Thanks to BuckeyeBrad's advice, I toned down the sensitivity on my SE Pro, as I've been fighting the falsing from deep rusty nails lately while trying to find the deep, harder-to-ID coins hiding in my local hunted-out parks.
This tip worked out real well, as in only 60 minutes of hunting I pulled out 3 keepers (the most keepers ever for me from this particular park in one day). The keepers were a 1940-D wheat, a 1942-D wheat, and my first silver EVER from this hard-hammered park (despite it being 120 years old) -- a 1944-D Merc. Along with being my first silver from this particularly-difficult park in probably a dozen and a half hunts, this coin also marked a personal milestone for me -- my 40th silver coin for the year.
I owe a great deal of gratitude to Minelab, for producing machines that do such a good job at sniffing out silver, and also to both my hunting partners, and to the many folks on this forum who have given such a tremendous amount of priceless advice to me while learning this machine. Thanks to everyone who has helped me directly -- in person, on the phone, and in posts/PMs specifically to me, and thanks also to all the countless others whose posts not directly intended for me have nonetheless given me numerous tidbits and nuggets of great info which I continue to employ on a regular basis.
Thanks all! This hobby is much more personally rewarding and enjoyable for me as a result of your help!
