The dry ground is starting to make a bruse on my palm :rofl:

Well I was able to get out and play with the new SE again today.. I went up to a ball field I have been hunting for a couple months with the E-trac.. Signals are starting to get pretty hard to find.. I wasn't feeling to well, and I had a lot on my mind.. pretty stressful night last night.. I decided to take off the SEF coil and throw on the Pro just for giggles. It didn't take long to get my first hit.. I was making a pass right down the edge of the fence... same way I go every time I am there.. I got what I would call a great "one way hit" when I circled the target I got nothing but a null, except for that one particular direction,, It was perfect music to my ears.. I pulled open the plug and as soon as I put the probe in she started singing.. I pulled the wheaty out and directly behind and to the right was a couple nails..

Like I said in previous post.. Their is only about 50 to a 100 feet of actual good detecting ground.. the rest of the field is fill dirt.. I have found coins right up next to the fill to about a foot it.. I cant wait for a down pour of rain, I know there are some keepers deep under the fill..

Right up next to the fill line and just a little bit over into it is where I pulled the rest of my coins at tonight.. If you look just right down the field you can see a line where the fill dirt and the clean dirt meet. I walked right down the line swinging half and half.. I kept on squeezing out some deep wheats.. Then I finally got that deep signal that every explorer user loves.. A high fluty jumpy tone.. The cursor kept on bouncing into the ferrous side to up in the right corner of the conductive side.. I circled the target and got the same response from every direction.. When I hit pin point and swept back and forth over the target.. The cursor would do the same.. kind of bounce over in the left hand side, then lock back up in the right.. I opened up the hole and dug down a bit.. When I put the probe in she screamed.. there was no mistaking what was there.. I tried to be careful, I wanted to get very close and try to get a pic of it sticking out the side of the hole.. But as always I got a little to eager and popped it right out. She ended up being a 1920 merc..
I normally dont dig too man nickel signals.. But I will dig ones with a deep warble to them.. Doing so I was able you come out with a couple war nickels.. I spent the rest of the evening fumbling around on the edge of that fill line. I was able to pull a few more wheat's and another merc

And that is how this kid in his 20's likes to spend his friday nights... Digging up old coins... I must be the lamest person out there

now it's time for bed LOL

Good luck everyone and thanks for looking!

Show off.... haha, good digs there. I dug a little over $5 in clad yesterday but couldnt buy an old coin. The dirt is getting hard thats why i chose to hunt this park just because of the shade and the soil was still somewhat dry. I tried to hunt one park and couldnt put a butcher knife in the ground so i left. I have an old ball field like that i hunt on occasion when its wet because of all the fill they put on them. Must have 6 to 8 inches of dirt they have added over the years. Parts sound like fill with concrete because of the deep iron then some have underground lines that sometimes you can hunt and sometimes you cant. I pulled and outstanding 1927 S SLQ several wheats and about a half dozen mers so far. But the fill dirt isnt always bad. At the edge where they shored up the creek ive gotten 2 very early seated dimes. They had to have been brought in. Im looking forward to winter..... when i set down with a warm cup of coffee on a beach and read your posts about your 2 hours hunts because it so friggen cold Nice to see you posting here again.

From the perspective of a friend,the pro coil is more sensitive,The SEF is more stable at higher sensitivity
but that is saying to me it is less sensitive.
Congrats on the great finds.

Sounds like an awesome Friday night to me!!!

My bruised palm turned to a large, hard callous after a bunch of digging. I don't feel pain there anymore.

Nice finds. You're really making the most of that ball field!
