I've been on kind of a drought lately and have been super busy at work also. Haven't had much luck until today... in my yard! We have been playing with the CTX and I've changed settings a little. I have went over this spot 100 times... and figured my 5yr old could try to use the machine. He swung it, and yelled "dad! I found some gold for mom!". Now I figured... it's a pull tab or bottle cap.... but as he swung the coil.... it was super crisp and 12-38 solid. He dug the hole and pulled a FATTY INDIAN! I have never managed to find one despite having much older coins in my collection from years of Hunts. So... he has the bug now and wants a machine! We high fived and put it in peroxide to try and get a date. Best day in a while!!! Will add pics once it cleans up! I hope to post his first silver soon! Good luck and happy hunting!

Now, get that "FATTY INDIAN" mounted with the date your son found it and hang it up in his room!

Haha, I think I will set him up with my old ATP. I was pretty stunned we found the Indian. The area has had houses since the 1700s but everything has had fill brought in. We also got 2 wheats and about $3 in clad. He was more excited to find a clad quarter!
