Got out today. If this is winter I like it. :bouncy:

Started out about 10am and it was chilly but, in no time we where shedding clothes as it got to above 50*
This is my kind of winter for sure.
We hit the same place we last hunted our last hunt last year.
Odd time hunting today as interference was an issue. There are no dog fences (underground) but, something was interfering with the Explorer.
I tried every channel and GB to no end and the best I could do was just simply drop the sensitivity down to 18 manual.
Anyhow nothing spectacular but, I did get a bunch of wheats oldest being a 14 and a 60 Silver Rosie.
Regardless it was nice to get out as cabin fever has began to set in.

HH everyone.
PS; I also took my sons Equinox 800 but, neither myself nor my hunting buddy seemed to think it had anything on the Explorer except weight savings.
We both feel and maybe this is because we have hunted with them since the XS came out that the Explorer line just gives a far better idea what’s in the ground.
I might also, mention neither of us have any significant time swinging it. So, take this with a grain of salt.

I learned to smile and say “whatever works best for you” Mike. Because in the end that’s really what counts. If a person CANNOT wrap their head around an Explorer, that’s OK. If they spend the time it takes to understand it, perhaps the outcome would be different. The Explorers truly are an absolute marvel, like them or hate them. And this winter thing? I’m happy with it so far!
Good to see you got out, we need more of the “Mike and Mike Show” to really inspire those guys who are taking that baby step into an Explorer of some kind. It’s ALOT easier to progress with one when the new operator has input and someone to bounce stuff off of. In this day and age with the conditions we have and the depth of some of these remaining coins...if you want ANY action at all, the Explorers can provide that, with some time on them. Once you “get it”....it really is an unbelievable feeling of pure invincibility.

Glad to see you got out Mike. I'm also loving this winter weather. I also got out last week when the weather actually got up in to the 60s last week here in Ohio. Didn't find too much other than some clad and a few wheaties, but it was nice to get out and detecting in January.
