Thanks for the info! I went out today and did some testing with the Barber half. I was able to confirm that the CTX does indeed have issues with big silver. It only really detected it at almost half the depth of what a silver dime did. But I did figure out that manually turning down the noise...

I've found several quirks with the CTX. One is this problem with large silver. Opening up to zero discrimination (open screen) makes little difference other than a slightly better chance of getting a chirp. Another issue I had was beach hunting some years back. Another hunter dug up a small...

I noticed that too. The CTX always seems to freak out and barely hit on halves. I was out with a couple of other former members here a few years back. We went to a camp site where I found a Walker, almost against a tree and only an inch deep, laying flat. Almost ignored the super weak signal...

I got out today for a couple hours trying a few new park sites with nothing found. So for the last 90 minutes or do I decided to hit a little plot about 2 blocks ftom home that has been pounded over the years as there's little to be found. It's an old 1 room 1857 church next to a cemetery with...

I can relate to the lack of finds. Been to so many sites, and found so much nothing. But lately I had ben trying the different target separation filters on the CTX trying to make them work. The whole machine seemed unresponsive and blah no matter what I tried. I figured out how to do a full...

Hey Tony, great to hear from you! I've looked around a bit and see other forums, and they seem to be pretty active. I know it's getting late in the season, but that again should expose more areas as the undergrowth clears up and fields get harvested. I personally hate Facebook groups, and...

I've been away from detecting and the group for a while due to personal reasons and working crazy hours. I finally got some detecting time while suddenly finding myself unemployed between job hunting and waiting for call backs, interviews, etc. When I was last here we had a thriving core...

Hey all, Got out today about an hour away from home and found a park that abutted up to the local historical settlement. The park was also part of the old farm, so I had hopes. Just past the area they filled to level a sports field I dropped my coil and on one of my first swings I hit a 12-34...

Thank you! One side is in great shape while the other is a bit crusty, but no complaints here!

Great finds! Never gotten a seated quarter myself, so can only imagine the thrill!

Thank you!

Wow, that's an amazing find! Love the history lesson as well as I've never seen one of those. I guess patience truly was a virtue in this case. Congrats!

Hi all, I know it's been a long while since I've had anything to post. Working crazy hours and such means little time to hunt. But sudden unemployment recently gave me an opportunity to get out for a bit. I found an old cemetery with stones dating back to the early 1800s-rare in my region...

Looks like one of those outdoor remote telephone ringer bells.
