Hi folks,
With our busy weekend, I was given 1 hour to hunt with my new Explorer today. I knew just where I wanted to go... a yard that over the course of a year has given up over 40 silver coins to my Ace 250. But the last 4 times out I wasn't able to get anything other than nails. I felt I had pulled all of the coins out of the yard that the Ace 250 could see.
For the first half hour I went over an area that was almost completely clean of trash... because I had pulled out most of the nails with my Ace, hoping for a silver coin too deep for the 250 to see. But nothing showed up.
Then I decided to go under the old clothes lines. This is an area infested with square nails and an unlimited supply of those metal springs off wooden clothespins. Occasionally I would try to hunt in there with the Ace and sniper coil, but never could get a good coin signal through all of the iron.
As I slowly scanned, I hit 3 beautiful, clear, isolated high tones in the first 6 feet. Each one was silver.
I am blown away by how this machine can operate so nicely in an area that sent my 250 running for cover.
Hopefully these are the first three of many, many silver treasures coming my way as I start to learn the Explorer SE. I am strictly using the factory coin mode right now until I get some sort of confident understanding of the beautiful tones this machine makes but I am looking forward to taking the training wheels off.
I took tomorrow off to get a real hunt in and I think I'm heading right back up to the old clothes line. :yes:
