Well, that's been suggested before, just like all the other suggestions that I <u>have</u> incorporated into my trips out. That one I have not done yet.
Why is it not possible that just maybe there is the remote, ever-so-slim chance that I could be hunting in an area where there aren't any old targets to be found anymore?
Why can't anyone mouth those words in a comment? Why does it always have to be an operator problem?
I'm not saying that the "beloved" XS is a piece of junk, I'm just saying that by itself, --it can not make Silver magically appear where there is none.

If there ever was any silver there,there still is!You can not find it all,not even with the Explorer,but close.You never did go back over an area in the 70's and 80's that you and other detectorists had hunted to death and find stuff that was missed before?I can hunt an area and BiLL can go right back over it a slightly different angle and find stuff I miss,and vice versa.You can not find it all,period.If there were coins there then,there are coins there now.

I think John said it all. I'll defer comment to his post.

...there are lots of spots just like it, within a few hours drive. They would make excellent <i>educational</i> spots for you.

Rosario does have a point ...
We haven't discussed specifics but under certain conditions, such as, shallow soil on top of harder ground (or rocks) or if a site has low mineralization and little trash it is certainly possible that "MOST" (there is always an exception) good targets have been removed.
Some of the older detectors, such as the TR's or the "whipping" VLF's, in the hands of a good operator were pretty deadly under these conditions.
So, while I never thought I'd say this 8^P, we should be thankful for the highly mineralized, heavily trashed areas we hunt in as these have no doubt helped some of the "oldies" remain unfound for us today.
And as John said it's up to each of us to decide how many hours of searching is worth what type of finds. For myself, "any" finds are a bonus as just getting out in the fresh air and away from the computer & TV is more than enough reward. I'm not sure I'd have be so easily satisfied when I was younger though 8^).

you may be hunting an area that has had everything taken out of it by other detector users and it might be true that you cannot find anymore because ther is just nothing more to be found.
BUT!!, what if you are using the Explorer XS with a combo of different techniques that you have learned and those other important acessories such as the different coil sizes. Using the smaller and larger coils form the stock size alone has produced ANOTHER result in the hands of the experienced user.
So ultimately you MAY be able to "squeeze" more good finds from this site.
This is of course possible when you can truly use the Explorer XS to it's optimum using your abilities learned from say reading here in this forum and actually out in the field. This also depends on your perception and understanding.
Just be prepared for the surprise of what you will experience when you finally realize that you have mastered the Explorer XS. You will know this when it happens. I beleive you will look back and understand that learning to use the Explorer properly was in it self and "adventure".
This is until ANOTHER metal detector comes out that is as EVIDENETLY better , not equal to of course, than the Explorer XS.
By going out and teaming up with someone else who has an Explorer XS, you can help each other to determine and ensure that at-least your detector is functioning properly. You can also bounce a lot of ideas off each other and even make a good friend out of them , if they are already not. You know
