I hunted a couple of private yards this morning, first yard gave up the buffalo and 4 wheats. Next yard yielded the sterling silver Jesus medallion and the other silver piece?? The medallion came in at 4/41 3/42and weighs 11 grams the other thing rand at 1/41 2/41 and weighs 12 grams the thing had the familiar tarnish just like most of the silver around here. Not sure what it is, but I found it within 20' of Jesus. The last place I hunted was an old baseball field, there I found 3 wheats, the rosy and last but not least the half dollar at 4" The low reading and color threw me off. At first I thought I had an old Mexican coin, most come out the ground that dark. I only hunted the field for a couple of hours but plan on going back early tomorrow. I can mark the half off my to find list for this year. It's almost a year since I found my last Walker. Overall not a bad day with the CTX. I ran Auto sens at +3, open screen, fast recovery, high trash with combined tones, picks the coins outta the trash with no problem.
