Let me just start with.... I LOVE MY CTX 3030 !!!

I went to a small park tonight that I stopped visiting 2+ years ago... You can walk around this park in 90 seconds... It is between a marina and the Amtrack Railway...

This was the first place I hunted with my Bounty Hunter Landstar and I still remember getting my 1st Indian Head Penny (188 there 5 years ago... I recovered 10+ Indians, 2 Shield Nickels, a few Merc's and a couple of buffalo's... but I always felt there was older silver there...

There is lots of deep lead and large pieces of rusting iron at this site... but its been 2 years and I'm armed with my 3030 now

I had started at a park close by this place and had some clad and 5 Wheaties in my pouch...

I first decent signal was a sharp chirp of a 42, but not very deep... 4-5"... It is a super thin barber dime...

There was some older silver here and now it is in my possession...

Next up was a nickel signal... and as Usual the condition is... weak... but there is a date... 1901...

The next 3 recovered targets where all within a 10 foot circle... and sounded almost like an Indian Penny... but also sounded like deep iron... Well they were deep pieces of lead...

The next recovered target I shot video of (and will get up tomorrow), its was not the best signal, but I was pretty sure it was deep silver @ 7"...

I grew up right next to one of the New York New Haven and Hartford lines here in New York, it was called the Maybrook line. One time while detecting along it I found one of the train brake wheels.

Congratulations on those great finds (April 7th also). I also like my CTX. They just find stuff that other machines didn't. Thanks for the pictures and post. HH

Wow Paul - what a couple of great days you've had! Old silver, injuns, "interesting" injuns, awesome buttons, etc, etc. Simply outstanding.
