Dear Minelab once again I must thank your company and its engineering staff, I have owned 5 of your machines three lost in a house fire, my Musketeer, my Explorer XS and my X-TERRA 50, however water under the bridge we carry on and feel blessed that only the house and it's contens were lost..okay here we go may 10th 2012. Secured permission to hunt a field just turned for planting this field is located next to a farmhouse built in 1751 the field covers approx. 150 acres the first hour of searching brought to light 2 1798 large US. coppers and several musketballs along with broken ox shoes and other misc. Items I continued searching now in a light misty rain and found this section of field oddly quiet free of targets but then suddenly a sweet high tone and that 38-39 silver. Indication ok I thought wow perhaps a silver coin or a lost ring...but when I dug the target and found my first complete colonial cuff links I just wow jumped around for a minute or two thinking YES I had never found any colonial jewelry before just era copper coins tool parts and musketballs etc. Minelab once again you haven't let m even down thanks......
