I love my Explorer SE - Large copper this morning

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Went back to the same area of the park where I dug the three indian head cents the other day and came away with a nice 1853 large cent this morning. A very deep hit that bounced around the upper right corner of the smart screen. After not doing well park hunting for 3-4 months with my new XP Deus, I switched back to the Explorer and boy, I'm glad I did. The XP is an excellent relic hunter but with the large coil, I struggle with it in the trashy parks. My 12th large cent out of this old, "hunted out" city park.

This spring I hit some of my hunted out sites with my new Equinox 800. I found some stuff, but probably not more than if I had hit it with my XS again. It did not bring the place seem like virgin territory, like the Explorers did when they first came out. But... I need to put more hours on the Nox. I did find several clad quarters that I missed with the XS, they rang up at 18 on the NOX, way lower than they should. I need to spend more hours and learn its language.

I wonder how many of the current users on the forum have detected with the XS and SE? I still WAY prefer the true 2D id screen and not a single line display, suspect many that were familiar with those machines are ageing out.

Sounds like you are having similar results with the Deus?

Nice coin Ed! The SE is still one of the best for finding DEEP coins.

Congratulations Ed, that is a good looking large cent!
