DOD - pending how the war nickel is in the ground, I usually am getting a 12-14 one way and a 12-18to21 the other way, but it just sounds solid. Kind of weird, but I feel like I can call out a war nickel when I get over one OR maybe I say that to myself before I get all the pull tabs too. In all seriousness, it does come a across a bit different even though the numbers are the same as a pull tab. The pull tabs where the beaver tail is folded onto the ring is the one that gets me. Every year I feel like I make leaps and bounds better with the CTX. My 8th year with it now. I still get most of those signals if the ground is easy to dig. Good luck out there.
