    Turn the CTX, and BAM! First target's a silver! 6 silver, Large Cent day!

    Had one of the greatest days ever to date. I met-up with a few other MD guys for a hunt at the park, turned on the CTX, and the very first target within seconds was a 1919 Merc. Uploaded with ImageShack.us The day only got better. Found my first Large Cent at 8", and it was a solid 12-44...

    Susan B Anthony at 4" screamed 12-46 solid.

    Dug my first Susan B Anthony $1 tonight on a short hunt, and thought whatever it was, was on the surface. It was 4" down but the CTX was screaming so loud and clear I almost thought it was a can. The biggest difference I've found between the E-TRAC and CTX so far, is that when the CTX locks onto...

    "12-35" is starting to be my favorite #'s to dig

    Well, I had another "first" today with the CTX. While working a new spot I came across a 12-35 solid target at 5". Every time I've had this Fe-Co combination at 5" or more it has been an Indian Head, so needless to say I was excited. Well, I was totally shocked at what popped out of this plug...

    The CTX really likes IH's

    Quick hunt today and again for the 3rd day in a row I found another IH. This one from 1905. 5 months with the E-TRAC and I only dug 2. Now I'm at 6 in 3 days. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    Day 2 on the CTX and found more Injuns!

    Had two hours to hunt today so I spent the first hour in a new section of park that only produced a few Wheat pennies. In the second hour I moved back to the area I found the 1936 WLH and 3 IH's, and immediately started finding Wheats from the early teens. It wasn't long before I found this 1900...

    1st hunt with the CTX and BIG silver! Two firsts today!

    I'm starting to see why everyone loves this MD so much. Received mine yesterday, and spent a few hours reading up on it, and loading some patterns similar to the ones I used on the E-TRAC. I decided to hunt with the set-up that Gonehunting created. Let me tell ya this. I LOVE this set-up! To GH...

    No longer an E-TRAC user, but wanted to post my totals with it.

    I absolutely LOVED the E-TRAC! It was a coin sniper as you can see from my clad totals. Haven't been on [here] much lately, but have had some really good hunts over the last few weeks. These numbers are for the 5 months I used the E. I'm very happy with them. My total silver count was 85 coins...

    Silvers #70, and #71, plus mid-year rookie report

    Today I was off from work and had a few hours to get more time on the 6x8 SEF coil. Really loving this little coin magnet. My first silver was along a concrete path. I was running in Manual all day at 26 sensitivity, and had covered this spot before with the ETRAC's stock Pro coil, but missed...

    I will NEVER hunt at night again! Run-in with the Police, mosquitos, & a racoon came at me. ugh! wtf:ranting:

    I was so excited to get out after work and hunt for a little with the 6x8 SEF in the spot I've had luck with, so I showered really fast, and got to my spot as fast as I could. It would've given me about 2 hours to hunt. No more than 15 minutes in, as it's getting dark, a light to my right...

    First day with the 6x8 SEF finds oldest KG copper yet!

    My first day (yesterday) using the 6x8 SEF coil, and I found this King George I Farthing minted between 1717-1724. It's in bad shape, but I guess copper doesn't hold very well in the ground after 288+ years. lol This coil is amazing. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    The 6x8 SEF coil is a beast! Love it!

    I recently found a 6x8 SEF coil for my ETRAC on eBay since I've read some great reviews by some respected MDers, and since I tend to work in highly trashy areas, I figured why not? So my first day out I found a bunch of Wheats, and a King George I Farthing (1717-1724) which is my oldest coin...

    1909 VDB WHEAT PENNY!

    Weeks ago I found this 1909 Wheat penny, but it was pretty banged-up, and had a tough layer of dirt stuck to it. I decided to throw it in some olive oil and let it soak. Tonight I took all the coins out of the oil, and to my surprise this 1909 is a VDB! It doesn't look like an S, but that part...

    Barber #9, bag of tokens, silver ring, etc. Fun day hunting!

    I decided to re-work an area that had been very good to me in the past, and I told myself that I would work extra slow, and run the ETRAC as hot as I possibly could. Normally I'm impatient, and move fairly quick through an area. I also decided that I would dig EVERY iffy deep signal. If it's...

    Old Fairgrounds Hunt Day 3

    After yesterdays complete bust at the old Fairgrounds I decided to try again, but this time go with Chris who knew his way around in there. He had pictures of the entire grounds showing where everything was back in the early teens and 20's. We focused on an area near one of the main building...

    New area = new firsts! Capped Bust Dime!

    Recently met a fellow MDer at a local park, and he gave me a tip on a heavily wooded area that was once home to a Fairgrounds at the turn of the century. It pre-dated 1900, and aerials of it in the 40's showed the location, and that it was no longer in use. So, decided to try my luck out there...

    2 silver, big copper half penny kinda day.

    Had a great day hunting today. Pulled a lot of trash, but found two Rosie dimes 20 feet, and 15 minutes apart. Then for about 3 hours found a little clad until I hit a deep signal I thought was silver. The ETRAC rang it up at 1-49 constant, and when I dug it I had NO idea what it was. I was...

    9 y/o with a BH3300 vs 41 y/o and an ETRAC. Who won?

    Took my 9 y/o daughter out this afternoon for her first official hunt. The first time she came with me it was to watch, and since it was cold out she didn't last more than 30 minutes. My over/under on her today and using her MD was about 30 minutes until she gave up, and I was almost right. So...

    You never know unless you ask! Greatest example ever.

    I'll keep this short. If you see a place that looks like it would have a lot of potential to detect, never hesitate to seek-out the owner and ask permission. The worst that can happen is they tell you know. Today while working I asked the owner of a former pre-civil-war era Fort, that has never...

    Double Barbers, S & O, '37 Merc, and my Wheaties.

    After watching the Flyers destroy the Penguins today I drove to the lot that gave-up the 5 SLQ's. I've had mixed luck here. One day nothing but trash and a little clad, then 5 Standing Liberty Quarters in a spill. Then another day full of trash, and more trash. So given the history here I wasn't...

    How to fix a "hot pixel" or "dead pixel"...

    This is a great video on how to fix a dead pixel. I haven't had to actually use this yet, but judging by the comments it really works and will come in handy if I need it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJBuGhMnvFo
