    Reading all of the post's lately it appears the vast majority of you are using the EX 11. Can anyone tell me the real advantages to up-grading from my XS, which I am extremely comfortable with to the new explorer 11. The only thing I see are the 2 numbers vs. the single. It is very rare I hunt...

    First Post with a Couple of, I think, Neat Finds

    Not sure about this but I'll try according to Bill and the Guvner here goes nothing. The Half is about an EF-40 and found in Eastern Wa. on a recent Aug. trip, the pendant is 14 kt. with 3 diamonds and a dark blue sapphire, nice Xmas Present, found it 2 wks. ago on the Olympic Penninsula. Both...
