Ok, I will try and make this short but I am SUPER PUMPED about my hunt today. I got a new permission I was very excited about since it border property I had found several silvers and IHP on. Started out there and was not getting any good targets at all. I ended up finding 7 cents in clad. Thought well, I have another new permission lets go try our luck there. Started out sloooow, clad quarters and dimes, I am getting kinda dejected. FINALLY hit the two wheat pennies. Kinda perked me up, found some more clad. The owner comes out and starts telling me about an old foundation and where the storm cellar used to be. So we walk around back and I start detecting inside what is now a dog pen, with a foundation all around it. I had not walked 5 steps and the 3030 SCREAMS at me a 1/44, top right image, hmm. 6" . I dig down and out pops a beautiful Franklin half. WAHOOOOOOO !!!! My day IS SUCCESSFUL ! I dont even take a step and another screemin 1/44, 6". hmm I dig down and out pops ANOTHER FRANKLIN HALF. WAHOOOOO!!!! I have never even found one of these coins and now I HAVE TWO !!!! WAHOOOO!!!!! I dont even take a step, (Swingin in all directions now) I get a 12/47, top right image, 8". hmm, I dig down and out pops my 3rd Franklin half. About that time the owner walks out and Im about to have a coronary. I said your not going to believe this but check out these half dollars. Well, then hes excited. He said I will take them in and clean them up for you so hes gone in a flash. I am shocked at this point. I walk about 10 feet, get another screaming 1/44, 6", WHAT, really, I dig down and A WALKING LIBERTY HALF< WHAT. Ive never found one of these either. I start looking around, make sure this is really happening or I have died and went to metal detecting heaven. YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Im having difficulty breathing now. I stand up and swing a different direction and get a 1/43, 4 inches. pops my 2nd Walking Liberty half. About that time owner AND his wife come out with the first 3 halfs I found, all cleaned up, (These folks are very old friends of mine). They are smiling, im smiling, I said check this out, showed them the Walking halfs. Off they go to clean them up. Its starting to get dark. I walk a few steps and get the 3rd Walking half. Get up and swing over my plug and BOOM, same signal 1/44, about 3 inches from last plug is ANOTHER WALKING HALF. This is unbelievable. I am thinking to myself I am glad the owners are seeing all this as it happens, nobody is going to believe this. By this time they have came back out with my cleaned up coins. I said I HAVE TO COME BACK tomorrow, this has been the best hunt I have ever had. SO, they agreed and I start walking out, 3030 rattlin over all the nails and junk and BOOM, I get a 12/43 about 6", dug a ROSIE dime, wow, i mean really wow. I get up and check my plug, SAME SIGNAL about a foot away. ANOTHER ROSIE !!!! (9) SILVER DAY, MY PERSONAL BEST EVER !!!!!! And (7) of them are HALF DOLLARS. So, HOPEFULLY, I will be able to share some more SILVER coins tomorrow. STAY TUNED !!!!!!!!!!!!! DID I MENTION 9 Silver Day !!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
DAY 2 :
I couldnt wait to get to the lot where I found the (7) Half dollars yesterday. About 15 minutes after starting got a 12/46 signal about 6", out comes the 1947 Washington quarter. AWESOME !! I am on the board. After that it got pretty slow. I hunted this small area for about 2 hours and never came up with anything else. To say the least I was disappointed. I just knew there were more half dollars in there. And there might be, there is so much trash in this area it is hard to hunt. Seems like every plug I have dug here has nails, trash in it. Decided to hunt the empty lot next to this and right away I get a 12/43 signal. I am thinking alright, silver dime. NOPE. Sterling silver ring with a green stone in it. This is a very small ring so I am thinking a childs ring. From the detailing looks like probably from the 20s-30s. WAHOOOOO, my first ring of the year and ITS SILVER. I walk about 20 feet and get a nice tone, 10/38 about 7". I dig it because the tone sounds so good and what do you know, out comes an 1889 IHP. Im thinking okay, maybe I wont top yesterdays hunt (and probably never will), but off to a very nice start. I go another 20-30 feet and found the 1928 Wheatie. A few feet away I find the 1950 wheatie. ANOTHER GREAT HUNT for me !!!!! YAHOOOO !!. I also found some little cars, an old tack ring, a small tag that reads "Oklahoma Hybrid Tea, Pat#2326. I think this was a tag for a rose bush. Found a couple of big fishing sinkers, they lit the 3030 up. I also found another piece of costume jewelry off a old brooch probably. Great weather, another Great Hunt. I thought before I leave, Im going back to the dog pen one more time, there has to be more there. I start hunting close to where I found the other Washington. About 3' away I get a 12/46 signal, about 4" and sure enough, 1946 Washington. YAHOOO !!!! Still more there. Gotta put on the sniper coil and see if I can weed through the trash. The target trace feature and Pinpoint Sizing feature really came in handy on these two hunts in this trash infested site. Its so bad I could hardly use a pinpointer because it was constantly beeping.
I primarily operated in Coin Mode, Ground Coin, +3, Combined tones. The CTX3030 is an AWESOME, FUN machine to hunt with, and quite effective.
