Spanish Colonial Silver in Missouri

[ironman200081]

With all the glitz and glamor surrounding Minelab's new Equinox, you'd think it was the best thing since opposable thumbs and Cheezy Poofs. Maybe so, but right now I am still madly in love with my CTX. I went out on a hunt with my wife, who recently got an E-Trac. We tore up a well-hunted public park with our FBS machines and came away with some deep treasures. I pulled 6 silver, including my first ever 1 real. It is a Charles III that is extremely worn and holed. No date, sadly. 1700's coins are rare as hen's teeth here in Mid-Missouri, so I was glad to have it. Found a shot Civil War bullet too. My wife found her first old coin - a Buffalo, along with a ring and a brooch or hat pin. Also, as you can see in the first part of the video, she found something VERY interesting in her first hole!

I am excited about the upcoming Equinox release, but I have no intention to shelve the CTX.

You give me hope of finding such a thing in the middle part of the country! Shelve the CTX? Not before I die! I hope the new machine is a great addition.
