Just got an SE Pro!

[Pyledriver]

Got a screamin deal on a like new SE Pro so I figured, sure, why not? Well now I wonder why I didn't buy one a long time ago. Only one hunt on a pounded freshwater beach, all targets coming from 8-12". The Propointer wasn't long enough to go from bottom to top of most holes! Wow!

 

[IDXMonster]

What did ya find? Glad you like it so far!

 

[Pyledriver]

Just some clad. Several quarters, dimes, pennies and a few pulltabs. The beaches were amazingly clean where we went! Not at all normal! I think those deep targets were with the other people couldn't find though.

 

[IDXMonster]

Yes,could be....wait til you drive that sucker around inland! Digging 10" in the dirt is a bit harder than in sand,you may know this...

Buy a bigger digger comes to mind......Explorers aren't for everyone but those that do like Excel on deep silver.....

 

[Pyledriver]

Yes, I actually have several bigger shovels. I just got used to carrying a little Sampson. Light and small is good in the woods but not so much for depth. I also carry an e-tool with me in the woods because I'm more a cache hunter than anything else. I may have to get into the silver game, I know the machine is well suited for that! I've just never hunted parks and only a very few demo lots. My adventures have always been centered around gold! I'm sure this Explorer will excel in that role as well!

 

[IDXMonster]

Though the Explorer isn't designed SPECIFICALLY for gold,it will surely find it. The machines built for nuggets and flakes are in their own class. You'll do fine on a lot of jewelry items,if they're there in the first place.....

 

[Pyledriver]

Oh I didn't mean nuggets, I do have a Minelab pulse machine for those. I was referring to jewelry mostly, but gold coins would be nice! I've been working a few leads over the years that if lucky, will result in just that. Mainly I've always been interested in finding the stereotypical 'treasure', and I have several tools for doing that. Honestly the Explorer came along at the right time because I was considering a CTX but didn't want to spend the money. The explorer is my intro to the FBS world. Now I just have to come up with a watertight case for kayak rides...

[Pyledriver]

I'll keep y'all posted! I have a few spots to hit and am anxious to see what it will do!
