No more snow leads to dime trifecta (slam??)

[ironman200081]

Although the miserable cold weather continues, the nearly 2-feet of snow has disappeared. I decided to pounce on the first rare warm day and hit two sites on my wish list. They did not disappoint.

Both sites are older, dating back to the mid-1800's, and were used through modern times. The first site has less modern trash. Both sites have abundant iron garbage and EMI issues. The CTX simply scoffs at this. I pulled 4 silvers at Site 1, including a war nickle and a dime trifecta (Roosevelt, Merc, Barber). Site 2 yielded another Merc and an 1876-S seated dime to complete the almost grand slam. We must endure another week of yuck weather here in Mid-Mo, then full-scale detecting season should begin.

You know, the one feature I absolutely HATE about the CTX is the clock. With the E-Trac, I could be gone all day and could use the "lost track of time" excuse with the wife. Now, she knows the CTX has a built-in clock. Great job, Minelab. Why don't you just include a remote tracking device so the wife can come right out to my honey-hole sites and chew me out in front of my friends.

Nice goodies Bryan the winter weather just hangs in there. 14 degrees on the first day of spring wt* hunting any way My advice on the clock is put a piece of tape over it lol Most of the snow is gone here in north Mo. at least for today

I'd call that a great day out. My experience shows that the "lost track of time" excuse rarely works...i get an ear full anyway.

I like the seated and the barber. Nice job. How deep are your older coins?

You may have to change your handle to Silverman if you keep this up

Thanks! The coins at the first site were about 3 to 4 inches deep. The seated was only 3 inches, and right next to a nail. EMI was bad in that spot, I was getting 17 sensitivity in auto + 3. The wheats were also shallow in that spot. The Merc I found at the second spot was about 7 inches down.
