Hello all! I have not had the opportunity to post in a while; had tech issues with the phone and laptop (both now replaced). I thought I would throw a clip together of two recent hunts. One was at an old picnic grove that is now pretty dense timber. I went with two friends, both with AT-Pro's. I found a handful of wheats, 3 Mercury dimes, a 1943-P war nickel, and an older Buffalo. I was using the 13"x17" Smart coil, and it handled well in the moderately trashy ground. There was a substantial amount of iron trash, but I was able to pick out the goodies. Both AT-Pro's only came up with 1 silver dime and 1 wheat cent.
Next, I hit a Fremont-era Civil War Union camp site. The ground is relatively clean, save for some 1800's iron, agricultural iron, and light modern junk. This is the campsite that I was previously told was "hunted out." I used the 13"x17" coil and Auto+3 sensitivity, which held consistently at 25-28. As before, I proved different and found some lead, an infintry coat button, and two Seated half-dimes (1857-O and 1858-O). Needless to say, I was pretty excited. The Geohunt feature helped me to keep track of where I had previously swept in the open hayfield that now covers the site. I shot some video of the hunts and have attached below.
After 6 months with the CTX, I remain very happy with the machine and impressed with its performance. I am excited to see how it handles this winter.
