My first 1/2 hour:pulltab: out with the SE...

SNOWY

New member
I have just had my first swing of my sleek black beauty; ( Explorer SE.)
I reckon that it has improved stability, it seems to have a more reliable tone ID response, and I love the VCO pinpointing ~ especially with my Sunray X-1 pinpointer.
Also being able to get my threshold down lower than previously possible is a good thing for me.
I'm still getting used to the new "menu browsing," but so far I'm impressed but have only had a brief 1/2 hour of detecting.
I recovered three pulltabs,a brass nut and bolt,an Aussie 1 cent coin, a 3 inch long by 1/2 inch dia piece of lead tubing, plus the best find for the day, an Australian collectable 1950's Streamlux brand lead toy model of a Massey Ferguson 35 tractor.
I was careless, and made contact with the lead tractor while recovering it; { a mistake that I really regret folks...}
I mostly use the smartfind screen so the new larger fonts seen in digital mode have not been an issue to me,I see the lack of icons as less clutter, and I feel that they were some-what vague anyway.
The depth indicator seemed to be more stable as I swung to and fro over targets also compared to my Exp.II.

I really like it...

You'll love the SE SNOWY, It does have an edge especially in the trashy areas.

Love the tractor find, I've never found one of those.

Best wishes,

Hi Snowy,

Nice finds, I'm pleased that your impressed with the new SE, I got a good price for my EX II on Ebay it sold on Saturday for $1226 AUD so it's not much cost to get into an SE which should be here on Wednesday, can't wait to get out swinging again, Keep me posted on your future evaluations of the SE I will do likewise.

All the best....Boony
 
Thanks Old California,
I wasn't expecting a Massey Ferguson tractor to come up !!!
Heh heh,

Hi James,I really don't know what it's value is.
The driver is broken off, and I damaged it digging, also the paint is missing.I guess mine wouldn't have much appeal...
