Wasn't doing the Pequot hunts today due to scheduling conflicts, so I decided to hit the local holes that have been good to me lately and have produced silver with the CTX and the GPX. I wanted to beat the rain so I started early. Now, I know I can't keep the GPX :crying02: But until I have to give it back, I'm going to test it in the cellar holes when I can. Today I was using a 12x15" Elliptical DD coil and was trying to see how well the machine discriminates iron. I hit the first hole where the CTX found that 1809 Draped Bust dime. The Discrimination works fairly well if anything is in the 4-6" range. The little pieces of iron still fool the machine though. But all you have to do is dig a bit and get closer to the iron and it will then blank (null) it out. It's kinda tricky at first, but doable. I dug a bunch of possible iron targets just to make sure they were iron. They were. Ended up with 3 musket balls, 5 buttons a small buckle and an aluminum wedge. Never seen an aluminum wedge before 
I also got this screamer at a whopping 3" :lol: It's worn but I'll take it. Over the years this site has given up a total of 4 silvers, more than any other cellar hole I have done. Sometimes I miss the target ID numbers from the CTX / E Trac, but it is kind of fun not knowing what you are going to find. Brings back the old days :daydream:
