My first silver with my Explorer SE Pro!!

Ok guys I went to a old fair ground that also had baseball fields and I am guessing that it was first use around the turn of the last century from the coins I have found in the past. This placed has been pounded over the years by other md'ers and me. I decide to take my Explorer into a section were there are many junk item to see how good this machine is. On my first pass though this area I got an silver warble sound just like I have heard on the videos, but it was some what broken up. I was able to get the silver sound from each angle I tried with the crosshair staying in the top right corner in the smartfind screen, so I decide to dig. When I open up the I saw an beaver tail from a pulltab in the hole and I was thinking that this could not be making the silver sound, So I took the beaver tail out and ran the coil over the hole again and the silver signal was still in the hole. At 8 inches a pull out an 1944 Merc. After that I was thinking man this is a great machine to find a merc with a pulltab above it. I don't think my Quattro would have found that coin. HH

Nice save ! And congrats on your first silver ... that is just the beginning !! :clap:
 
Can't tell you how many times an "iffy" signal has yielded a
nice silver very close to some iron or a pull tab. Congrats on
the Merc dime.... Gold Nuggets :wiggle:
 
You have a great machine john. Good job.
 
Thanks guys I have to admit I like the tones better on the Explorer then the Quatto and it make it easier to find coins in the junk. The place I detected yesterday has given up a few silvers halves in the past and I am hoping I can find one mix in with the junk. That area where I found the merc has a high concentration of iron and nails with the high concentration of pulltabs and other junk items. It has been a while since I found a half and maybe I could find that elusive silver dollar. I am looking forward to using it in others places that I could not hunt before because of the iron junk.

Thanks Steve. The past couple of days I went back to that old school where I first took my Explorer. There are actually two schools there one is a old elementry school the other was an old high school that had an old football field behind it. I have pulled many silver coins from there including three silver halves and countless wheat cents. A few years ago they the added on to the elementry school and took the upper part of the football field and they dug up the rest football and spread the dirt around and made it into a soccer field with a walking track. .When they did that they brought up some older coins to the surface and some of the newer clad coins are deep. I hit the soccer field looking for shallow ring signals and coin signals and was I pleasantly surprised to find 3 more wheats there and a small coin spill. I was also able to find my first nickle which is important to me. I am going back to the old fairground this week and see if I can pull a few silvers up.

Sounds like you are doing great with your new machine -- really "clicking" with it. Great to hear!

Good luck at the fairgrounds, and congrats on the nickel. If you are digging low conductors already, as well as high ones, you are doing a great job learning the "language" of the Explorer.

Congrats!

Hi John, this must be the silver you told me about in the PM, your first with the SE. You didn't tell me it was below a beaver tail, though; that makes it an even better fine. Glad to know your doing well with your new machine.

Thanks Don. So far that is the only silver coin I found with my Explorer, but I found a bunch of wheat cents and I am still learning. It has been hot and dry here lately so I am limited to were I can hunt. This fall I be hitting an old farm house that I believe was built around 1830 or so, but people have been living at that location for over 240 years. I am pretty excited about that. Don have you been out md'ing? HH

John, I am sure this old farm house property holds a lot of treasures to be uncovered, especially if it has never be hunted before. I am sure there are lots of roofing nails in close proximity to the house too :) but the advantages will be worth the hunt; wish I could go with you. I have been md
