I L-O-V-E nickles...And to dig 3 silver nickles in one hunt is spectacular...Congrats man.........I am always trying to find ways to dig more old nickles while digging less and less junk......But those beaver tails have got me......Minelab amkes a Great machine.....The whites are a great machine as well,but for now .I will stick with the Minelabs for another year....Always seems like in your hunts ...You dig more silver with your Explorer..........L.O.L....IT IS a Graet Silver Magnet........
TY 219er ,Explorers seem to be better at finding the hard to get silver, Ithink it has alot to do with the way it hits on a target IMHO. An iffy always sounds better on the exp. to me. But Whites makes an awesome detector that anyone can use and find deep stuff with.HH
I agree,and I wish I would have kept my Whites XLT...I found many old coins with it ,while swinging fast with a reasurance I would not miss an old coin...Just too much tweeking room in whites machines for Ole (accessive Compulsive me LOL)
I would try new settings most every time out....While my DFX buddy was finding the goodies....I was trying a new tweek...."Not a good thing"..I think if I would have stayed with the XLT factory pre-sets..I would have found more,and not switched brands as often
Yea, I know what you mean, I think the customers felt like they needed more settings to tweak, but they went overboard with the DFX in my opinion, I have an old blue Eagle II and its the same as the XLT. Great detector .but it can be overtweaked and become counterproductive. The M6 is simple and finds the deep stuff. I think its the best turn on and go det. out there.
The explorer has some tweaks , but its harder to mess up on, than the whites, the exp tweaks are not going to hurt the performance as much, if you over set something you will know it, where with the whites you can hunt all day with bad settings and not realize whats wrong.
you guys are right.i use a dfx and it took me along time to get it all figured out but man once i figured it out i wouldnt trade it for nothing.except for mayby a min lab! but cant afford that right now.
That was an interesting hunt. I've never found anything good on my Explorers that were low and right on the screen. If that first target wasn't a nickel do you think you would have dug any of the others? Did the signals bounce around some? HH
I think the sound and depth got me. curiouss enough to see what it was and I have dug some deep iffy nickels here before. I have passed up alot of signals in that part of the screen,I only hunt in smartscreen and Never in digital.
I have even disced out crowncaps before when in ferrous, and that blacks out the area the deep silver nickels hit here on this hunt. It has alot to do with the history of the site , as to how much weird signals I will ttry.
I think I will dig more targets in the lower right if they are deep and Im using ferrous from now on. I wish the video would have been clearer, the one I showed was just like the first one, never went left to the nickel zone but did line up pretty good on the vertical azimuth for a nickel . Later Vidslayer, HH LaDigger
I do seem to find more sil nickels than one would expect, I guess the old timers did't dig alot of nickel signals, these were iffy and I wanted to see what was down there. They sounded like silver but bounced around in the lower right corner where I usually never dig on th ex II. I was using Ferrous tones. HH. Thanks Gibs , LaDigger
Houma La is on the gulf is is a nice size town for the south. I think they filmed the water boy there. About 33k or more people. They have a decent mall and a college town just to the north Thibadeaux home of Nicholls state university.
neat and awesome video! interesting! gota love those silver nickels
