Day 2 with my Minelab Explorer Pro. I did pretty good I guess...

[treasurefiend]

Well I just got back from the spot. Goio and I tried our luck and came up with more deepies!!! It came at a cost though, at any given time their was 50 flies on each of us, and man were they hungry!!! I never seen anything like it in my life!!!! Today was my second day out with my Minelab Explorer Pro, this is what I found:

1900 IH
1904 IH
1909 Wheatie (Goio's Help)
1910
1918 S
1919
1920 D
1947 D (Goio's Help)

The 1918s & the 1919 were in the same hole, that was cool to find. Below the 1904 IH was that piece of metal that is stamped "950", anybody have any ideas on what it is? I also found a butterfly pendant, but its not gold or silver. But all of my finds (minus the clad quarter) were down 6 inches or more. I also have a pouch full of the usual garbage, (square nails & pull tabs), we were only digging iffy signals though. The 1900 IH is now my oldest coin that I have found, I want to breakinto the 1800's so bad!!! I'm catching on pretty quick, I already love my new Minelab!!!

Good start with the SE!

For biting flies I use Permanone on my clothing (use as directed) and Deets on any exposed skin. You can find both in Wal Mart. If you are in their territory for extended periods you may have to reapply the Deets. I always carry a spray bomb of it with me.

I am seriously thinking of using fly paper on my jeans, the more I catch, the less that can bite me!!!!

I guess if there are guys finding Barber Quarters I would have suffered some too.

I looks like a great spot you are hunting - with all the early date wheat pennies.

Did one of the other "pros" help you set up your machine? If you are getting deep wheat pennies(6 inches or more) I think you are doing good. You just didn't walk over those silver quarters like the other guy who got lucky and did.

Yea my buddy Goio setup my machine with the program that he uses (I think it is the setup that Captian SE mentioned in another post). The other guys are great too. I am going to go back this weekend, they should all be there. So I am going to just soak-up all the knowledge that I can like a sponge!!!

Wow great hunt and finds!! You are so lucky to have those (more experinced) guys around to show you the ropes! Pretty soon I can see you teaching someone the same things that you were taught and making someones day by doing so!!!! Like you said soak it all in buddy and hope you find your share of the silver next time out! But to be honest I think what your finding is just as good if not better! HH Tom P.S. the fly trap cracked me up lol
