Tough hunt...

Got out a little today ...about 3 hours...with my new/used Explorer SE Pro. I only have the stock 11" pro coil now but am waiting for a new 6X8 SEF to arrive. I've never owned a SE Pro before...but I have owned a couple Explorer XS's, an Etrac, a CTX3030 and a Explorer II in the past. I've enjoyed them all. I found a good deal on this SE Pro so I bought it and took it out to an old church that has history clear back to the 1860's. I didn't break the 1900 barrier nor did I find any silver but I did manage to scrounge up a couple of nice coins. One being a 1907 V Nickel and the other a 1903 Indian Head penny. It was a tough hunt as this place has been hunted hard for many many years. However...persistence and a new/used SE Pro paid off. BTW...they were about 6" deep in a field of square nails. I'll be going back when my 6X8 SEF coil arrives. HH
 
That's a good start. I started in a trashy park and it was a while before I learned how to pick out the indian head cents. Good luck with the small coil.
 
New 6X8 SEF coil arrived today...shipped from Bulgaria to Texas in 7 days. That was fast!! I'll go out tomorrow with it to see just how well it may perform against the SE Pro 11" stock coil.
 
6X8 SEF didn't do much for me today at the old church I have been hunting. Was tough to find any good signals with it. Did find a small brass bracelet piece which I believe was quite old...pretty ornate too. Managed to pull only one dateless Buffalo nickel with my other detector after retiring the SE Pro with the SEF.

Anybody got some settings they use with this SEF 6X8 that I can try? I was able to run the sensitivity up to max (32) with the coil but it seemed to operate best at 24-25 on manual. Also tried "deep on/fast-on"..."deep-on/fast-off"..."deep-off/fast off"...etc. "Deep -on/fast-off" seemed to work best. I was in conductive tones all during the hunt.

Thanks.

Charles
