No Park seems to be hunted out with a Minlab...

[GBalance]

Here are the results of a three hour effort.

The area of searched is not that big, probably a 20 x 20 feet space. It has taken about three hours to sort through the signals. This does not seem to be a detector you can fly through yards of parks with. This was also a 1910 dated park, the build date.


I am setup with the default programming with coins. The sensitivity is set to auto at 26. The Minelab SE Pro, changes everything I thought about metal detecting, in reference to being

NICE JOB on the hunt! I totally agree with you on the "going slow" thing, and how nothing is "hunted out" for a Minelab Explorer. BUT -- three hours for a 20x20 area? Now THAT IS slow! Impressive!

Think you need to recheck the date on the barber. They were not in circulation until 1892. Mike

I will get my goog glasses and look again......on that Barber date.

NIce. I have also slowed my swing down quite a bit. I also bumped my sensitivity up to 32. This has helped me pop out more keepers in trashy areas. I aslo have stopped discounting those little cherps as iron falsing and am spending a little more time on my knees. I pulled a 1962 Roosevelt today from just under 9". It took me a few minutes to work the signal and figure out were to dig my plug. Once the plug was out, I stuck the X-1 in the hole and it was just below the bottom of the hole. Have learned guite a bit just reading post here, thanks to all the seasoned Minelab users.

Hey G....

Nice going with the finds... But... Like Mike said and didn't explain... Barbers began being minted in 1891, and it's the last year the seated coins were minted, so what you have is an 1903 Barber... Anyway...WTG in that hunted out park. I have a park that sometimes I don't dig a decent target for days and all of a sudden, Bamm....then three or four or more silver, Indians, V nics pop out, even Dime and Quarter tri-fecta's are dug... Here's a picture of digs from a hunted out park I've been hunting again with Bryce's program on my SE Pro... Many at more than 8"s...

Holy CRAP Philo -- that's some great looking silver there, and a TON of it, too!!!

You mentioned Bryce's program. Did a search but may have missed it.

Can anyone (Bryce or members) post a copy of the program? My Explorer II runs rock steady and finds stuff very well. I may be running Bryce's program now, I have learned lots of tips from his posts.

BTW, I'll be posting pics of my bagged, waterproof Explorer II soon.

There is a lake in my area where I have found my oldest coins, and when I go deeper, I find more and more coins, hoping to find rings soon. I bought a Whites BHID 300 so I could get into the deep water. (I know, stone me now.)

What a mistake. It may be a good detector for the soft sandy or muddy bottom lakes, but I have rocks. The Whites picks up hot rocks left and right, pinging them like rings. Then the pinpointing is terrible. I have other concentric ring coils and tehy pinpoint exactly. Because the targets are close to the surface, the Whites sounds a tone at the edge of the inner coil, not the middle. All metal mode does the same thing. How can you pinpoint if you can't get in the middle of the coil? I use an Excelerator 6" coil and pinpointing and depth are awesome. So I bought an Excalibur for the beach.

Thanks.
