First silver with my SE.:clapping:

Well, it wasn't that great of a hunt for my buddy Lee and I Sunday, but at least I got two silver coins under my belt with my SE. Right off the bat I got a wheatie and then a 58 rosie. Got a couple more wheaties and then we broke for lunch break. I put on my heavy weight SEF 10x12 coil and got a 1910 Canadian dime. She was pretty worn on the front side and probably been slid over a few coffee shop counters. Got two more wheaties and a cool James E Pepper token. It had a hole drilled in it and I wasn't quite sure what it was. Did some research and it was a token that was wired onto bottles of James Peppers whiskey bottles and that was what the hole was for. Guess this company was in business making whiskey in Kentucky from 1780 till 1916 and then it was bought out by another company. I'm thinking this token is at least dated back to 1916. She was really black when I dug it up and I have it soaking in olive oil now and will try and clean it a bit more and post a picture later. Not sure that I really learned much using my SE as the targets were few and far between and I was pretty much digging everything. About the only sounds that I was pretty sure on was the wheaties and the silver. A good six plus more hours on my SE and lots much more to learn for sure. I think this park we went to is pretty well cleaned out by now and would be surprised if the seasoned detectorists out there could find much more, but then again who knows for sure. My buddy Lee got five or six wheaties so it wasn't a total loss for him either. As always, we had a good time and nothing better then finding a few old coins and detecting with a good friend. Thanks for looking and HH.

learn the gibberish that only the SE speaks:cool:...you're gonna' find a few more:thumbup:

Sounds like you are learnin' just fine my friend:beers:
 
I don't think olive oil is going to help this token very much so I went ahead and took a couple of pictiures of it. I also got a couple of pictures of the same token that I found on the internet so you will have a better idea of what it looks like. HH.

Thanks Bryce. Does Minelab have a school for SE gibberish?:clapping: I know, it's just going to take some time to before I'm joined at the hip with my SE.

Congrats Eddie, :thumbup: It took me a few months to be able to block out the chatter and focus on listening for the squeakers. Once you've figured out what to listen for the SE will take you for quite a ride.
 
Glad you found some silver!! Hopefully you can hunt year round there and by spring you will be a pro!!
 
WTG Eddie:thumbup:
I love mine so far.Once you get used to the chirping or "gibberish" like Bryce likes to call it...you will be a happy camper.
 
Thanks Aaron. Glad to hear that you are feeling more comfortable with your SE. Hope to be in the same boat as you with a few more hours on mine. HH.
