Went to beach this PM with the family and hunted about an hour and a half with the CTX. At first the machine was jumping around and falsing a lot. I messed with sensitivity settings to no avail. I re-ground balanced with no improvement. Finally I realized I was swinging the coil too near the metal scoop!! Doh!!
Then I really started to hit coins. I rounded up 5 quarters, two dimes, and a child's ring in about 30-45 min. Unfortunately, the family was ready to go at that point and I had to stop. The beach was extremely trashy so I had to be highly picky about targets especially deep ones. If I had more time I would have dug more targets especially deeper less certain ones. I used the combined ferrous coin mode with GH's tweaks. I plan to return one morning sans family and really settle down and hunt the place well.
