    Sunspot Stealth 720

    I have finally recovered financially from the purchases of my Minelab CTX 3030 and Excalibur II. I am now ready to buy a quality scoop. I have done my homework and one of my top choices is the Sunspot Stealth 720. Before I shell out the money, I was wondering if anyone who owns this...

    First Half Dime I Ever Found (1847)

    I hunted some woods near a small Civil War skirmish site. Within two minutes of turning on the CTX, I got a 12-37 at 7 inches. Expecting a bullet, I was shocked to see a silver coin. It was my first "half dime" I have found. Dave

    Unusual Button Find / Anyone ever seen one like it?

    While hunting an old house site yesterday I got a good signal at four inches down. As I turned the plug, I saw the button and expected it to be Civil War. It appears to be at least from the early 1900's or possibly even older. Has anyone ever seen one like it? I checked a few button sites...

    Unusual Button Find / Anyone ever seen one like it?

    While hunting an old house site yesterday in combined mode I got a 12-15 at four inches down. As I turned the plug I saw the button and expected it to be Civil War. It appears to be at least from the early 1900's or possibly even older. Has anyone ever seen one like it? I checked a few...

    Good Day for CW Bullets and an 1880 IH penny

    The ground was still wet yesterday from Tuesday's rain. Most of the bullets were found between 5" to 6", one bullet was 11" down. The IH penny was only about 4 " down. Dave

    Good Day for CW Bullets and an 1880 IH penny

    The ground was still wet yesterday from Tuesday's rain. Most of the bullets were found between 5" to 6", one bullet was 11" down. The IH penny was only about 4 " down. I was using a modified "Gone Hunting" combined mode with ferrous coin. In the past CW bullets always came in the 12-36 to...

    Unusual Civil War Button Find

    While driving around we found a small area about 50 yards by 75 yards in size, that had just been cleared of underbrush. The area was near a public park and was full of trash and nails. The ground had already been taken down about 3 inches by a bulldozer and I dug another 3 inches to get to it...

    Unusual Civil War Button Find

    While driving around we found a small area about 50 yards by 75 yards in size, that had just been cleared of underbrush. The area was near a public park and was full of trash and nails. I used the "Trashy Park" program, with normal recovery. Within five minutes, I got a strong 12-36 reading...

    Two Unexpected Finds with Trashy Mode

    I went back to the old home site where three houses built in the 1940's had been torn down. Based on what I found during my previous visit, I expected more pennies and maybe a silver dime or two. Well I did get my two silver dimes but to my surprise I found a Civil War three ring bullet and a...

    Trashy Mode Program Does Great

    Several weeks ago, I downloaded a "trashy mode" program from this website. Unfortunately, I can not remember who posted it, so I don't know who to thank. Yesterday, I went to an old home site where they had torn down three houses built in the 1940's. The entire site was littered with nails...

    Need Info on Siesta Key Beach, Sarasota, Florida

    Has anyone hunted Siesta Key Beach #1 in Sarasota, Florida. I will have a chance to hunt there in the near future. First of all, is metal detecting even permitted there? I heard it is a very shallow beach where you can wade out fairly far and only be in knee to waist deep water. I was also...

    First Day Results For My CTX 3030 / Civil War Campsite

    My new CTX 3030 arrived yesterday afternoon. By early evening, with help from another CTX owner, I had the machine programed and ready to go. At 0630 hours this morning, I was in Culpeper, Virginia at a campsite that has been previously hunted heavy by two Etrac users and by me with a White...
