My first silver with the CTX and a little gold from February

[Beach Papa]

Hunted yesterday 7 hours. I was pleased overall with the hunt as most finds were 12"+ deep. Managed my first silver with the new CTX. Just a little Claddish ring but it is a keeper. No gold yet for the CTX. I got $3.39 in change, couple of lead weights and a junk chain and cross. Last month at another beach I found my first gold for 2013 with an Aquasound Detector. Just a little 10k white gold with sapphires and diamond chips. It is actually corroded and pitted some so it was in Davie Jones locker for a while. Still very sanded in at all the local beaches around here, so gold may be elusive until new depositors start getting into the water. Happy Hunting to all. Beach Papa

You had a much better day than I have had some days out here on the Southern California beaches. You mentioned 12"+ depths on many of your finds. I was wondering if you are using the standard 11" coil? I also have the CTX 3030, and am still getting used to all of its features. I bought all three coils and am still experiementing with them. Sadly, many of our beaches were "replentished" with dredged sand this year, which really ruined much of the metal detectiong for the time being. Good Luck!

Wow! Those Sapphires really jump out at ya.

I was using the 13" x 17" coil on the silver ring. I am still learning how to pin point on the big coil. On the sapphire I was using an 11" Aquasound land coil in the wet sand. I found the sapphire at night, and I think it was only 6" - 8" deep. Happy Huting. Beach Papa
