Got out for a few hours with my brand new Minelab CTX 3030. I'm new to Minelab, so the sounds and numbers are foreign to me. I hunted most of the day in "Old Coins Old Site" mode, which I thought was appropriate for the land we were on (house built in 1830s). It's a target separation machine! Got hardly any junk too. Overall got 24 pennies (one wheatie, rest Lincolns), a couple other clad coins, and some relics including a headless horseman figurine (one day I'm sure he had his head).

Need help ID'ing this pin/button? It says "CARR FAST CO" on the reverse. I was able to find out they made knifes (Swiss Army style) during WWII, but can't find much else on this piece. When unearthed the plate looked silver color and the cross gold. Doesn't seem like noble metals, but it's not magnetic!

Here's a video of my first ever dig with the CTX, and below are pics:

Oh, I also found this... nothing like being fooled into hoping I unearthed a ring!
