    Great first Real hunt with the CTX

    Went out with my buddy Roy to a really nice wooded area that we've hunted in the past that had yielded some silver. This was a nice 5 hour hunt on a beautiful day last Saturday and it was nice to give the CTX a good spin in a quality area. The hunt netted some really nice coins. I got 4 Barbers, 2 indians, a V nickel, and couple pieces of old jewelry. I also got a mercury dime on a short hunt on Friday. The quarters were 1894, 1894 o, 1895, and the barber dime was 1897. Roy got 4 silver also. He got a barber quarter, 2 barber dimes, and a merc. Great hunt and the coins were in great shape! Here's the pics!

    By the way, I really like the CTX. I've taken to it really quick and I really like the 4 tone ID. Thus far, I've got 7 silver, 3 Large Cents, V nickel, Buffalo, bunch of wheats, and an old cracker jack token.

    Grove...old one...just a wooded hillside now. One would never guess anything would have been there. Still kinda baffles me why people would have went there. There's much nicer areas nearby.

    Huh.
    I guess the old saying stands... treasure is where you find it.
