Well, after about 6 hours and a little frustration I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this detector. I must admit I've only had it in my backyard which I have pounded with other detectors and multiple coils. Yesterday I got a 1907 IH cent. This is the first IH I've pulled from the yard and it was about 10" down. I've had to order a Lesche T-handle shovel to help me keep up with the depth of this detector. I know my yard holds more old coins. Now I'm sure I've got what it takes to find them. On a separate note I picked up a small container of coins at a yard sale this past weekend- mostly foreign coins not special but there was one 1883 V nickel in OK condition. Thanks for reading. HH. Matt

Officially happy with my Explorer SE

OK. In less than 2 months of owning my Explorer I found my first gold today. It's not big or heavy but it is solid 14K. I was using the SEF 6x8 coil. Ring was found about 4 inches down. Low grunt sound. I have been detecting for about six years and never found solid gold until today. Thanks for looking. GL and HH. Matt

Glad you are getting the hang of it. I've had my SE less than a week and am trying hard to learn it. gl hh
Good luck and happy hunting sledman248. I haven't ventured much out of factory Smartscreen in the 3 or so months I've had my Explorer and have already done really well with this detector. I am also using headphones for the first time in my six years of detecting and have found that the Sun-Ray X-1 in-line pin-pointer is really important to me with this detector. I still use my Garrett PP with it, but now that I'm digging such deep holes I'm finding lots of garbage on the way down to my target. The Garrett PP is good for clearing out the garbage making it easier to PP the intended target. I'm using the SEF 6X8 almost exclusively and thinking of going even smaller. Matt

10 Inches is superb depth , some of the faint signals can be coins at 12 inches deep. I never found one past 10 inches as yet though but I am trying... Doc coins........
