Well it rained all day but I didn't let that stop me..With wallet in sandwich bag I hit the treasure trail. I received my ctx yesterday around 2:00 pm CDST. I played with it until 9:00 pm last night. I didn't like combined mode. Way too busy for me. So this morning at 5 am I opted for 50 conductive with open screen down to 25 ferrous. I ran mostly in auto. CTX stayed around 27/28 auto sens reasding. I ran high trash and target trace on. Since it was raining and I don't have waterproof headsets, I used just the detector's external speaker. Finds were as follows: 1943 quarter, 1902 v nickel, 1845 seated dime, 1904 barber dime, 1923/43/45 mercury dimes, heartshaped locket, silver engagement/wedding ring(no sets too bad), Ford logo emblem off of auto or tractor, silver ring, civil war bullet, another ring contents unknown rang in at 12-01, another pendant, one misc piece. Needles to say I'm tired. I need to figure a way to put a harness on this etrac on steroids. The CTX is a monster in trash. Some of these finds were a good 4-5 inches from where they were detected, I noticed there was iron in most of the holes probably deflecting the signal. I did dig a few pieces of iron, but not many. I tried to dig only 2 way or better signals with good color inside the cursor.
To me this detector is better than sliced bread.
PS I did dig 2 targets that rang in at consistent 22 ferrous. When out of the ground they read 12/13.

That is a very nice first day out, congratulations.
