Another great hunt with the ctx

[jimzilla]

I went out this am for about 2 hours before the rain came. The first place yielded a few wheats and not much else. Then I went to an area that I have hunted with the etrac an killed it years (20) ago with the whites eagle spectrum. Within 15 minutes of arriving there I get a 15-45 15-46 signal at 6". I dig down and out pops a 1920 Merc. I rescan the hole and get a 9-32 10-36 reading at 6". I'm thinking Indian head penny...well out pops a buffalo nickel. I again rescan the hole and get a 12-47 reading. To my surprise out pops a 1907 Barber quarter. Wow...this place was killed so I thought. Further along about 30 feet away I get a 1954 Washington quarter and just beyond that a 1948 rosy. I'm not selling benefitting from saying this but the CTX is by far the best machine I ever owned. I will post pics tomorrow as I am on my phone writing this.

The reading you had 9-32 10-36 that produced a buffalo and then a barber quarter. I have been doing some experimenting. It seems the majoraty of the time when there is a nickel and another denomination of coin in close proximity in the same hole, you will get an indian or zinc penny number. I once dug what I sure was a zinc, and it turned out to be a nickel and a barber half....Just something to mull over when you elect not to dig zinc cent numbers at a site that has produced old coins.....

That is where Target Trace Pinpoint comes in handy. Even though the number of the strongest coin signal will display, both targets will leave their "trace" on the FE/CO coordinates of the display. HH Randy

Wow, only 2 hours and all those finds at only 6 inches and your etrac previously missed them all? Apparently you either skipped over those areas or the etrac needs servicing.

I am sure it was missed not only by me but countless others as well. When there is iron in the soil and lots of trash, the Etrac nulled and was not operable.

OR.....................the CTX was able to locate more accurately things his other machine(s) missed.

That's exactly what I was doing and responded accordingly.

Before the 3030 came out the minelab enthusiasts said their etrac was supposedly the best thing since sliced bread. Now, maybe not. Good time to buy a used etrac I guess, they should be going really cheap.

Oh Good then maybe you should consider buying one
