Ron Dugger .... Tinfoil ... about your post :thumbup:

[Mike Bearden]

After reading your post and some of the responses I have to put in my 2 cents worth.
Ron,if this is true and I have no reason to doubt you or Jerry, then I'm OVERJOYED with the news.
Now I don't know about the rest of the folks here but my BIGGEST complaint about Minelabs has always been how they handle disturbed soil.
Every time I removed some dirt from a target and it was not enough to reach the target .... it would simply disappear and I would have to use the X-1 probe to find it. I'm talking good silver/gold targets and not necessarily all that deep, anything over 5-6" for the most part.
I've done a lot of hands on Explorer training over the years for clubs and big detecting events throughout the South. The number 1 question asked by Explorer users was about targets that disappear.
Around here you can dig a target up, toss it back into the same hole, physically SEE it lying there, but the Explorer won't make a peep on it!
Now if it wasn't for the X-1 probe there would have been a hell of a lot of targets left in the ground from Explorer users.
Guess what? That extra weight of the probe may not be needed any longer ! And that's GOOD NEWS ... well except to Sun Ray that is.
Bottom line, when I can afford to put my hands on a SE, then and only then will I know how it does .. but it sure sounds like Minelab did something worthwhile here. Thanks for sharing this info.

I guess at different times I have been all 3 categories. Boy that last one is tough.

And I thought that the high pitched tone was the detector.

Before I get to OLD to climb these hillsides and fall and can't get up
Hey ... I tell ya what, maybe we should meet in between somewhere and hit a site neither of us have hunted before, that might be fun.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...



First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.



Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.



Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.



Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.



Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.



Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.



Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.



Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.



Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.



Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf



And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
