I recently purchased a previously owned CTX3030. Today i took it out for it's trial run. I think i have it set up correctly. I hit the old fair grounds in town. They had just paved an area in front of one of the old buildings. It looks like they took about 4 of dirt away on the fence side. Wish...

Anyone or everyone that uses the CTX3030. Is it easier on the arm than the E-trac? Is it better balanced i guess is my question. I get sore on the top of my arm above my elbow when i swing my E-trac alot. Just wondering. GL/HH

Today i got out for a short hunt. Got $2.11 (i added a nickel i got in my yard yesterday) and along with the $2.11 i found someones attempt at a coin ring! It's a 1945 quarter turned into a ring (sort of). They had been doing construction in the area and i think they moved this up closer to the...

It happens alot i know. Today i got .75 in clad so i was leaving. On the way to the truck i hit my fourth .925 ring. The gold bracelet looked good coming out of the ground but no markings. :-\ GL/HH

Today i hit a new park but all i found was a little clad and swarms of tiny vampires so i split. I had already decided to hit the park that i had my best silver day at last year on my way back. Last year i got 4 silvers there in one day. One rosie and 3 walkers! I didn't hold out much hope for...

When will the U.S. do like Canada and get rid of pennies (and dollar bills too). Some days i feel like i'm single handedly trying to thwart a plan to remove pennies from circulation by some evil doctor who tosses handfuls all over Americas parks and schools. I want to find $1 and $2 coins when i...

Hit an old park in the big city today. It was disapointing. I did however find my first pocket watch there today. And a broken I-pod. So i headed to another park i hit once without much success. It was pretty disapointing too! I did find a cap gun some pieces of copper and a bit of clad. Then on...

Today i hit the track/football area of the school where i got three silver dimes two silver rings and the class ring. The bleachers are older and there is grass underneath. The steps have open spaces where coins fall through. Gas money found totay. $15.91 GL/HH

Back to the park i finished on Wednesday. Got .93 in clad and a gold ring (that's adjustable) >:/ That was the old part of the park. So today i hit around the tennis courts and ball diamond. First good signal with the E-trac was a nice .925 ring. So i went back to the truck and traded the E-trac...

Today i hit a park and got one worn 1926 merc.

After my disappointing hunt of the old house yesterday. I decided to hit the park in town that the other detectorist from out of town hunted. I had to pick up several more screw caps and pull tabs and one of those ballasts for a flourescent light that he left on the surface after he dug them...

There is an old empty house that i pass every trip up to my parents house. So the other day as i was on my way back i saw a guy dumping lime from a big dumptruck. I stopped and asked if he knew who owned the property. He gave me directions to the owners house not far from where we were. So i...

Yesterday i saw a guy detecting around our local park so i stopped to ask how he was doing. He told me he got a barber dime and a standing quarter so far. Well, i figured if anyone was gonna get silver in MY town it was gonna be me! So today i hit the same park he hit and i came out with a...

Hit a new park yesterday for about 5 and a half hours. Started out with a bit of clad and five buhmillion beaver tails :shocked04:verreaction:. Then i hit a rosie and that re-energized me. Next good find was a sterling ring. In the picture it's the one on the right. The one on the left i found...

I tried different things to make my 11 pro coil better for hunting plowed fields or areas with stubble or weeds. The frisbee didn't fit and i didn't want to pay the higher price for what used to be called a giant frisbee. (it was about 14 around and usually multi rainbow psycodelic colored) Then...

I call it my first park because i found my first V nickel, shield nickel, two cent piece and seated coin (1877-cc dime) there. Well, today it gave me my first I.H. penny from the ground. I got one from the lake last year. I decided to open up my discrimination a little and it hit this 1881 I.H...

:omg: I was watching a Bigfoot coil on E-bay the one for DFX,MXT and M6. It sold for $621.01. :omg: That's the price of a used detector. I'm keeping mine!!!! It's my quarter rake. But i'm not sure how long it would take to find $621.00 in quarters. :shocked03:

Looks like the portly man is back with his crew.
