First time out with my Explorer SE Pro

[Jim D]

The snow has pretty well melted here in Dunkirk, Indiana and about an hour before dark this evening I went to the little old park
to get some time in adjusting to my Explorer.I Just got it in Nov and only tested some coins in my garden with it before
the weather got bad.
I kept everything at factory preset (just like Bruce advised doing for new Explorer users) except the threshold I lowered to 7.
I was going very slow listening for the higher pitched sounds. I found a couple pieces of junk then I found my first coin with it ,a memorial penny.
The pinointing was excellent on it. 5 minutes later right at dark I got another high pitch target that was around 5"deep,expecting a new dime or a penny.
I cleared the goowy wet mud away I saw the silver shine! A 1923 merc, I,ve hunted this park several times over several years ,its
very trashy and has alot of high minerization but this Ex Se Pro was pretty stable. This was my first silver coin out of it and hopfully I.ll be
going back real soon.
Just like to say thanks to all of you knowledgable guys and the post that you make that give me and other newbies the encouragment
to learn our Explorers.

Congratulations on finding your first silver Merc with your Explorer SE. As you
become a lot more familiar with the SEs different tones, you are going to find that
your Exp SE is a silver finding machine!! Continued success.......HH

Nice going on finding the merc. The more you use the SE the better it gets.

Congratulations on a sucessful first hunt. I`m expecting my SE PRO Friday and am anxious to get it ! I plan to hit so many places that the deeper coins eluded me 20 years ago. This will be my frist experience with minelab and I`m hoping the learning curve won`t be too bad. I`m studying all I can about it in the mean time and I`m pumped. I think it`s going to be great. I just got active again using my old master hunter 7 and have done some good, but 20 years has increased the depth at some of my honey holes. Would appreciate any feedback you Se Pro guys can offer.
