The month of October was "Ed Like" for me also. I have my favorite park, my go to park that has produced hundreds of silver coins over the years. People who work there ask me why I keep coming there. Partially, it is an absolutely beautiful place and I find enough to make it worth my while.
The month started out with a V nickel and Barber dime. Two days later, two Indians from the same area. This place is huge and I divide it into five areas. I might hunt the same area two or three times in a row. As I moved around to different areas, I kept finding silver almost every time. My totals for the month were 2 V's, 5 Buffaloes, 4 silver war nickels, 1 Barber dime, 12 mercs, 4 roosies, and an astounding 108 wheats.
This park dates from the early 1900's so that is why most of the older coins I find are from the late 1800's or early 1900's. It is my belief that I function better in the near perfect fall weather(50-60 degrees with no humidity) For the record, I detected this park 16 time in October.
The SE Pro I have is in near pristine condition and I keep almost the entire detector wrapped with a soft friction type tape. I have had to replace the re-chargeable battery, but other than that, it is bulletproof. While not my first SE, I have used this model detector for into the 1000's of hours over the years. I have settled on settings that I hardly ever change so what and how I hear targets is almost always identical. I dig many nickel signals and while I sometimes get bogged down with some trash, I find loads of them. I am not wealthy enough to have more than two detectors and I have debated selling the SE and getting a Nox 800. I had a Nox 600 last year and really liked it and had some success with it in the couple of months I had it. I only sold it from an ergonomic trait of it. The angle of the handle is to straight up and down and killed my wrist. I have had numerous operations on my wrist as the result of a motorcycle wreck(compound fracture with both forearm bones sticking out. The outside bone is permanently dislocated) I would have to fight through some discomfort if I bought an 800. I had to give up on an Etrac because of it's handle angle.
I have seen some SE Pro's selling in the 450.00 range which is the bargain of all bargains for a serious coin hunter. People like Ed will probably get more people reaching for their SE's that were relegated to "backup duty"
