First hunt with CTX finds silver!

[roundhat]

My daughter, son and I went out for a quick hunt today even though it was about 40 degrees and half way raining and snowing. I had just recently received my detector from Bart at Big Boy Hobbies but due to weather I haven't been able to get out and hunt. I couldn't take it any longer and went today. I was hunting on a sea wall behind what used to be a school. In the past I have found some 40's nickels and a wheat penny. We were getting ready to be done and I was making a final pass before heading to the truck. I heard a nice tone and it was reading about 3 inches or so. I dug in and popped the plug out. I then scooped some loose dirt out of the hole and I saw the edge of the mud encased ring. At first I thought it was a shotgun shell top or a kid's ring being that I haven't had a detector for a few years and the fact that I am learning the CTX. Once we
Knocked the dirt out of the finger hole of the ring I could read sterling-espo. We were pretty excited, so I just had to post what we found.

Roundhat,
Nothing like "The First Find" being Silver! Well done, and congrats to the kids as well for braving such weather with you. I've heard some good things about the CTX and I look forward to being entertained with your finds................63bkpkr
