We have hunted this area countless times. We or I should say I said that the area was hopeless. My wife said it wasn't so after a short while she was jumping for joy. Her first barber half but right above it was a old cutter off a piece of farm machinery. Then came the seated an the Indian. Barber was a 1904. Seated was 1876 an Indian 1866 we are headed back tomorrow. I learn a lesson today and as bad as I hate to say it never argue with a women with a Ctx 3030 Lmao

Nothing is ever hunted out you just have to listen

Congrats on some great finds!! Just out of curiosity (and to help a CTX newbie understand this machine), what sort of readings did these show and the depth? Also, what mode was being used and the settings?
I know that's a lot to ask, but, I have had my CTX only two weeks (coming from a Fisher F75 standard) and I am rather flummoxed at the reading I get. The only one that I have been able to trust with any degree of certainty is the nickel signal at 12/13 on both x and y axis. Next in line would be a quarter at 12/45 or 11/45. Dimes and pennies will hover around 12/43 sometimes. Everything else seems to be all over the scale.
Any help or advice (or encouragement) you can provide a newbie would be greatly appreciated.
HH and stay safe.....

Well to be honest I look at the numbers sometimes. The seated came in at 12-40-43. It was around 5 inches or so. I really don't pay much attention to the depth Guage. We have hunted that property ALOT but this time we listen to what the Ctx was trying to tell us. I was digging a butt load of rusty nails but was going after that high tone. It sounded like this. Bump bump bump ting ting bump bump. I used to think it had to be a perfect High tone to dig or a 12-45 but it don't have to be. I did the 90

The numbers to me are secondary. It's the tones and even iffy sounds. Plus I always circle the target and if the even iffy tone doesn't move, I dig it. My two finds yesterday that I'll post soon were in the middle of a nail patch and VERY iffy signals, but they got my attention enough to dig them.
Good info, folks......I really do appreciate it. I guess the bottom line is simply dig everything and something good is bound to show up eventually. Maybe I had set my expectations a little too high......just getting a little frustrated at digging a number of solid 12/08's and getting only aluminum shrapnel. And, yeah, I need some better locations!!
