I used my outdated SE to find these!!

[Ron (CA)]

These came last week from a local park in Sac. Us Explorer users are still finding stuff!!

Hi Eddie, I have found two silver dimes cut in half - once I found the other half and once I didn't. You probably saw the dime I found recently that was cut into thirds where I finally found all three pieces! Some are quick to point out that lawnmowers do this. I don't believe it - the cuts are too clean and all the "half dimes" I've found seem to be cut pretty close to the center. I've found pennies and clad that has been obviously hit by a lawnmower blade and it's always bent up pretty badly, but never cut in half. I think it's just people messing around with tin snips or similar - "hey look at this - you can even cut a dime in half!" What do you guys think?

I do remember that dime that you posted that was in three pieces. I found a silver quarter a couple of years ago that was cut in half and did manage to find both halves. Not sure how these coins get cut like that. It would take a pretty sharp lawnmower blade to cut coins like that. HH.

Of course the give-away is if you examine the cut marks and you see that it's cut from both sides of the coin - I'm not sure that a lawnmower blade can do that. I don't believe the lawnmower theory for these cut silver coins. I think it's people messing around.

Nice finds Ron. That cut dime is pretty cool. Looks like you are doing well with silver finds buddy

Shoot me a message and we can hook up. I have given many users a tip or two on the Explorer over the years.

Was the Club President for 6 years until I moved away. Just moved back in July.

I guess our Explorers do still find silver coins sometimes don't they. I will keep the old worn out thing even though it doesn't find coins at all
What a great machine it is and especially if you get a chance to hunt with people who really know how to make them work.

I remember that post. The other third of the dime was minuscule. Did you pick that up with the SE or the E-TRAC? I thought it was the E-TRAC?

I also have the same results with my Old outdated Explorer XS so don't be down about that bothersome Silver Count. It's just in knowing your detector and not the Newest Features that make any Explorer User make finds like these so don't believe the hype on a New Machine until it proves that it can find Targets that out poor Se and XS can't find. Besides, it can only get better with more use on your Se so remember that. Congrats on them great finds and hope it continues (this type of poor results). Good Luck and HH to you.
