    Axes and hatchets

    I haven't pulled out the SE in a quite a while , but in the last week decided to try finding some old axes and hatchets because I like to refurbish them if they aren't truly valuable antiques. I am wondering if any of you SE users have any tips about the smart find location for targets like...

    dry bone

    Do you guys know how sickening it is to see a city block leveled and scraped and not be able to detect it because it is like concrete? I tried early this morning, before our 45th day in a row of 100 plus temps sets in. I`ve seen some bad ones down here, but this one takes the cake. Pray for...

    Silver # 33 and a railroad smashed penny :)

    Short hunt this morning while still semi cool at a 1923 house. Started on the curb strip and after noise cancel immediately hit a wheat and thought it was going to be good. However, mostly lots of Lincs and clad dimes, finally hit a beat up `42 Merc, number 33 silver since 2-26, one third of the...

    chicken neck button

    Out this morning briefly after a hard rain last night and showers ran me home fairly quickly. Not much to be found, but managed a C. Kenyon Co., New York general service gilt button 1875-1902. Fair amount of gilt remains. This is my second one of these this year. We have been very fortunate...

    Saturday morning hunt

    A beautiful day in Texas today(cooler) and decided to get out and do some hunting. I don`t really have a hot new place to hunt right now so made up my mind to try some manual sensitivity -26. I went to a place i`ve been over 10 times this spring. A smallish front yard of a torn down early 20th...

    weekend finds

    I had a couple of hunts this weekend and the finds were few and far between. I searched an 1870 house that I hit hard back in the 80`s and was sure the Se would pull some stuff out that I missed then. No GO. Only found one keeper and that was what I think is a cameo. Looks fairly old. Back out...

    battery level

    Would like some feedback on the power of the detector at say, half charge. I was going over an 1870 house that i cleaned up on 20 years ago with my old analoge. Was just not getting deep hits on anything. Was incredulous that there wasn`t at least a wheatie i had missed. Of course i did work it...

    Little and BIG silver !

    I ask and got permission to hunt a 19th century house yesterday and after scanning the sidewalk and picking up 6 wheats, I decided to return today and give it a more thorough going over. As is sometimes the case, not a lot of targets clsoe together in the part I hunted today. Finally picked up a...

    Indian Head, V nickel, and wheats

    I decided to get out of the house for a couple hours and do a little experimenting with the SE. I went back to an old house that produced a couple of mercs and some nice old wheats. I picked a half section of the front yard, bordered by the walk up to the house and the side walk, an area no...

    curb strip wheats and silver

    Got out briefly for about a 2 hour hunt this morning along a curb strip I did well on back in the late eighties. The finds include 8 wheats and a 42- s merc I managed to gouge, OUCH ! 3 of the wheats were in a small pocket spill and date `20, `22, and `25. The rest of the wheats were from the...

    Button? Help please

    Hey all, Went back today to the old house that has produced 2 IH and some good silver and old old wheats. I dug every deep signal that sounded half way good and , of course, dug a lot of nails and other assorted junk. But did pull out, what I thought were three interesting pieces, at least...

    a few curio finds

    I wanted to share a few of the oddities that I have pulled out of the ground with the SE over the last 4 or 5 weeks. Some jewelry, including a 10k plated men`s wedding band(first gold I ever found), a ,what I think, is a lead filled copper broach and it`s clasp, found about foot away, a 50 year...

    I didn`t know it was memorial day :)

    Well , some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you. Short hunt this morning and you know it`s not your day when you get a 1961 memorial at 9 inches. LOL Found about 10 mems and one 1965 clad quarter at six inches. Just knew that was going to be silver, but as we all know...

    Another Indian and deep silver:clapping:

    Went back to the scene of the finds yesterday and decided to sweep that 20x20 foot area and really listen and scan those deep signals. It paid off ! Another Indian, 1907, that read at nine inches but was at least 2 inches deeper than that. And about 3 feet away from where i dug that 1890 Indian...

    Pocket spill and an Indian

    Back out today for 2 hours at a tear down site. I was determined to dig a few iffy signals today and one deep one I got, not all that iffy, at about 9 inches turned out to be a penny under a big ole root. I thought it was an old wheatie, but on rinsing it off when I got home turned out to be the...
