    Another good silver day

    I hit a local park today with Bluewhisper this morning. The day started out slow with only a couple of wheats and one silver. Bluewhisper had to go early but I decided to stay and keep hunting. I'm glad I did as it turned out to be a good day. In addition to 15 wheats, I managed to take home...

    Today's Hunt

    Hit a couple of sites today with two other fellow club members. The first site was a vacant lot in our downtown area - a 1921 map shows that their were eight houses located within this lot. The trash was high plus sometime in the past, someone had asphalted most of this site (most of this...

    Weekend Finds

    I hunted on Saturday for a couple of hours at a site that used to be where the first church in town was located - unfortunately it is 95% paved over but there were a few spots I could hunt. Found one 1929 wheat, a button from a company that was in business from 1889-1916 and a token (possibly a...

    Coil Suggestion

    My wife asked me if I wanted a new coil for my detector for XMAS. As I already have the Sunray 5" and 8", I told her that I didn't think that I need another coil. Of course, then I got to thinking about the SEF coils. Any recommendations? Years ago when I had my DFX, I used the 14"DD coil...

    Why buy Andy's New Book? **Read Me**

    I received Andy's new book earlier this week. I have already read it cover to cover at least four times. And a couple of the chapters at least a dozen times!!! In my opinion it is a must purchase for anyone with an E-Trac as it helped me understand how to make the transition from the SE to...

    Added the E-Trac to my Arsenal

    I haven't posted in any of the forums for awhile (just lurking) but I felt the need to let everyone know that broke down and ordered an E-Trac this week. Although, I have been extremely pleased with the performance of my Explorer SE over the last two years - I kept feeling the need to try the...

    Cracked Headphones

    I recently purchased an Excalibur from one of my hunting partners (I have never detected in water) and sent it in to Minelab to give it a check to make sure it was in good working order. They checked it out (and didn't charge me) but when I received my detector back the headphone's casing was...

    Another Vacant Lot

    I was driving over to the lot that gave up the 1922 penny last weekend when I noticed they were tearing down another house down the block. I figured "why not" give it a try. I hunted with the X-8 coil then went back over with the X-5 coil. Not much silver but I found enough wheats to make a...

    They say lightning never strikes the same place twice!

    Well I guess they are right... but it sure was close. I went to the same lot today that gave up the 1922 penny. I dug five more wheats and my heart skipped a beat when I dug another 1922. Unfortunately, once I cleaned the dirt off, it appears to be a 1922 D (possibly weak D). This lot has...

    Made a Great Find Today

    I went to a vacant lot that was just cleared and scraped clean so a new park could be created. I hunted there earlier in the week after work and found a handful of wheats ranging from 1915 - 1936 plus a few nice relics. Although the it was snowing and the wind was gusting to 40MPH, I couldn't...

    ??Nickels & Gold Rings??

    Since owning my SE, I have noticed that my nickel and gold ring counts have decreased dramatically from when I had my DFX. I know that this is mostly likely because I have been focusing on learning the higher conductive targets and how they respond (fyi: my silver count is much higher than the...

    Today's Park Hunt

    I hunted the oldest park in town today. While my other hunting partners were busy swinging their coils at light-speed, I took my time swinging the X-8 at a slow pace. While I didn't come home with the most, I came home with the best. 1899 Barber Dime 1912 Barber Quarter 1916D Wheat 1922D...

    Cashed in my 2006 Clad

    Took a sack of all my 2006 clad (no pennies) to the bank today. I was suprised at the total of $754.55. Also suprising was that they only kicked out 1 quarter, 3 dimes and 1 nickel because they were too bent to run thru the machine. I had them split the money and add it my two boys savings...

    Holiday Finds

    I went to visit my parents in El Paso for the holidays. I asked my dad to take me to an old city park so I could show him how my detector works. Within a couple of minutes of turning on the detector, I picked up a 1947 Wheat. A couple sweeps later I got a real good silver sound and asked my...

    Another Fast vs Deep Question

    I was reviewing the pictures of my trash finds since purchasing the ESE(yes, I take picture of them as well). I just realized that when I had DEEP turned ON, I usually dug quite a few rusty nails and other iron trash. Conversely, when I had FAST turned ON, I rarely dug a nail or any other...

    I love those downtown vacant lots

    Even though we had 7" of snow on Wednesday, I couldn't help but get out for a little while this morning. I called my hunting buddies and told them to meet me at a vacant lot near the oldest part of town (downtown). They were a little reluctant as it was 18 degrees and these lots are full of...

    ESE - Split Screen

    My ESE did the split screen thing twice today. In the SmartFind screen, half of my screen "dropped" about 1/8" inch while the other half stayed normal. Once I turned it OFF and back ON, the problem went away. I'm assuming this is the same problem that others have posted about. Do I need to...

    Impressions after the first month of owning the ESE

    Impressions: --------------------------------- After a month of ownership, I thought I might provide my personal observations of the Minelab Explorer SE as well as my current settings. First, I guess I should explain that I'm primarily a coinshooter, therefore my viewpoint and settings may be...
