Old explorer still hitting on those old coins

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Parks are thawed and ready to go so off to one of my favorites today. A quick hunt netted me an 1864 two cent piece, 1870 indian head cent, worn shield nickel and a wheat cent. Great start to the detecting season.

Ed,

Nice hunt

I had my old XS out once this spring. Looks like nice weather ahead, time to get out more before the grass starts growing. The XS still my go to, even though I have the CTX and NOX800.

Nice finds my friend! Looks like that Indian might clean up well. Was hoping for a spring trip to Seated- fingers crossed.

I have a Safari, and just added an Explorer XS to my stable, the only problem with both is having to dig coins 12" an deeper...if that can be called a problem

I have been using an Explorer XS that I just got for the last couple of days, it is a one owner lightly used XS in great condition and I have been going over some spots that I and others have hit hard with a lot of other detectors including other FBS machines and I have pulled 3 silver dimes and a few wheat pennies using the stock XS coil. I was amazed at how well this bone stock detector did in these areas and how deep it goes, I was averaging 10 inches on the coins I found. Love this XS but I feel the stock coil is to heavy for it, but it performs very well.

Go with replacement E-Trac upper and lower shafts and a Pro coil, will be a deep deep killer beast, you will wear out a shovel lol.
