After I fried my ATP a couple weeks ago, I decided to take the plunge and buy the CTX.
I was able to take it out this weekend to break it in, So I met up with my buddy JCobb and we hit a local lake around 5am.
and within the first hour or so, I found a nice little 2gram womens 10K ring!..I was stoked! I know alot of it was probally luck, but its great getting a new machine and finding something the first day out.
The next day we found a small local road tear out, and thought it was a good idea to hunt, Midday in the direct sun..lol
I ended up scoring a Indian Head that i haven't gotten the date off of yet.
Then I got a nice 1904 V Nick, which came out glowing green. We took a break to get out of the heat, and not 10 mins after we were back at it.
I found a 1900 Barber Dime, a few feet from that I got a 1923 Merc..and just a few feet from that...I score my VERY FIRST SEATED!
I was in complete shock!, it came out solid back and was super thin. But it turned out to be a 1875 Seated Dime
My buddy ended up finding a 1883 V nick as well...this place just kept on giving. I think out of all those coins we only pulled 1 wheat each.
All I can say is this Machine Rocks! That seated dime hit so hard on the machine and gave a perfect 12-44.....where as the barber never budged from a 12-41.
But who cares about numbers!
