CTX 3030 finds by Ramjet

Good luck with the ctx it should do well and the weight you do get used too . Just purchased the bigger 17x13 coil, will see how that goes .

Had a quick swing after night shift. I really shouldn't detect after night work because I cannot concentrate. :8
It's a complex detector and I don't learn anything when I am so tired. One shift to go.... 8.(

I did manage a 1900 half penny.

Still solid targets regardless, is that an eagle?
Love the 1900 number

Haha. I had no clue what that piece was but no you mention it I see a bird sitting on a perch. Thanks. Unfortunately I broke the top off while trying to clean it.

Won't take too long to learn mate once you get to have a few days it with a clear head.

Nice HP Rod, interesting how the patina is slowly peeling off.

Another short hunt with the CTX today. Shift work sux. Mrs RJ had a bit of running around to do so she dropped me off in a park for an hour.
This is an old park that is going to have houses built in part of it. I was not happy to see that work has already started with an area fenced off and digging under way. Many treasures will be lost.

He did look a bit agro so I left him alone but he stayed in that stance long after I moved away.

 

[silver]

Probably still shaken from a stirring up by kids long gone by the time you got there !

 

[silver]

Hope they dropped some coin. :lol:

 

[Heatho]

Well done mate, is the pendant sterling silver?

No hallmarks and it looks like it may be silver plated.

 

[Heatho]

Doh!

 

[Wadey]

Old grain store here being ripped up...all fenced and dug up....Shame too ! Nice hunt RJ

 

[Ramjet]

Put a few hours in at the same site as my last hunt. It's a huge and well flogged site. The same place we had a group hunt that Heatho traveled down for. I was with another local and he did pretty well with a florin, 2 x Rams heads and a thrip for his silver tally. The little tractor was his find but he knows I like the toy cars so gave it to me.

My best finds were an 1854 large penny and an 1853 Tea Stores token. Pretty happy with my results but I must say the CTX hasn't done anything to impress me yet. The GPS and saving the details and location of the finds is a cool toy but my other detectors would have pinged every target today. I know it's still early to be bagging it.

I have included examples of the large penny and token so you can see what they once looked like.

Nice hunting RJ, that toasted 1911 (I think) 6d was in awful good nick when it was dropped, the star looks good from here ! 8)

 

[Sandta]

What kind of miracle are you expecting ?

Haha. I don't know mate. So many people rave on about it being THE detector to own. It hasn't found anything my other machines wouldn't find. I guess I want a thrip at 2 feet. LOL I think it will be my beach detector, just need that big coil. Oh wait... I bought one today.
