About 12 months ago I purchased my first Explorer Se Pro detector and also purchased a used factory 8 inch coil as well.
Shortly after the purchase I decided to go to a beach area that is secluded and the farm along the river belongs to a friend of mine.
I went to an area on the beach where I saw a man detecting with a Whites detector, I asked if he had found anything, his reply was a couple of silver coins dimes & quarters. Not wanting to intrude on his area of hunting I came back a couple of days later and started hunting where he had been....well......guess what? I started digging silver half dollars right and left, everywhere I turned signals were pounding my ears. I dug about 20 half dollars in about 40 minutes before the tide came in and I had to leave. A couple of days later I invited my hunting buddy there and together we found 114 silver half dollars including the 20 or so from my previous hunt. I ended up with 74 and Andy found 40........Most of the halves were walking liberty coins and 10 or 12 were barbers. I thought some of the readers might like this particular little story.. It definitely was a nitro moment for us.. A picture of my finds are below..
PS The area was loaded with rusty nails etc....probably why the whites detector didn't find them.....the iron mask feature works on the Minelabs...
