Another Hour or So

I know this sound dumb, but I think the Minelab SE Pro's functionality is really understated.

I need to do more research on older less hunted sites, to find older coins. I have not really learned how in detail how the SE Pro works. I am around 10 hours or so into use, and I am, well, pleasantly surprised at just how well the SE Pro finds coins in the default modes. The sounds are full of information. Coins are now obvious from the tones that the make, located during the sweep. The information on the screen confirms what I think I have found by just sounds, even down to about 6 to 9 inches. At this time, I do not know how anyone could miss a quarter booming in at 6 to 9 inches.

What I do not understand is how modern coins end up elbow deep in the soil. These coins do not blank the audio at all, but chirp with an screen indicator to the right of the display. A good deal of the time, I just dig and sort through the tailings with the Garrett Pin Pointer, expecting the target to be out of the hole, only to find I need to dig deeper. Anyone who suggest that they are not finding deep targets with the Minelab SE Pro should stop and evaluate if their machine is working properly, or is it mis-configured or, they are using it in the wrong environment.

There are sites, I can tell there was fill dirt brought in or there are multiply layers of sod. I am finding different ages of coins between the nylon mesh that held the sod together. I can even visualized the high human traffic areas, buy the trails swath of metal trash left behind, after my first few target digs. Using a Minelab has given me a wider, different view of what is under my feet.

GB, I researched some older sites that have been pounded for years by others and still scored some really nice oldies. If you find a site old enough to produce the kind of finds you're after, do it no matter what.
