The Beast is what I call my new CTX and today I took it out on its first CW hunt and was very pleased. It was a great way to end the year. I have hunted this ground many, many times with the Atpro and it's been awhile since I had a pocket full of keepers like this. I found eleven bullets to include round balls, 58 and 69 mini balls and a Ringtail Sharps. Also found five Eagle buttons and the best find of the day was a Kepi buckle that was eight inches. The bullets were between 6 and 9 inches. I'm really happy with my new machine and hope to get out tomorrow if the weather permits. Thanks for looking
Happy New year to all!! IMG_20161231_150640998.jpg IMG_20161231_153457783.jpg

Not sure what you have. Can you give us some info on where you found them and the history of the place. They appear to be more modern to me but I may be wrong.

I found them in the Presidio of San Francisco. It used to be a military base but that ended in 89 I believe.

oh okay thanks! Is it hard to tell if they are old or not? Or do you need the exact measurements to know for sure?

First hunt in a well searched place! I think your learning curve is going to be pretty short with your new toy :)

Congrats my friend!
