I managed to get out for a short hunt at my honey hole. Again I am amazed at the separation I'm getting with the CTX. I managed 4 wheats, a 1920 Merc and about a dollar in clad. All this from ground I've covered several times with the Etrac. I would say that 90% of theses finds had some form of...

It finally rained here last night and the temp. was normal today so I thought I would get out for a few hours. The first coin I dug was my 50th silver for the year and it was a 1950-D Rosie. I also found an 1883 Indian and three wheats 10, 15-D and 19. Not a bad hunt for July.

I hit my honey hole for my last two hunts and came away with a few keepers. The first hunt was only about 1.5 hours with my 7yo son and we found 4 wheats and about a $1.25 in clad. The second hunt produced a 1904 Barber dime and about a $ 1.30 in clad. The two spots I chose in the grove were...

I would first like to comment on the physical side of the CTX. The construction of the CTX is as good as it gets. Minelab defiantly put a lot of thought into the design and materials. I have been using Doc's Swingy Thingy for several years now and honestly thought I would be using it for the...

I met up for the first time with forum member Darren aka Milco for a hunt at a spot he had had some success with in the past. He wanted to see if my Etrac could sniff out a few more silvers among the iron infested ground. I disapointed him by showing up with my new CTX as green as could be about...

Well it is here and set up for my first hunt. I've read and reread the manual watched every video I could find and checked out a few other forums. So here is my set-up for those that are interested. Etrac users take note of the many similar settings. I would like to make a few comments before...

I got the tracking information for my new CTX 3030, expected delivery of 5-29. I feel like a kid waiting for Santa except it is the UPS guy. Thank You Andrew from New England Detectors for a great buying experience.

Minelab CTX 3030 Extended Video - The Future of Discovery

I hunted a wooded area that has some walking trails running through it and didn't have much luck except for a piece of natural copper. I have found these several times here in Wisconsin, it is more prevalent in the north and Upper Michigan but the glaciers did drag a few pieces down this way...

Here is a new Minelab video on the CTX 3030. It looks like a well throughout design, very nice. http://www.minelab.com/videos

I decided to return for one last time to the beach that had some trenching done and I managed to save 3 more silver, a few wheats and a couple $ in clad.

I returned to a Catholic school yard that I hunted a few weeks and scored another silver, a Merc. The buckle type thing I think is a suspender buckle. What do you think? One picture is with the clasp closed and one is open. I also found 3 wheats and $2.74 in clad. I showed aicture of the clad...

On Tuesday I decided to do some water hunting at Milwaukes largest and most popular beach. It is about 45 minutes from my house so I do not get there often. As I was approaching the beach I could see there was some construction going on. There was a large backhoe digging a trench 4 feet deep and...

Here is some more photos and info about the New CTX3030. The full details will be released at 830pm eastern time on Thursday the 10th at this address. http://www.ctx3030.com/ The MSRP has not been released, not even to dealers. So everything on the net about the price is pure speculation. This...

I went for a short hunt today and got silver #35 for the year a 1944 Washington. I also found a 1927 wheat, $.79 in clad, a pin and a broach.

I went to check out a new park on Tuesday and after 2 hours of only $1 in clad I gave up on it. I really thought this park had potential but the lack of clad told me it had been hunted a lot. So to try and save the day I spent my last 3 hours at my go to spot the old picnic grove. As usual it...

A few weeks ago I found a gold class ring from 1976 with the initials in it. You would think it would be easy to find the owner since the school is in the district that I work in. Well it has been anything but easy. I actually have a friend and excoworker who was in high school with the guy so...

I returned to the ballfield that gave me six silvers last week and managed to find another one. I've come to the conclusion that this field has been hunted before. There are very few wheats and all the deep coins I've found have been somewhat iffy signals. This dime was almost like a piece of...

Today was a rain day so I cleaned the garage and emptied my trash buckets from last season. This is about 1 1/4 5 gallon buckets. A couple years ago I got in the habit of saving all my trash until the end of the season. It is weird but fun to see it all together.
