That's a nice group of coins and other misc. finds. Some people will see a pile of finds like that and say "why can't I find stuff like that". As you stated ,it was 5 days hunting in heat and miserable conditions. It's not as easy as some people think. Nice hunting and congrats on some nice finds.
Sweet hunt.
That's why I sold my nox. It found silver, but also missed silver that the ctx/etrac would zoom right in on, and not vice versa.
If I sell my ctx, it is because of weight, not performance.
I dig everything 12 40 and up. Thought I was digging a penny with the ctx and out popped a Peace dollar. Heart attack city....

My Dad grew up in the Rockford/Charles City area, the family moved out to Idaho in 1936. The family farm is still in “the family” and if we can afford to get back there I’ve got permission to go play. Would be nostalgic to find a pre 36 coin and know that maybe it was my Dad’s or Grandpa’s at one time. Someday……
Heat or cold, cornfield or no cornfield, that was some good finds!!!!!

That’s a great looking and hard earned pile Mike! People like to ask “WHY are you still using that thing when there are better and lighter machines now?” Well, at least they got one part right….
Major PROPS on some great hunting through the misery.

Our weather has finally tempered off a bit. pretty rough hunting I would agree. Your partners comparisons remind me of a guy I was hunting with. I called him over to listen to a target I was about to dig, his only comment was I don't know about that one I wouldn't dig it. He had only made it 10 feet away when I had a 3 cent silver in my hand, in his defense there were two square nails in the pile as well so not a clean target by any means it just had that sound. And I got called a mother f#@@er LOL
We were both swinging 800's set up exactly the same way, go figure.

We are having 98 degree heat and feels like readings of 110. Has shut down all my hunting except from 7:00 - 9:00 am when is in mid 80's. Can't imagine hunting that much in that heat. Hottest June here in Atlanta in a long time. That is why I sold my Nox 800 and got my CTX. I have a lot of trash and the nox with its narrow TID range would bounce around on good signals. Other than the heat sounds like a good hunt.

I tried the Minelab Pro Swing harness. did not like it too bulk, would not fold up in back pack. Got Doc's Swingy Thing harness and it fits real comfortable like a pair of heavy duty suspenders, keeps my pants up since I have billfold, keys and pinpointer and finds in my jeans pockets. Very comfortable and folds up easy to fit in my go pack. Has good bungee cord like the Pro swing Harnes so that is also good. $51 i think.
