New-To-Me SE First Day Silver

[Old Longhair]

I bought TURNMASTER's SE that was inthe forum classifieds. It arrived yesterday with about enough time to put it together, put the battery on charge, whip 8 AA's in the holder, and test it, before going to the club open house. So today I got a couple short hunts in to see how big a leap it would be from my XT705. Turns out it's not that dramaticlly different. Managed 10 clad quarters, 13 clad dimes, 15 copper mems, a '46 wheat, and a bent up silver bangle bracelet. All from a couple small parks that have been pounded for years. Not too shabby for a first outing.

I'm gonna like this machine.

Nice first hunt! Using the X-Terra must have prepared you for this unit, because that's quite a good hunt for a first-time user!

Thanks Steve.

I hunt with the 705 in All Metal w/28 tones, and I think that that is what is making the transition easier. Still not easy. The SE is quite different in that it provides much different information, and has different adjustable features. I actually think that the two machines will complement each other pretty well.

Congrats on some serious coinage. Nice Bangle

Yes they do compliment each other. Glad you are already liking it.

Just got a 5" Excelerator in the mail today. So I'm going to go play in the trash.
