It seems that the soil just eats these coins up, that is the ones that survive the power mower. The junk was accurately ID prior to digging them up. I just needed see this stuff to believe a little more in the detector's ability.


I got my Minelab Explorer SE Pro assembled it and spent about two hours in my my test garden experimenting with the coins I have buried at five inches. The next day I took the detector back to a park where I had used a Garrett AT Pro, Whites Spectrum XLT and a Garrett GTI 2500.

My expectation is that I would find very little if anything. I had process a strip of land about 25 yards by 6 feet wide. I had gone over this plot enough times to anticipate where I would find the iron and other objects that had been identified by the different detectors such as pull tabs or junk. The strip of land is in a park that was developed in 1905. Yes, this park has been hunted for years.

To my surprise I was only able to process about 12 yards, by 6 or so feet of my original target, because with the Explore there were so many new targets. It was like processing a new crime scene, as I had to slow down and examine each target. Yes slow down.

The Minelab provide more or information for me to understand and process. If one takes the time to look at the data, a pretty good

Great job for a first time out...very nice finds!

When you said you only dug targets that "were to the left side of the smartfind screen." Did you mean the right side?

[size=large]perhaps you would be so kind as to P.M. me a copy of bryce's settings. i've read somewhere there is a mistake on the ones in Andy's book. i've gone over the same areas with my XLT, AT Pro, MXT Pro and my Minelab SE Pro. and the AT Pro has found the most lately but i've always felt there has to be deeper stuff in this park.
if i can win bryce's contest then i can show my detectors the coin and they would know what to look for.

You could not have asked for a better first time out .. It sounds like there is more to find there ... you better go back soon .

Widebody ... I've never heard about any mistakes in Andy's book regarding those settings. Anyone care to chime-in ? They have worked just fine for me up to this point.

This is the post with the settings. Bryce generously passed this information to me. Again, I was really surprised at locating so many new targets. The areas I thought were ot trashy, look trashy to the ML.
