    Old Park yields .925 Silver Ring with Blue Stone

    Continuing to pound my old park and found this .925 Silver Ring with a pretty stone with a bluish cast. Any ideas on what kind of stone it is? Opposite the .925, NF is stamped in it. Any ideas what this indicates? Thanks Chuck

    Problem with deep nails

    Today, I got two deep (8 inches) 12-44/45 signals that turned out to be large nails. I tried to pinpoint accurately but I guess it was not accurate enough. I was really fooled! Can anyone give me some tips on the method of pinpointing in order to avoid these trash targets? Thanks Chuck

    My Best and Oldest Find!

    Was hunting a park in S.E. Iowa over the weekend and got a signal at 9 inches that I was sure was an Indian Head but to my pleasant surprise, out pops this 1853 Half Dime with arrows. No mint mark so it was minted in Philadelphia but it looks to be in great shape. Thanks Chuck

    My Best and Oldest Silver!

    Hunted a park in S.E. Iowa over the weekend and got a choppy 12-36-38 signal about 9 inches deep and was sure it was an Indian and to my pleasant surprise out pops my first 1853 Half Dime with arrows. No mint mark so it was minted in Philadelphia but it seems to be in pretty good shape. It's...

    Deleting Patterns

    As I gain experience in tweaking and developing my own patterns, I am finding that I cannot load all of them onto my CTX due to the maximum restriction of 10 patterns only. Can I delete the original stock patterns from my CTX in order to gain more space? If so, can I retrieve these later if I...

    would appreciate some advice about some issues I am having with the CTX. Just began using the CTX and have been on a few hunts so far. I am using basic settings in coins mode. I have noticed that the VID display remains on the screen for several seconds when I pull the coil away from the...

    New CTX 3030 User

    I just took the plunge and invested in a new CTX 3030. Thanks to Bart at BigBoysHobbies for a great deal, two day delivery and great advice! Assembly was easy and although the manual was a bit intimidating at first, things began to make sense after reading and re-reading a few times. I am a...

    Disappearing Signal

    How many times has this happened to you? I get a good and reasonably deep signal, pinpoint and then dig a plug only to find out that the signal is gone. I use the pinpointer to determine if the target is on the sides of the hole, dig a little deeper and keep checking with the pinpointer and if...

    Considering the CTX

    I am an X-Terra 705 user and am considering moving up to the CTX. My problem is a lack of compatibility of the Xchange2 program with my Macintosh computer. My question is will the lack of the use of the Xchange2 program adversely effect my use of the CTX?

    Considering E-TRac

    I have been an x-terra user for the past two years and although I like the machine, I am considering an upgrade. I've read a bit about the ET and I like the fact that it can differentiate between ferrous and non-ferrous which has to be done manually on the x-terra. Can anyone help me with the...

    Interested in the SE Pro

    I am presently using the X-Terra 705 and although I really like the machine, I am interested in upgrading. My main interest is in a machine that can differentiate between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. My research indicates that the SE Pro has this capability. Any feedback from Explorer SE...
