    Where the Gold Rings Live along the E-trac and CTX3030 FE-CO line

    Did an analysis in Excel worksheet of Digs_alot on Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum for all the gold rings he dug. He kept excellent records. https://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,37325,37325#msg-37325

    TIME FOR THE 2021 SILVER “WEIGH IN”

    I could look at that picture daily. It inspires me to get off my butt and detect more than I do with my new CTX. Tried the last two weeks of Dec 2021, but lot of chores to help the wife in the crazy period she goes through this time of the year. Love your videos of you adding to your treasure...

    Never listen to the other guys opinion…..

    I had a similar experience. A very busy park by the river in my county. I hunted it for 6 years, 3 with AT Pro, 3 with Nox 800. Only place I found anything was at the volley ball court or tot lot. Everyone told me everyone else cleaned out the other areas of the park. Got a CTX3030 recently and...

    Etrac weight!

    Yes to the harness route. But don't buy a $30. For etrac and ctx you should go with Minelab's Pro - swing 45. It is the best. Transfers the weight from the shoulder to the lower back. The bungie cord system that hooks (not snaps) to your detector is so good. One hand to hook, unhook or adjust...

    Who is a dedicated etrac user

    Very good analogy. That what I was doing for 3 years with my 800. I had no idea how good the Etrac and CTX were and are. I came late to minelab in Spring of 2018 buying a Nox 800. Before had AT Pro. Had I bought an Etrac or CTX I would have been so ahead of the game. Never could get the Nox 800...

    Got a new CTX3030

    I have not had a problem with mine either, but wanted to be aware of some possible problem. Compared to my Nox 800 my new CTX3030 is a much quieter detector. I chalk that up to that the Nox can find the smallest bits of metal and thus has a lot of targets under the coil making if for a noisy...

    question about civil war troop movements

    They have been hunted quite heavily in the 70's and 80's. Lots of reports of guys finding handfuls of 3 ringers, buttons on a hunt. But not so more, but we hunt what is available. It doesn't take much to make me happy on a hunt. This is a great hobby regardless of what you find. Finding good...

    question about civil war troop movements

    I guess you are right. It depends where the generals instructed their battalion commanders told them to go. In the Battle of Peachtree Creek in the Battle for Atlanta, one whole confederated division got lost and ended up in a swamp and did not make it to the battle in time and was not able to...

    Need help identifying this old bullet that I think might be from the Civil War

    this seems to square up with where I found it about 1 mile north of a well documented cavalry action in the battle of Atlanta. Was surprised to find it because that cavalry action was a minor fight over a covered bridge. The Spencer Carbine was well documented as being in the later part of the...

    Need help identifying this old bullet that I think might be from the Civil War

    Ok, measured it wrong. The diameter is .5 inches and the length is 15/16 inches. Was using an old metal ruler my dad gave me and it was in 1/10 of inches not 1/8 or 1/16.

    question about civil war troop movements

    I have some ravines with small creeks in an area where the confederates advanced to get to "dug in" union positions. Would the confederate troops likely advance using the ravines as cover? or the higher ground to the right and left of their advance. The confederate troop movement was in the...

    Need help identifying this old bullet that I think might be from the Civil War

    Found old bullet 5-6” down near 1840’s homesite. It has civil war patina, about ½ inch in diameter, weight 26 grams or 401 grains. I can see two rings clearly and faintly the third ring. It is a fired bullet. Any idea what type of bullet and is it really a 3 ringer?

    Got a new CTX3030

    Yes people are still buying them. Not new to detecting, various vintage machines Fisher, Garrett, 6 years ago Garrett AT Pro, 3 years ago Nox 800 and last year Vanquish 440. All I have now is the CTX3030 and Vanquish (for my volleyball courts). should I put my iphone in airplane mode with the...

    CTX questions about ground condition, "good" signals, etc.

    Got my 4 year old CTX new in box with full warranty, wm10, akaline battery pack, a/c charger, car charger for $1,400 three weeks ago. Just keep calling dealers, especially they small ones. They know who is ready to sell their CTX.

    Anyone moved from the Nox 800 back to a CTX3030

    On my new CTX I had to have the Minelab Pro-swing 46 harness or after 30 minutes I was done. stay with using the standard modes or you will quickly get into jumpy signals, badly tuned 800. But once you really learn the 800, you should be fine. Great beach machine, great in dense iron, if...

    I wish to give our northern friends a laugh

    Yeah, one summer one of those little suckers was stock on me in a very private place. I thought I had melanoma so went to my dermatologist. He plucked it off with tweezers, took back and put it under the microscope. Came back with his findings, a small tick and then the doctor gave me some kind...
