seeded hunt question

[younggun]

Hi all, I have an up coming seeded hunt and was wondering should I use my SE on this hunt or should I use something like my single frequency eureka Ive heard alot of talk about how the SE dosnt like freshly buried coins but my eureka will find anything metalic in the ground fresh or not I also have a SOV xs I really dont know which one to use .The officials said the coins will be in the ground less than 24 hours before the hunt starts any help would be appreciated JY

I would use the Lightest of the 3 and hope you have a Probe to help find the one's that will be tougher to find. Some end up on Edge, or Deeper than the rest of the Coins. I use my Explorer XS in hunts and don't have any problems, except I occasionally break an Armcup, so if you use the Explorer Se, make sure that you have a spare Armcup. Also, use the machine you know the most or have the most use on. Hope this helps. Good Luck and HH.

A seeded hunt can have tokens and coins of many different metals. I would suggest the single frequency. and little or not discrimination.

Hunting rabbits with a elephant gun to use an explorer in a shallow seeded hunt..What you need is a lightweight, fast, easy to pinpoint the shallow coins..Remember its all about speed as a hunt field is cleaned in the first 10-15 minutes even if the hunt is 45 minutes or so..a unit where you can change the freq. or a freq. changer attachment is also a plus..1235 X was one of the best when I hunted these hunts years ago. Explorer sure has its place in the field for the darned deep elusive silver coins but not on a shallow seeded field..

i would use what you feel most comfortable with. i used my first detector, white's prizm iv for most of our clubs seeded hunts. mostly because i feel most comfortable with it and it's light. usually the name of the game on the seeded hunts is recover and MOVE on!

good luck!
