    4hr Hunt 5 rings ????

    Ok it's kinda 3 rings since the .925 puzzle ring has 3 rings looped together. LOL! The other is a 10k engagement ring and the third may turn out to be sterling? The coin count was 64 and I dug 18 tokens as well. Could have left in the first 45 minutes as the 10k and puzzle ring came minutes apart!

    Sand lots of sand, it poured out of it. I have always covered my speakers on the machine that have them but hadn't though of the WM10 wireless.

    100 plus coins 100 bucks plus a little gold!

    Few hours of slow swinging and 100 plus coin day. Mostly pennies and dimes with the nickels right behind the dimes. The pendant is 10k and would only bring about 16 bucks gold. It would sell better as jewelry! The 100 bucks was a fresh drop in the dry sand, as I walked by it going to the wet sand.

    Rare Dirt Hunt for me Produces Silver

    This winter I did a little research on a very large sports complex 80 plus acres that once housed a chicken farm. I found that there was once a path that ran from one end to the other in the late 1950's. I used goggle maps I plotted it out and downloaded it to the CTX 3030 and went out followed...

    Confusing day after the Nor"Easter

    Confused is how we left the beach today. Mark Matt and I hit the beach about 7am for a 9:52 low tide. It took some time before we started to dig coins, they were low in the water. I did manage a silver 1912 V-rex quarter then an hour later Matt had a 1913. Before the end of the hunt I would have...

    Got the first Gold for 2013

    Its been a pretty slow time since hurricane Sandy. If you want to dig clad you can find spots that will make your back hurt. I have had a fair share of clad I'd like a token every onece in a while. I drove down and met up with Surfdigger and hunted beaches less hit by the storm. Brian spied some...

    GPS Maping Questions.....

    While I have had the 3030 since May I just started to Use the GPS feature. Its use is great for ploting finds and knowing your locations. I am having some trouble converting map datums for use with the 3030. I use Historic Aerials to find potential spots to hunt and the GPS numbers are digital...

    Crazy as this might sound......

    I had an aah haa moment last night. I hunt mostly the beach and I have drifted into the dirt again since getting the 3030 back in May. I was researching an old trail that appears aroun 1961 and is gone in 1964 or so, it runs right accross the park, looks to be like the ice cream truck park at...

    but I see some great finds being posted with the CTX 3030 and have noticed that many have picked up Gary Drayton's method of posting finds on the screen of the 3030.While I like to take care of my tools they tend to get bumped now and then. I have always washed my detectors off with mild soap...
