Got Some Gold With The Explorer II!

I took a new machine, Minelab's Explorer II, to the beach today using the 12.5" coil I've been using with the Quattro. Running the Explorer pretty hot, I did not get many targets and what was there was deep. My first dig was a pair of sunglasses deep in the dry sand.

I also did manage however to scoop up a 14K ring with an Opal. My beach program from henceforth will be: (and this is with the 12.5 " coil) IM -9 (Hunted very well that way) Sensitivity on 24 in the wet sand, 22 in the shallow water. Ferrous Tones (Liked it better) Switching back and forth from Smartfind to Digital...favoring Digital. Fast - On (Tried Off, not as good for me) Deep - On. Some of these targets were very deep and I had to learn some Explorer II language. The ring souned VERY sweet and surprised me by coming in at 11 - 00 on the digital. I verified this with it laying on the ground as well. The tone was awesome. Or HOPED I knew.

Ran into a few other hunters...Max, Low Tide Tim, and David from Suffolk. A lot of people were at the beach. I expect that next weekend being Memorial Day, things should really start heating up. I saw a lot of "bling" today. Now all they have to do is start dropping it!
