    First hunt with the CXT 3030!

    Hi guys,
    I got out today to try out my new CXT 3030
    I liked it a lot ..I dug a lot less trash and I did pull two coins
    The first coin with my new CTX found was this 1877 seated dime



    About 15 min. Later I dug the 1865 two cent piece.



    It was a fun hunt... I can wait to get this detector down..
    Thanks for looking guys...

    Very nice! I would be interested to hear what you might with your new machine find when you revisit your old sites.
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank

    Lodge Sent,
    It is one of my old sites.. I did not find anything the last 4 or 5 times I hunted it with my DFX.. This site has been pounded in the last 30 years.. By local .. so to some it up the CTX did a grate job....
