"12-35" is starting to be my favorite #'s to dig

[ronfin]

Well, I had another "first" today with the CTX. While working a new spot I came across a 12-35 solid target at 5". Every time I've had this Fe-Co combination at 5" or more it has been an Indian Head, so needless to say I was excited. Well, I was totally shocked at what popped out of this plug. It's my first War Nickel. A 1945 in really nice shape. This 12-35 combo has been really awesome for me lately. Has anyone else noticed this?

All my 12-35 has been Indians

Indians here to at 12.35 its the 12.38 that are usually junk.

This was definitely a shocker. I knew what it was right away before I cleaned the dirt off, and was completely shocked it wasn't an IH. Thanks to this guy John that pointed me to this spot where he found Barbers and even a Reale at 3". last time he showed me a spot he found Barbers at, I ended up pulling 12 of them! can't wait to get back to this little section and work it hard. The CTX is gonna kill in this area.

I've been noticing that the CTX loves Indians - I dug 2 this weekend - 1891 and 1899 (second one was only an inch deep and blasted me with a 12-33).

12-35 is a funny number for war nics, I dug one last year with my E-Trac that hit a solid 12-42 - even out of the ground! There must have been a wide variation in alloys.
