Deep CW Bullets

[RiverRat3]

Went to a spot that has been pounded for 20+ years with my GPX 4500. I have not used this machine a lot but the conditions were right. Once getting the signals down I started digging bullets over a foot down. Only problem is deep iron nails sound the same as a bullet. Needless to say it’s exhausting digging deep holes but I turned up some keepers and a flat button. The Enfield is stamped “57” in the bottom. I’ll probably go back and try some more once the grass is cut. I also spotted a broken arrowhead tip on the ground. The arrowhead was a heart breaker. I’ve picked up a couple points and a tool from this location in the past. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Nice bullet finds! I've only found a couple Enfields with a mark inside them they are always a welcome find.

I have postponed, rethought and procrastinated on buying a gpx for just the reason you lay out in your post. Yes. It is good at going deep BUT.. it likes nails and iron. I don't know if I want to dig many 18" holes for a nail. I guess with current technology- as the depth ability grows, the resolution weakens and that is just the way it is.

I purchased the GPX because I was able to attend a DIV. It was a great experience and good time but I primarily use my CTX in the area I hunt but the GPX has been able to grab some relics at a great depth.

Congrats on all the lead,, it's no fun to find broken arrowheads.
Maybe next time.

Not knowing how well a GPX4500 is with pinpointing, but a posthole digger would be faster with the deep holes.
