First hunt with 6x8 SEF

[wayne_etc]

Got out of work just before dark but decided to try out the new 6x8 SEF that I had just received from kai_gold. Hit a ballpark first and got a few quarters. Decided to hit an old school-turned-community center that I have seriously pounded over the past several years with every detector I've owned. Have pretty much written it off as the last several hunts have been fruitless.
Only had about 15 minutes of light left, and the first good signal was a sold high tone, top right corner on the Explorer II. About 3 inches deep came the silver Rosie.
This is the first silver coin I've found in a year. Pathetic, I know.

On the way back to the car I'm swinging like a madmad. Amazingly I get another good solid high tone. Just a couple inches down pops this button. I've been told its a WWII era collar insignia. I still can't believe I missed these.

Nice going on the first silver in about a year. Can't believe that you haven't found more silver then that. If the SEF coil is working for you then I'm sure your silver finds will only get better. GL & HH.
