We got away for a few days and I managed a couple of land hunts and one water hunt with my CTX 3030. The CTX was flawless in the water and I found a lot of coins and one small silver earring front that had broken off of the backing. A big surprise was one wheat cent was found in the water and obviously had been there for quite a while. A lot of work for little reward but you just never know when that gold ring will be the next target to be brought back to the surface.
Land hunting was more productive with one silver dime and 28 wheats and two more IH's for my collection, both 1895. The best find of the weekend has to be a Railroad switch lock key with the Pennsylvania RR logo on it, I have yet to positively ID it. A close second in the favorites list is a two part Eagle cuff button in great condition, but the loop on the back is missing.
Other fun finds are two tokens, one is for a car wash and the other is from Hardee's and a two year safe driving badge.
