Howdy folks,
I've been checking out this forum for the past three weeks or so, poking my head in once in a while and asking questions. So I figured that I should introduce myself proper. I'm a proud father of four children, three of which are triplets,( ie.. triplehooked), two horses, two doggies, and have been an avid detectorist for the past three years or so. Ohh yeah, I have a wife, too!!
I shocked myself recently when I openly admitted to a bowhuntin' buddy that I like detecting more than bow huntin'! "Gasp!" Anyways, I was dead set on a White's V3i for my next purchase (hope it's ok to say that) up until a month ago when a few fellas on the forum put the Explorer SE bug in my ear.... 
Well they must know me too well as within a week of solid reading and re-reading posts (thanks Bryce) about this machine, I've made a flip-flop on my choice of detector. That's saying a lot since I've owned and four White's machines!! I got with a sponsor here and he gave me an excellent deal on a new SE. Considering that winter decided to finally show up here in West Mich. It will probably be a bit before I can get out and hunt, but at least I can look forward to reading Andy's book, and by the time the weather breaks I should be a pro, right?! Isn't that how it works? 
Anyways, it looks like a great group of folks here and I look forward to driving most of you nuts with technical questions....like where's the on button, and why doesn't this machine have a trigger....

j/k I've kind of prewired myself to try and remember to cut my swing speed down. The hardest part for me will be to stay with factory settings for any length of time! I had my XLT for about ....well less than a week before I started a custom program. 
I'll be wanting to load Bryce's program at about day two and start looking for those seated quarters....lol.
) and an 1884 Indian. My goal is to beat my current total of silver and oldest Indian in one season with the Explorer. I may be optimistic, but I think it can be done. Thanks again!
