Hi guys,
I got out today to try out my new CXT 3030
I liked it a lot ..I dug a lot less trash and I did pull two coins
The first coin with my new CTX found was this 1877 seated dime

About 15 min. Later I dug the 1865 two cent piece.

Very nice! I would be interested to hear what you might with your new machine find when you revisit your old sites.

Lodge Sent,
It is one of my old sites.. I did not find anything the last 4 or 5 times I hunted it with my DFX.. This site has been pounded in the last 30 years.. By local .. so to some it up the CTX did a grate job....

Excellent recoveries from a pounded spot, a seated and a 2 center are great coins. Looking forward to more posts.

Wow! Talk about two great finds! That seated dime is in terrific shape too! :loveit:

The two-cent piece doesn't look like it has much wear either.
