Well, within 1/2 hour of starting my second hunt, it was clear to me that this was NOT a "virgin site" at all! $#%! Someone had snagged the easy silver, probably some time ago. Finding the 1897 V nickel, the buffalo, all the older clad and some relics, all, within 45 minutes threw me off. The layer of older clad makes me believe it was either picked a long time ago, or they just cherry picked the silver.
NO WORRIES, in the approx. 5 and a 1/2 hours total time there so far the CTX did me proud, and I was still VERY SUCCESSFUL in the heavy trash site.
My best finds include:
A great, old, white gold and diamond ring!!! (guessing 1/3 -1/2 ct diamond)
1897 V nickel
4 mercury dimes
1 rosie dime
1 war nickel
2 buffalo nickels
11 wheats
a bunch of clad (I don't count it) An interesting find among the clad was, a pocket spill, that included 2 bicentennial (1776-1976) coins. A quarter and a half dollar. Anyone know if they have any collector value? I have found others at different locations and kept them, but,never checked them out.
Relics/interesting items:
Button with depiction of model T automobile
Button with depiction of a Mill scene with waterwheel, never saw anything like it before.
2 boy scout neckerchief rings
Although it was disappointing that it was not an undetected site, I could not be happier with the performance of the CTX in the heavy trash at the site, or my finds there!! I know there is still good things to be dredged up there.
Next time there, I plan on experimenting with a custom program with the High Trash program as the basis. Gonna modify the tones and use the ferrous-coin separation. I have been using the stock High Trash program up till now.
I am VERY HAPPY with the CTX! It has run as smooth as can be with no hicups at all. The more I use it, the more I like it.
IT'S ALL GOOD!! Thanks for reading.
