X-terra 305 & CTX 3030 finds

[Mackka]

I cannot believe your consistent finds mate, very well done. I think I should take my tector out of the box

Big morning swing at the 'oval in the hills', the detector was just talking to me today.

$42 in spendables, pennies and few small junker pendants and 12 silvers.

My first One Shilling and 4 florins (had 2 in a hole again)

Only stopped because my arm could no longer hold on ?

 

[Heatho]

Cracking hunt, well done.

Been quite a while since I've bagged several florins in a day, silvers are thinning out around here because I've found most of them. Though I did get a couple on a beach this morning but they aren't much to look at......

 

[Jaros]

Great hunt. I keep wondering how people lose so many coins.

I know the feeling, this is only place I have found more then 1 or 2 silvers (probably about 30-40 at this oval now)....going to make sure I leave none behind. Finding the Six Pences all have a 12.33-12.35 ID which I ignored the first few hunts.

You are on fire with the Silvers

Nice Shilling - only 1 million minted

As mentioned , same same , have also found very few spots in suburbia that ive found 2 or 3 Silvers at the most

Whilst in some semi - rural country areas more pop up

Go the CTX !

Nice work

Great hunting.... nice to see four florries turn up. 8)
:Y: :Y:

 

[Goldpick]

That would have been a memorable hunt, can't complain about the lack of silvers - well done. :Y:

Safe to say there would be lots left, still have about 30% of ground to cover, then will go over it again. Found most of the silvers today in areas I had been over. Maybe coming from a different way and also over time have been removing other targets which may have made me miss some. Ground is very mineralised so been playing around with sensitivity/Volume gains etc and digging more iffy and high tone signals now also which has been successful.

I'm in Vic also, might have to have a CTX gathering one day :Y:

Get that detector out!

First cash in of coins at the bank today since having the CTX for 3 months. Only cashed in the $1 & $2 coins. Gave them a quick wash in vinegar as they were all dirty. The coin machine at CBA accepted them all no issues but a stray new zealand dollar.

1968xt on the 705 whom I hunt with has a similar amount himself.

Awesome Detectorist, Thats more dollars than I would have found in nuggets on the Goldfields for a season, well done :Y:

Cheers

[Heatho]

Thanks Kev,

Looks like I dropped to the knee 1031 times to collect that haul, thought the only time I'd take a knee was when I proposed to the wife.

In saying that I'd trade all that to find some gold nuggets (which I haven't) or pre-decimal silvers any day, as to me that is a greater enjoyment of the hobby.

This just makes me feel less guilty about upgrading from the Go- Find 40 to a CTX :lol:

 

[flyrodder]

well done mate here in SA normally takes me a year to get that amount

[The Scrounger]

WOW!

It doesn't look like that much but the receipt tells the truth.

Sweet :Y:

 

[Goldpick]

Mmm, Equinox 800 in a jar! A very tidy sum, now to spend it.

 

[Ship of fools]

In three months, WOW!
I think I need someone to show me how to get the most out of mine!
I think I have about $30 in spendable since Christmas.

I'm very tempted, if the secondhard market for the CTX didn't crash like it has since the Equinox came out I would sell it and get one.
