An hour before dark....

I headed out at about 7:00 this evening to a local park that I have never hunted to see if I could cherry-pick anything. Nothing but clad - so I bugged out of there and headed to a small park that I have detected many times with every machine I've ever owned (including the E-Trac) because it's old - but never found very much - a few old wheaties and junk - because there is so much iron in the ground. I only had an hour before dark, so I got to it - and the CTX did the job - 3 wheats, a '1925 buffalo that was in the same hole with a no-date SLQ, a '43P war nickel and a 1914 Canadian quarter. Also got a brass harness ring, a "Good for 5 cents" token from Pontiac, an old cartridge and a very nice button that reads "Extra Rich Orange Colour" on the back - I'm guessing mid to late 1800's. A fun evening - I will be going back!

I'll have the vid up soon...
 
Nice Doc! My CTX is supposed to be here today. I'm a little bit nervous coming from an E-trac that really cleaned up for me.
 
Beautiful button! Your finds really demonstrate the CTX's capability. Were you running auto or manual sensitivity? More recently with the CTX I have been monitoring the sensitivity manually into the upper 20's just to see if I can tempt anything else out of the ground in areas that I have hunted or I know others have.

Gary - I was running auto +3 sensitivity - I think it was settling in at about 22 or 23. HH
 
Very impressive.. Wish you the best of luck hunting the rest of the park
 
11 nice targets in an hour is not too shabby.....:thumbup:
