    Programing the Explorer - My take on settings.

    Let me start with another machine. My first machine was a top of the line... (will not mention the name). My guess is that a lot of you guys who are so concerned about settings and programing owned one of these too. I use to go to forums for that machine and 95% of the topics were how to tune up...

    Last couple nights finds...

    I am getting spoiled finding three seated coins in the last four trips! Check out that nice Quarter!!! The IHs look better than they scanned for some reason. One of the IH is an 1882 that maybe had a plugged die on the date, you can barely see the date but the rest of the coin is not that worn...

    Super Day!

    I had a slow morning with only the cool spear point and two thimbles coming out of the fields. Decided to drive to a gas station for refreshments, passed an old house that always looked abandoned but today there was a guy working there. He said sure go ahead, we had a gentleman go over it not...

    Old park keeps giving up goodies...

    I spent about five hours detecting a privately owned park/campground again. Found a small coin spill - buff, merc and two wheats (too bad I gouged the merc!). The seated dime was a pleasant surprise. It was down about 7-8 inches but gave a nice tiny high tone both ways (using the Sun Ray Stealth...

    Fields yield a couple coins...

    And relics. Not sure what the thing with the ship is. It is very thin metal with no markings (any ideas?). The token is an "Our Army" and a flying eagle cent showed up too! Also dug a few buttons and buckles. It was an old residence that is long gone, patato field now. I thought they outlawed...

    A couple good days detecting...

    Boy was I tired after yesterdays hunt! Took the day off and my buddy Dan came down and helped me clean up a private owned park/campground. Dan ended up with seven silver coins I think 7 mercs. and a rosy! I found the stuff in the first picture pluse 23 wheat backs 1914 was the oldest! I think...

    Don't forget to check back on those turned down spots...

    I heard at work that a spot was sold and going to be developed. Called and gained permission to detect. The woman also said that a guy had detected about two years ago. Has it been that long since the old owners turned me down? Guess so. Anyway for a four hour hunt it was great. First coin was...

    Two Indian Heads...

    Had to really hunt for a place to hunt. Ended up at an old town hall that is very well hunted. It was a beautiful day and I managed to pull two IH. HH to all - Robin

    What I would really like in a new Explorer...

    The machine that would really get me excited would be a lightweight, no-display, underwater version of the Explorer. All it would need, for me, is a pinpoint button, iron mask, volume and sensitivity adjustments. Interchangable coils would be nice too. If the unit was lightweight it would...

    One keeper...

    It was my day to be turned down. Ended up at a park that is pretty clean but after a few hours of clad plus two wheats this seated dime rang in. It was only down about three inches and I am pretty sure was passed up as clad or another bullet(I dug three large bullets right next to it). Made my...

    A quick after work hunt...

    I felt like I was back in time... hunting a school site that was not so pounded. I gained permission and found an Indian Head cent on the third pass through a small area. On the next pass 1838 large cent! Then I found about 5 wheat cents a buff and another large cent 1819! Probably the most...

    A good day detecting...

    I managed to find Gold, Silver and Bronze! Some really nice folks gave me permission to hunt their yard. When I found the gold band (marked CKC14K) I had a little mental debate over showing the owners but quickly decided that if it was a keepsake for someone it would be much more valuable to...

    A fun time detecting...

    I gained permission to hunt a little old lady's farm house yard on the 4th. It was also her birthday and her son was visiting. Super nice folks. She even said that there are stories of burried treasure in the back yard (which I did not look for, yet). Here are the finds from about four hours...

    New detecting ride...

    I sold the old '53 Army Jeep, which I rarely dorve, and bought me a new fun car for a daily driver. I am really liking the Mini Cooper. The rear seats fold down. I bought a huge plastic bag to put my detectors and digging things into. Keeps the car nice and clean. The poor old Honda is sitting...

    Half a day hunt produces...

    I had until noon to get out so I went back to a private res. that was a school house way back when. Ended up with three IH, a Barber dime and a foreign coin plus wheats. The lady owner took the foreign coin and an IH. Great fun to get out and find old stuff again. <img...

    One nice day!

    Man, I had to take off my coat and hunt in a tee shirt! Hard to believe I was ice fishing last weekend. I managed to get in a couple fields and found the two Canadian Tokens 1841? and 1850 too bad the fertilizer got to them. The 1850 seems to have a die crack across the face, it is not a...

    My finds from Sunday...

    I managed to pull a few coins out of the bean field Neal and I hunted. The LC is 1838. A funny thing happened when I got them home. I was looking at the 1861 fat IH and on the back is a perfect 1/4 coin discoloration where another coin had laid at one time. I was thinking, man I should have...

    Part of my screen is gone...

    I use my Explorer XS as a backup and for friends that I take detecting. It has been in the back room for six months (dry no extreme temps). When I turned it on to make sure everything worked ok about the top quarter of the screen is blank (or very very light). After I had it on for a while some...

    They called me Luck Sucker...

    Could I help it that all of the coins happened to be in the rows that I was hunting? I even gave way and hunted off to the side so that Steve and Neal had plenty of room. Had a great day hunting with two supper guys! Too bad they couldn't pull thier weight in the coin department. They did dig...
