I knew I'd get a War Nickel!

I went for a two hour lake hunt at treasure island. When I got there with the boat I ordered my new CTX 3030 over the cell phone that I will pick up tomorrow! WOO HOO! I jumped in the water after a quick scan for that darn water snake. I went over the area where I have been pulling all my good finds, at one point I thought the snake was rubbing against my leg and I yelled like a man (loud low bass yell) and jumped a country mile. Haaaaaa, good thing I didn't have a heart attack. Not much action on the lake this time of year. I was happy with a couple wheats and a 1945 War Nickel so I pulled the anchor and headed home for lunch and youtube videos of how to use my new machine!

Enjoy the pix

I use an AT Pro now and tell myself that if I ever get the CTX, that I'll still need the AT for trashy areas like cellar holes. Is the CTX also great in places like that?

Yes..It has a fast recovery speed. .
It can pull crap out of the iron..
But the deus is better at that..
Just goes to show if you can? You should have more then 1 tool in the shed..lol

George, Whadifind and I met a guy with a CTX that said he had been detecting since 1995 here in Pa and still hasn't found an LC! How do you explain that one?

Tell him to stay out of the parks...lol

Just get a $369 coil for the CTX and it will out pull the Deus, lol.

I am not sure about that, but I am sure that the $500 coil for the CTX that will come out in the future should do all that and give you an audible voice that will tell you if you have a LC or a Indian head at 9 inches.

Thanks for the tip Helix, how about your site? That would be new for me, how do you feel about sharing?
Besides, I hit up new areas at least three times a week.

 

[Old Dude]

2 old pre-1820 LC's now have turned up under my coil in yards of 20th century houses this summer. I guess we shouldn't pass up ANY permissions we get.

 

[Carolina Tom]

Congrats on the finds... and big congrats on the CTX. GL&HH.

The snake was probable admiring your CTX. Maybe he's thinking about getting one too!

A bass yell huh, ......well....ok we'll give you that one!

MsBB, I am not ashamed that I screamed like a little girl a few years ago when I had snakes falling off a cliff all around me. Some of us are just more honest than others......( wink wink ).
