Greetings from Greece,
First of I'd like to share my happiness for this forum since it's an oasis of knowledge, experience and information for both metal detecting and our beloved CTX.
I own a CTX almost a year know and I've been trying to learn this machine as good as it gets. My main interest buying this machine as you can imagine, is to help me detect and dig up treasures where in my country are numerous and spread all over it. Just to mention, I don't mean archeological findings, because here the legislation frame is to strict and it's welcome since the country is full of history.
Now, 2 friends of mine experiencing many years of searching several locations in Greece for WWW 2 relics and treasures (mainly gold British pounds) which have been buried, dropped from aircrafts during the war (WW2). They are mostly organized concealed underground or in caves by the army or guerillas. We strongly believe that we are very close to some stuff after deciphering hidden signs on rocks, woods, maps and murals and after thorough studies, testimonies from that era survivors and of course after serious metal detecting using spot and long range metal detectors. These gold British pounds are in aluminum or iron cases (military ones where bullets were placed). We are talking about 1-5 of those cases, each of them including around 2-5000 pounds. Making the calculation, the weight of each case is around 16 kilos. Assuming that each of them is adjacent to the other, the total weight is going to be around 45 kilos.
At this point, I'd like to ask your expertise and any similar suggestion you may have regarding CTX capability to hit such target. Such stuff is buried around 1-2 meters deep and I am just wondering if CTX is capable to hit such volume of target so deep and if yes, is there any chance to be depicted on screen ( large blue shadow down and right maybe?) what kind of sound should I expect. Maybe it's so silly to ask this question, since I am almost sure but is there any chance to hit both the metal case and the gold inside or the aluminum (or iron) case will mas the gold?
Lastly, I'd like to let you know that the mineralization in soil here is almost everywhere low or moderate and in mountains and at such locations we've been searching the trash is pretty low.
As far as CTX's settings, I would be grateful if you have something specific to point out.
Thank you all in advance and every suggestion you may have will be warmhearted welcome.
Kind regards to all of you.
