Detector(s) used
AT Pro, Whites Coin Master Pro, Bounty Hunter Lonestar, Minelab CTX
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
The boy and I pounded our yard with the Bounty Hunter, Whites and then with AT Pros. Every time I swing the new CTX in the yard I find missed silver....Do I need to say "I Love" this machine. Lol
Out messing in the yard today a got a 7" deep hit telling me there was silver hiding, flip a plug and there laid a 43 merc. This merc is my worst looking silver ever, it's still silver though.
Got the kid out there swinging with me and he finds a couple wheats and a 50's something dog tag.
The kid goes inside to take a break, it was hot and sticky out there. He wasn't gone 2 minutes when I dig a OD nickel.
This makes two mercs, one OD nickel and the 43 Washington the kid forgot he buried late winter. That makes 4 silvers the new CTX has saved from the yard.

I'm beginning to think you like the ctx :laughing7:
 

So can you tell me do you like the CTX lol
 

Can I come detect your yard?!?
 

You say that CTX just pulls those OD NICKELS out of the ground like weeds? Hmmm
 

Congrats on sniffing out a few more that you previously missed! Great machine that CTX. Continued good luck to you!

You can't be serious are ya Al?
Its what was previously called a war nickel. Proclamation passed in honor of Old Dude OD. So OD Nickel. He has never found one and If he ever should it would be an automatic Banner. Or at least Ribbon. So never use that other word again. Penalties Apply

I remember my first OD
 

Deershed is it a Big misconception of the CTX that it pulls out targets that other machines missed. But isn't it a fact known only to CTX users that it is so technologically advanced that it actually puts new targets INTO the ground and you can program it for Silver OD Nickels Civil War etc... We want the Truth
 

ANTLERS I DONT KNOW HOW YOU ARE BEATING THE HEAT I WAS OUTSIDE PAINTING PICKETS ON THE DECK FOR AN HOUR STOPPED WIFE SAID WHATS WRONG I REPLIED NAUSEAS WENT AND LIE DOWN AT 10;00 AND GOT UP AT 6;OO WIPED ME OUT. BACK TO YOUR FINDS , SEE YOU GOT A MERC AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS NEAT. STAY REPLENISHED MY FREIND ........

It's all in what program you run. I did program the OD program this morning, and it works too.

Found the merc and OD nickel about 30 foot from the front porch. We'd swing for 15 mins. back in the AC for 30 mins. Lol It was hot today... Hope your feeling better.
 

Nice! Congrats!
So now you can find "OD" with your CTX? Lol! RUN OD! RUN!

Come on TBD... BA is trying to pull your leg. Don't fall for it. Everybody knows what an OD nickel is... if you look at the other forums, they call it an OD nickel too.

Alas, I noticed that OD has not chimed in on this, even though it says "OD" in the title, hopefully he will be along shortly.

DS, A heart felt congratulations on your continued success in the yard. It is very impressive how the Minelabs machine has made old places new again. I hope to one day soon to get a "real" machine. Best of luck to you and the boy. You two are something else!
 

Yes it seems that OD has been MIA on this. Maybe he's just holding back knowing that Friday is gonna be a Banner day for him

That could be the case, perhaps he is staying away to "tease" us... maybe?

DS is rocking that CTX. Minelabs makes the best machines! I'm a bit jelly...

If you would dust off that wallet CT and pry it open you can have one in a couple of days. You do know that they are programmable and they put goodies INTO the ground for you
