Hey guys!
Just a little heads up to y'all and the guys who know me down south in sunny St George, and wanted to know how I am doing with the new E I'm running.
I have been using it for about four weeks now and have decided to start sleeping with it. It is everything I thought it would be except for one thing. It hits solid in tough conditions, it does hit deep sneaky coins & targets, and pinpointing is WAY WAY better then the Explorer II we were using. I have been surprised at the depths I am getting and went to that old park we hit a few years ago and am digging everything 6 inches or better and finding lots of old goodies by ignoring the shallow stuff. This is very easy to do with this machine and I am having a ball there.
I've found 4 silver dimes (thought we got em all didn't ya?), 24 Wheaties, some tax tokens, 4 nickles and two good trade tokens. Also, 4 silver rings to boot! (next time we meet up ill show ya) I am not nearly done and will spend more time there as is comes. It is very accurate on the depth meter and I think it is way easy to manipulate the machine after being used to the Ex II. I was completely shocked that I am still finding silver dimes there as you probably are to...two were down 8 inches and one was down at the 10 mark on the machine before I dug it...It had to be wiggled up and still I was not quite sure but the number 45 hit enough that I just had to check it. The sound is what I am mostly tuned to (though barley coming in on the 10 deep) and the number on the deep ones jumps a bit but If I get several swings with the same basic ID cross hair area, I will dig it and most the time I have been surprised. I've been juggaling the settings a bit to dial in my likes and what works.
The only thing I am not sure I like yet is that the older S graph separated the dimes and pennies more noticeably and the new graph puts them very close to each other. Lots of coins land on the 12 line and I think It would be wise to stretch that line out (USA only machine) but sound is still king. The targets at the 5 inch depth n up ID very accurately on the X,Y. But I would love to see a more noticeably different location separation between some coins. I am totally happy with the machine and doubt I will be using the back up (probably sell) I ha vent heard from ya since March so I just throw this out and wait to see when you guys read up. Hope this helps others interested as well.
Just given ya all a whats up in short as I can forum ease.
good luck,
