As the hunting season here is coming to an end I am finally strong enough to go out for a couple of hours. My summer was pretty much wasted due to health issues. Many of you made some great finds and I sure enjoy reading this forum! Now for the problem. I hunted a park yesterday for about two hours. It dates back to the 1870s and has been hit very hard. Lots of silver has come out of there the last 35 years. I noticed my SE was nulling out quite a bit. I think that is the term. It would work fine but there were times where there was no threshold thru the headset or any noise at all. In spite of that I did find about 6 clad coins and a wheat cent. So should I send it in to be checked out? I have a couple of bean fields I would like to hit but if the machine isn't working correctly I may have to wait. Thoughts? Thanks! Ted
