First weekend with the CTX ~ Gold and Multiple Silvers! + My First Seated!!

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

After I fried my ATP a couple weeks ago, I decided to take the plunge and buy the CTX.

I was able to take it out this weekend to break it in, So I met up with my buddy JCobb and we hit a local lake around 5am.

and within the first hour or so, I found a nice little 2gram womens 10K ring!..I was stoked! I know alot of it was probally luck, but its great getting a new machine and finding something the first day out.

The next day we found a small local road tear out, and thought it was a good idea to hunt, Midday in the direct sun..lol

I ended up scoring a Indian Head that i haven't gotten the date off of yet.

Then I got a nice 1904 V Nick, which came out glowing green. We took a break to get out of the heat, and not 10 mins after we were back at it.

I found a 1900 Barber Dime, a few feet from that I got a 1923 Merc..and just a few feet from that...I score my VERY FIRST SEATED!

I was in complete shock!, it came out solid back and was super thin. But it turned out to be a 1875 Seated Dime

My buddy ended up finding a 1883 V nick as well...this place just kept on giving. I think out of all those coins we only pulled 1 wheat each.

All I can say is this Machine Rocks! That seated dime hit so hard on the machine and gave a perfect 12-44.....where as the barber never budged from a 12-41.

But who cares about numbers!

A very good Weekend with the New ctx, Congratz on the fist Seated Dime, I know you been hunting coins etc, hard since I first started on T-net. & In that D-FW HEAT!

Just Wondering why did you fire the At-Pro.?
I been thinking about getting one for a couple years now ( for water) even shallow 6" water as I know eventually I would drop the XLT 0r Tejon in the "Drink" while digging a Target.
Did you get a Good Deal on the CTX , ?
Sorry for all the Questions.

Thanks Davers!

I loved my ATP...but the last time I went water hunting, just one wave went over the top and it just died on the spot. I figured it was because it was like 4 years old and probally wasnt sealed good.

I borrowed a buddies (ATP) the next day and the same thing happen to his...I never even submerged it. I heard there is an issue with the gasket on the faceplate.

If you do get one, I would make sure it stays out of the heat, and never leave in the car. I think thats how mine got screwed.

And yea, I bought the CTX from Big Boys hobbies and was VERY pleased with the price and how fast it got to me. I literally called them the day mine broke and by the time i got back home from the weekend trip it was there waiting.

Man I'm still in disbelief!!! What was crazy was the three silver dimes in a row. Like I said yesterday this weekend will be hard to beat. Congrats on the bucket list and personal banner find.

Congrats on those nice finds. It seems like you are learning the minelab quickly. What a way to break in a new detector.

Bet you had your AT Pro back and never bought the CTX. LOL
