Ok went out with a used 3 time Ctx-3030 and hit a small area with mascard1 today. I ended up finding a 1902 V nickel, a 1904 V nickel, a 1920 and a no date Buffalo nickel, a 1901 Indian head penny, 2 wheat pennies, and an unknown coin / pendant. I didn't find any silvers though. I will try to clean up the coins tomorrow evening.

Nice assortment.
Just hold on to your collection bag. I just put a ctx3030 into service 8/1/15 and have been back over places that
I have pounded with my AT Pro and Safari. Yesterday I picked up $1.72 in coinage which contained 3 quarters,
6 dimes, 2 nickels and the rest pennies, in about half an hour. If I had not owned the AT Pro and the Safari I would
have had a much harder time learning the CTX but to me it has the combination of the response of the At Pro and
a much higher ability to distinguis between the trash and the good stuff. Saturday, my wife and I went to the river
where I have hunted the camping area time after time and each time with all detectors, I would find something. The
most significant being a civil war bullet I found with the Safari. That area is full of bottle caps and pull tabs not to
mention old burned tin foil. I found and antique spark plug for a boat motor and a 1936 Mercury dime. I am by
farrrrr no expert with it and have a lotttt to learn about it but what I have found so far is it is the ultimate hand held
metal detector. The second thing I found with it on 8/1 was a broken 18K gold necklace that my wife is going to make
a wrist and ankle bracelet out of. Another thing, a lot of the signals I use to ignore I am now digging and finding good
stuff. I counted up this morning that since 8/1 I have found more nickels than I had the 10 weeks prior to getting my
CTX. For some reason, nickels have been my hardest find. Good luck. You won't be disappointed with that detector
