    First silver with the CTX

    Spent several hours today at a civil war hospital site that has not been productive by any means. On the way to the field where I hunt I have to cross a small creek, which had flooded recently. As usual, I swung my detector on the way through the area because you never know. Near the creek bank...

    Be careful....

    The little rubber plug on the wireless module will pull right off if you unknowingly have ahold of it when you pull out the charging cord. :rage:

    battery charging problems?

    Has anyone experienced problems? I hunted for about four hours yesterday on a full charge. Got home and put the battery in the charger, which is roughly 16 hours ago. Its still blinking. I unplugged the charger, plugged it back in and reinserted the battery with no change. While I had the...

    ctx and sunray headphones

    I know this has somewhat been covered before...and I read most of it, but I came away with no clear answer. Simple question. I want to use the Sunrays with the wireless module. Yes, I get sound and yes the machine audio goes off, as it would when you enable wireless. The volume though when...

    CTX maiden voyage at Gettysburg Confederate Camp

    TomH and I took our CTXs out for their maiden voyage today for about 2hrs. A whopping 34 degrees and spitting rain/sleet....our boots picked up about 20 lbs of mud each but we made it through. I was able to pull a few relics out of the ground once I broke through the frozen 2" crust. Didn't...

    Do a custom "combined' program with the ferrous sound the same as the initial factory setting, but having all 50 conductive sounds on the top instead of only the four sounds?

    Eagles flew this evening :detecting:

    Had the family along this evening, we had gone to meet my middle daughters boyfriends parents at their place south of Gettysburg. In discussion with them, we found out that their place had been a Union field hospital. Of course I couldn't pass up this opportunity since I had the V in the back of...

    Should I have been using the "shooter" coil? :detecting:

    To my surprise I had some time to get out yesterday on the nicest day of the year so far. I was hunting an extended yard from a house that sits on the ridge where the first days battle of Gettysburg took place. Got a BEAUTIFUL deep signal......of course it couldn't be a buckle, but still a...

    super 12 coil opinion

    My new V rated super 12 coil showed up yesterday, purchased a lower rod for it and tried it out today. I hunted farm field for probably 4 hrs, lawn for probably 2. Played around with it in my yard comparing the D2 and the S12 for probably 1/2 an hour. All in all I have to say that the extra...

    Holy Frijoles! bad ground

    Hunted here near Orange, VA today for about 9 hrs. I knew the ground was bad, but holy cow! I did a ground probe and in most locations, the ground vdi was a -92..not too bad, but the percentage came back at 50% plus or minus!! I had no way to filter that out and still use discrimination. I tried...

    Rain and the V3

    There is a chance that I will be hunting in drizzle or light rain at the hunt coming up this weekend. It is a rain or shine event. Though I will avoid heavy rain or downpours, I'd hate to pay my money and not hunt during drizzle. How water resistant is the control pod? Suggestions for the box...

    Relic hunt yields oldest find

    Went out today to an area that contains some civil war relics having found a ringtail sharps and a pistol bullet there last weekend. This weekend I came away with one find, my oldest one to date. The V3i pulled a large cent out at 8-10 inches with a solid ID. I looked it up and this style cent...

    Need help adjusting for very bad ground?

    Hunted an area today that apparently had very bad ground. Two harvested corn fields, one across the street from the other. Field one I had been buzzing along with no issues and even had tx boost on. Picked up and dug a few targets that were easily in the 6-8" range, though they weren't what I...

    hey all!

    I haven't been on in a while, mostly just reading without posting but today felt like posting for a little bragging rights. Whites contacted me yesterday about a picture I had sent them asking for some information on it. I called them back and filled them in last evening. Again today I received...

    got my 4x6

    My 4x6DD showed up today, extra rod and hardware, just in time for my Christmas present to myself. Now I just need to wait for the foot of snow to melt and the ground to thaw. :surrender:

    todays V3 finds

    Decided to change it up from my standard civil war relic hunting and visit an old abandoned house today that dates back probably into the 1800's. As suspected, ran into a HUGE amount of trash so I only dug high end VDI numbers. First hole held 3 wheat pennies years unknown and a '52 rosie...

    What causes....

    Went to a new spot on Monday to hunt civil war relics. As I do when I get to any new spot, I dig every positive signal until I get a feel how the detector is working with the ground at this location and how much trash there is. And good I do. My first swing after turning on the V3 and ground...
