Yesterday, I was graciously invited by one of your kind club members to go detecting in Bradley Park for 2 and half hours on such beautiful Friday. This was basically my maiden voyage with my CTX, and I had not been detecting for over 20 years..... since having 7 kids slows ya down a bit, and refocuses your priorities. So Goal ONE! Learn the detector! Well, at the park, the first hour I got lots of sounds! I went more with the goal to begin the learning curve on this machine. The first 45 minutes I got lots of sounds and then a few more sounds (Lot different than my "Old School Garrett from 35 years ago~ ;-) , then at about an hour into to detecting I got my first hit.... a 1918 Wheat! and then in the next hour I got a little busier with 6 more coins. (1 wheat, 4 Memorial, and 2 Jeff nickles). I went home, feeling that I had a good learning day, with many more to come!
Today, I worked in the yard, but as the day progressed it was getting colder. And before the snow and cold weather hit tonight, I decided later in the afternoon to get my CTX out for about a half an hour to just do some listening. At the end of that half hour, I got a good sound, and found at about 5 inches a 1874 Indian Head (it was standing straight up and down in the dirt)! My home was built in 1965, but the property next door used to be a old school, it shows up on some old topo maps that I have been looking through. (Goal 2 research, research research) So I thought I would share the pick of my first good find.... thanks for reading. Tried to download a pic, but it was to big. So it is on my face book page. " Friend me: and you can see it. My wife and I do Face-book together, so the name is "Blane Crystal Rings" Thanks for letting me share my first finds! I look forward to meeting each of you in the next few months and at club events! River
