Best CTX Weekend Hunt So Far

[DukeOBass]

My brother-in-law is finally feeling better so I took the 2 hour up to hunt with him this weekend and WOW!, did we have a good one! I always think that the current rip can never be as good as what we've done in the past and am always surprised. I found my oldest silver coin to date, a well worn 1790 Charles IV 1/2 Reale, yet another large cent, an ladies pin, indian head pennies, buffalo nickels (My dad gave me the nice 1930 buffalo), 40 wheats Ranging from 1913 to 1956 (of which, only a portion are shown in the photo and multiple other silver. This is just what I found and doesn't include my brother-in-laws finds! Plus, $9.55 in clad.

Awesome hunt duke what coil and program were you running!! Have you thought anymore on adding the DEUS to your collection!! Lol

 

[DukeOBass]

I'm using the CTX stock coil and running the Minelab Coin program with the Conductive Tones set from 75 to 1200 Hz.

I have a few really trashy sites I'd be curious about using a Deus in.

 

[DukeOBass]

Thanks Doc. I assumed it was a 1/2 Reale due to it's size.

Great Job Duke!

Duke! You did well. Congrats on a great weekend. Your patience paid off, big time.

 

[DukeOBass]

It was definitely the very best weekend with the CTX so far.

When we were on the way to hunt a house, where we had picked up a bunch of Indian Heads in the Spring, I saw where about 2 acres was being bulldozed off. It had been covered in foliage since as long as I can remember and I'll be 57 in November. My brother-in-law made contact with the owner and is awaiting a call back. If he says we can detect it this upcoming weekend, I may just be making another trip for a few days!

[DukeOBass]

Me too. I always think that there can't a better one, but I end up pleasantly surprised.
