    The CTX, and your most inspring hunts.

    Example: My first day out with the CTX I found a 1936 Walking Liberty Half in beautiful condition. On one hunt I found 6 deep silver dimes, and my first Large Cent at 11". On a random afternoon I dug my first ever gold ring, and it coincidentally happened to be from my Alma mater! It was...

    The 5 minute sub-zero hunt.

    Metal note, my Lesche will NOT cut through frozen ground, even if I really really try. Decided to try a spot I was researching, and since I was off I figured I'd just dress warmly, and everything would be fine. I found an old foot-path on an aerial that disappeared in the 1940's. Drove to the...

    Trashy gravel gives up another silver at 7" with iffy 12-39 ID

    Went back to the gravel spot I found the quarters at recently, and decided to dig all the deep and iffy targets. Glad I did. Cleaned out some iron, some Wheats, and low and behold I get a 12-39 target at 7" in Ferrous Coin which turns out to be a 1946 Rosie. Dig those deep iffy targets even if...

    Video of 3 silver quarters in hot rock-like gravel. Listen to these awful tones.

    THis is from yesterday. I dug three silver quarters in some dark gravel with hot-rocks. Listen to how inconsistent and jumpy these tones and numbers are in Ferrous-Coin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzwEDsrT6x4

    Really Minelab?! You're kidding, right? *sigh*

    So after Karate tonight we're out to dinner, and my buddy texts me. The text reads "Yo. I got the Minelab brochure in the mail today. Did you know they have you in there?" What?! First, a little back-story: A year ago I submitted one of my "finds" for a monthly competition they have. The winner...

    It's not every day you find a SLQ with friends!

    I found a patch of terrible dark gravel in-between two old trees, and hit a sweet pocket spill. My day wasn't going very well, I was getting tired, and it was almost time to go. I heard a weak signal, and it was bouncing all over the place. I couldn't get the target to settle in, and almost...

    Second Large Cent in as many days...

    Hitting a new spot that I found a Large Cent at a few days ago, and my first signal of the day turns out to be another LC. I was pretty shocked. Wish I had more to share today, but after the Largie I couldn't find anything else besides a few clad quarters, and a clad dime. Great start, but awful...

    Great way to kick-off the New Year with silver a Largie, and Nickel trifecta!

    Decided to get out today and start the New Year, even though it was in the mid 30's, and drove to my local park. I wanted to work an area that I didn't have any luck in during the summer months, but a fellow hunter (Gary) had found some V nickels right near a gravel path that once contained an...

    2 Merc Day

    Back out at the spot today for a little, and found two Mercury dimes. 1927, and 1944. Great day. Weather was nice, and I put a good video together for y'all. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5QtNGPR3vI

    Honey Hole spits out RARE 1840 Half Cent, and 2 Cent Piece

    Couldn't resist the temptation to go hit my new found Honey Hole today since the weather was awesome, and I was able to get all of my errands accomplished before noon. I found what might be an old buried path from the back of the foundation I've been hunting, down a slope towards an old spring...

    Calling it a year. Year-end silver totals: 131 et al

    Deciding to call it a year, since tomorrow starts "Peak Season", and I really wont be able to hunt again until after the Holidays which is when I started this hobby last year. Below is a quick run-down of what I found using the ETRAC, and CTX 3030. I was gonna list dates, but that would take...

    Beautiful 1834 Large Cent @ 4"! +silver & Flat Buttons

    Back out at the old home from the 1700's today, and in the freezing weather, I found the back foundation wall. I worked along it for a little and my first great find of the day was an 1834 Large Cent at 4"! I hit some bricks, so maybe it was turned over at some point when they demolished the...

    Wow! My first Half Cent in great shape, and best Barber quarter ever!

    What a day. I wanted to get out early today and start hunting, but had some things I needed to do first. I didn't get out till 3:30 PM, so I decided to hit a new spot near a busy road that I kept putting off. For starters I don't like to hunt around people. I still feel a little "odd" metal...

    Back out after a few week hiatus, and nailed a Washington and an old ring.

    Haven't been out hunting in a while. After Hurricane Sandy came in and crapped all over my area, I just wasn't feeling up to going out to hunt. Finally drug my butt to the park today, and glad I did. Made a little video of my two hour hunt today, and was amazed again at how I found targets right...

    Here's my Trashy Ground Coin mode someone asked for...

    Someone asked if I would upload the mlf file so here it is. I've had a lot of success with it using Auto +3 sens.

    Just checked on my "Honey Hole", and it's wrecked.

    We had some flooding due to Sandy, and my entire neighborhood has trees down everywhere. Power outages, etc. I was able to get out for a little to see how bad it was around the area, and drove to one of my hunting grounds. Trees were down everywhere. Debris all over the place. Doesn't look like...

    After digging a Merc, I recorded some classic iron falsing [VIDEO]

    Went back to my honey hole for a little today, and within 10 minutes I had another Mercury dime. However, that was it for the next 2 hours. During the next two hours I dug a bunch of junk, and was able to record a classic iron false on a deep nail. Hope the video helps some of ya...

    My evaluation of Auto vs Manual Sensitivity; Ground Coin vs Ferrous Coin

    OK, I've been using the CTX for a few months now and have kept a journal of all my finds. Time, location, depth, soil conditions, and mode. I've used the stock coin mode, Ferrous Coin in Combined, and Ground Coin in Combined. I've tried Auto sensitivity with +3, to just Auto, and then Manual...

    Ridiculous day! 3 Barbers, 1 Merc, & a girl OD's in the park!

    What a ridiculous day. I had the day off, so I started my morning by surprising my girlfriend at work with some new chocolate carmel latte from Wawa. Spent a few hours there until her appointments started arriving for their eye exams, then drove home to change, evacuate the coffee I had...

    1935 Washington quarter was sitting on top of a nail at 7-8". [VIDEO]

    Couldn't drive over to my new spot, and hunt the V nickel tree today because I was pressed for time. Only had about an hour to get some swings in, so went to my old park to re-hit some spots that had been good to me. Decided to pick a tree that had a lot of orange bricks buried in and around it...
