Eyeballed some yellow at the fairgrounds

[/img] Was walking out to the midway and seen a sparkle in the grass , so I bent over and could see it was gold . I turned on the detector noise canceled and swept it nothing at all . 14kt gold with a small diamond neck less oh yea great start. Took me 8 hours to finish the 3rd midway strip and it payed off good. 11 wheat Penny's 1914 to 46 , Indians 1892 1902 1906 , v nickels 1896 1901 1909 , 1 buff 1926 , dimes 1900o 1903o 1904 ,mercs 1941 1944 1942s , 1964 quarter. The quarter was 4 inches deep came in at 12.32 3 pull tabs were with it .Got a 12.35 signal at 8 inches dug out the hole could not find it , started to widen the hole and seen it on edge at 6 inches 1892 Indian almost gave up on it. The 1900o barber dime was a interesting hit 6 inches down came in at 12.29 to 12.31 dug down and found a barber re swept the hole and a 1909 v nickel was with it .It was real hard to keep up with the signals in a lot of places , 8 to 10 hits with the 6 inch coil per sweep , the stock coil would have over loaded my brain , I can't tell you how much I appreciate the 6 inch coil in the crap I was hunting today . Some people want to know my total silver count from the fairgrounds this year so far 90 silvers . Really nice day to get out , hope you got out . sube

As good as CTX is, it's IMHO not a machine optimized for gold. It's a chain with clasps sitting on the ground... Just like in an air test and in air tests I could never pick anything gold where the largest piece was still a sub gram range. Chains, earring stubs were virtually transparent for the CTX regardless of the mode / sensitivity setting. The same IN the ground may or may not hit. If it hits, once unearthed, it disappears (for the CTX) again. It's like WTF, what just happened???!!!! I could not see it and it rung now I see it shine and not even a smallest blip!!! The same chain with a pendant would ring your ears off than again, a pendant without a chain would do it as well.
I love my CTX but I wish that beside "salt water" there was another check box for "fine gold". Heck, I'd be willing to pay for such an upgrade.

Sube, great day and finds, a bunch of older coins today, is this strip older than the others.
Well done!

Diggin Vt Depends how deep the top soil is , it varies 2 to10 inches the coins stop at the sand layer below the top soil is 2 inches deep or 10 . does not matter date wise v nickel or Jefferson they all stop here . Same thing happened when I finish the last strip , deeper top soil at the end older coins . I'm sure there were Indians and barbers where the top soil was only 2 inches deep ,but those coins are long gone . The only coins I have dug where the top soil is shallow were nickels and coins that had junk by them . sube

Awesome job again, Sube. You are truly the Barber dime master! 90 pieces already. Are you even half way through it?

 

[tonym]

Another awesome day Sube - what a great site. You are really getting a chance to master your machine at your pace in a spot that you are getting to know really well. It does not get much better my friend!! Well, maybe with that gold upgrade

Iv had the same EMI problem How can I handle it on my CTX Thanks, Mickfin

I have 1 midway strip to finish , it's slow going with the 6 but it's getting most of them I will try the stock coil and see what I pull out after the 6.There's 10 acres of parking across the street and 30 acres of race track to check out . I'm sure the coins well not be as old because I have been staying in the area where I have dug old coins in the past .The fairgrounds have been here for a 140 years so you could dig a old coin anywhere . I got a tip from a older gentleman where the old grandstands use to sit , they were out in the race track where it sits now away from the concrete ones that are there now . So maybe I will hit a real jackpot out there . As for finishing it maybe 5 years at the rate I'm going . sube
