Greetings,
A few days ago, I had posted a request for help as to what settings and techniques to use in getting depth in mineralized ground. (3-4" for coins has mostly been my max.) Several of you responded with great, helpful advice, explaining your logic in choosing the settings that you did. The results:
1880 Indian Head penny at 7"!!!!!!
My first 1800's coin
My first Indian Head
My deepest coin ever (by far!)
Hey, maybe I do not have to sell my EX2 on e-bay after all!
Here is the disclaimer: the ground was good and moist, and I was in a small town far out on the plains of CO. Is the ground less mineralized out there than near the mountains where I live? (I was able to run sensitivity at manual 25 and it was pretty stable. I have not been able to do that where I live.)
One final note: It was fascinating to me to see how similar the information was that each of you offered. And the machine setup that you offered was different in many respects from other "model" setups that I have tried. That gave me a lot of confidence that you had thought this through, and understood the logic of what to do to deal the issue.
A heart "Thank you" to all of you!

Keep at those things in the post and you won't be selling your Explorer anytime soon.
