Barber dime and lots of sweat !!!

[Diggin Dude]

My second hunt today with the Minelab CTX 3030, a hot and sticky day today here in New York.

The only significant find is a nice 1908 barber dime.

I'm still trying to get used to the Minelab dual number target IDs. Tried my own custom program today with a lot of discrimination for finding coins only in trashy areas.

Enjoy the photos no pictures of clad and junk today, had to escape a thunderstorm that came up on me quickly.

Good luck this weekend everyone !

That's a sweet little dime you got there. I have watched videos of guys using the minelab machines and the two numbers confuse the heck out of me....

Sure is pretty and yes, it was very humid today but the rain missed us.

where'd you find the dime at?

I wished I had that kind of luck today.

If you ground balance correctly and run the same program and set-up the target IDs are pretty accurate. When I hit a silver dime they will run about 12.44 or so. A clad dime will run the same and a penny will run 12.42. A quarter will hit around 12.46. It is just hard to tell if it is a clad or silver coin. There is a trick that Dr. Tones does where he holds the pinpoint button down and does a 90 degree swing and the numbers will jump up to the 13s' I have done this on occasion and I have guessed correctly when I hit silver. A penny that seems to be running a little high will drop sometimes down to the 11s' when you do this trick.

Nice find and yes, the humidity was brutal yesterday. Met a couple of friends to detect at 6:30 and by 7:00 we were soaked in sweat. It was easily one of the worst days of the summer. Can't decide if you had a "sweet" find or a "sweat" find.

Your number Ids are the same as what I was getting. I was doing that 90degree swing and noticed the 13.46 changed to 12.46 on pinpoint. I thought I remember the silver dime ringing at 13.46 and staying on that number Id for the 90 degree pinpoint swing.

Thank you for your reply, I know I'm on the right track at least.
