It's been to cold to detect up here in WI so I read almost all the posts on this site about the SE from you experts and also read Andy Sabisch's book. Well the SE light has finally found me. I went down to KY with the wife this past weekend while she was being a soldier, I went out detecting. The snow, ice and frost didn't help but I had a good weekend. I found a 64 quarter, 1917 merc and 6 wheaties. More importantly, the merc and a 1919 wheatie were 7-8 inches. After reading Andy's book and listening to you experts, I finally put some of your suggestions to use and feel twice as competent with the se. Thanks to all you guys who offer tips and opinions on this site. I for one really appreciate your expertise. Thanks again. PJ
