    First lost ring "find and return" attempt!

    Since early in my detecting days, I have wanted to be able to find and return a lost ring or other jewelry to someone. I finally got my chance this week. My wife alerted me to a post of a local small farmer that lost his ring while working on a tractor. We know him a little because we get our...

    Found an item for a citizen!

    I went to a nearby ball field that is in the process of getting some artificial turf, so I figured I should scan the ground before everything is wiped out. The park has been there since my mom was young and I have only tried detecting it once. I didn't find anything but clad so I had written...

    More deep silver from the park:detecting:

    I went back to the park that produced my double barber quarters from 2 years ago, and more recently my first gold ring. I was hoping to find more deep silver with the CTX with the 17 inch coil and I was not disappointed! I started right where I found the 2 quarters and gridded along the same...

    First solid GOLD ring for me!

    Went to a park on Thursday that gave me the double barber quarters last year, hoping for more oldies. I was not disappointed! My buddy started with a 1920 Merc, and then I found a 1907 O barber dime deep under a visible root. Later I got another signal under another root, and it was another...

    1788 Nova Cesarea??

    Hey everyone, I was taking my new 17 inch out for its maiden voyage, and last outing for the season and pulled 2 coppers from a field next to my colonial home that has produced 8 coppers, 3 half reales, and a GW button. One is a draped bust no date and I believe I have a 1788 Nova Cesearea New...

    Advice on cleaning 1797 large cent with nice details

    I found this large cent on the same yard I got 6 other LC's and my GW button and other buttons and buckles. I was using the 6 inch ctx coil in the nail-loaded side yard. Got a repeatable but iffy signal so I was surprised to find this at 5 inches down. Its the second best looking one from...

    First GOLD and first penny trifecta for the CTX!!

    Hello all, Haven't had a chance to get out much in the last few weeks due to bad weather and being busy with fall cleanup. I was driving past a 1860 farm I have been eyeing since spring, but the owners were never there...until this past Thursday. I got permission from the nice couple, and I...

    Worked-out by the Etrac? Hardly...

    Hey guys, Looks like the CTX once again proves its worth over the Etrac (for me). My detecting buddy (Billabong on the forum) went back to the battlefield that we had hit pretty well with his VX3 and my Etrac 2 weeks ago and used his CTX to pull out some items we missed. Namely FOUR musket...

    Seeing double???:surprised:

    Today, my detecting buddy and I went to a new park that is on a 1905 map of the area. I saw some plugs that had been made probably the day before, and they were filled in but pretty obvious. Disappointing. So we started near where those plugs were to see how good they did. HA! They missed...

    First private home hunt

    I tried some door knocking last weekend, and noone was home at some of the promising sites I was checking out. I went to a farm/homstead built in the late 1700's because I saw some people from the road standing around. Turns out one of the guys there has an older home just down the road that...

    Upgraded to the best!

    Hello everyone, I've been on the Etrac forum for a few months now, but with all the amazing finds you all have gotten, reading reviews and seeing the capabilities of this machine, me and my detecting buddy decided to splurge. Bart at Big Boys Hobbies had a great deal on the machine that...

    Had to do it

    Well guys, because of the capabilites and a excellent deal from our good friend Bart at Big Boys Hobbies, I had to get the CTX 3030. The Etrac put up a good fight and got me 21 silvers and a lot of other great finds this year, but me and my buddy who also upgraded to the CTX just made some...

    1880 home gives me 3 firsts!

    Hey guys, This week I traveled to a relatives home that was built in 1880 in Massachusetts, and has not been detected before. My hopes were high, even though the people who lived there were not so well off. I brought my friend with the VX3 and was worried he might take a coin or two that I...
