Finally, first gold in 30 years, the curse is broken - also a tiny silver ring

[DeepseekerADS]

Is there something wrong with TNet tonight? I've been trying to post pictures and it freezes up each time. I'll try to post the pictures again later or tomorrow.

Indian Steve & I went out for about 3 1/2 hours today. I dug up this ear thingy and walked over & showed it to Steve. There's no marking on it, but Steve immediately said it was gold. So I acid tested it first with the 14k solution and it failed. Then I tested it with the 10k solution and it passed beautifully. It weighs only 1.42 grams, but it's gold. Praise the Lord! Now that must open the door to more, right?

Also found a tiny silver ring, weighs in at .89 grams. Plus 29 clad coins for $1.85

Now to send this and will once again post pictures.

YeeHaa!

Congratulations on the gold! It's on now.
Were you using the CTX?

No, I was using the Tejon. It's a very quick beep & dig versus the CTX makes you think too much! So I didn't get any FE/CO numbers.

I'll pass it by the CTX tomorrow and let you know what it says.

Thank you Tom. The last gold I found was a 10k ring in the Summer of 1987 at a tot lot swing set in Plymouth, Mass. It fit the wife = immediately

Congrats, Deepseeker!

I have ruined DeepseekerADS by letting him use my Tejon a while back. Next thing I know, he has bought his own. Will he ever use the CTX again? Now I have some serious competition! Congrats!!!!!

Okay, the truth from this end. The CTX is an incredible machine of science. And that science makes you stop at every single signal looking at the screen, the numbers. All the while I was doing that, I dug very little trash, still digging by the sounds in the ground and of course looking at the numbers. Meanwhile Steve and his Tejon dug 2 to 3 as many times the targets. He dug a lot of trash. But he didn't miss any of the good stuff.

And today I dug the most trash of any hunt since I returned to the hobby, more than double my 31 good targets today. I'm hunting with the Tejon just like I hunted in the early 1980's, by sound. The more you dig in a hunt, the far better chance you have of digging up something good. To me, the Tejon is back to the basics.

I'll still use the CTX, but I know better than going up against Steve with his Tejon for another butt whipping

LOL Awesome job! Just listen to the sound and dig...I have no doubts you would have passed on the ear ring if you were using the CTX.

 

[Loco-Digger]

I am so glad to hear you dug your some gold. I bet you were stoked when it passed the test. Ya re-broke the ice, they should come more often now.

 

[scruggs]

Nice! What a hunt, both gold and silver. Congratulations!

First, thank you for a great machine!

And you're right, yeah I'll look at the CTX numbers for it tomorrow, but seeing the size of the gold, a wire thingy kinda, I may very well have passed over that target before using the CTX and passed it up - a familiar area.
