Thanks for another fun hunt dave. Wish I would have been able to get there early and spend more time but I still had a great time and the food was great! Thanks to all involved.

Again thanks to Dave for the invite and organizing the event. Was envious of all the CTX machines that were swinging around, hope to own one in the future.
As a result of the rain over the past couple days, the ground was really forgiving on the wrist and shoulders. I'm kinda sore today, hate to imagine how I'd feel if the ground had been difficult.
With the exception of shallow quarter signals, for the most part I focused on deeper targets. Good finds seemed to ring out clear once the other targets surrounding them were removed, the etrac did a great job of working around the distractions. The 1st silver showed up around 7-8 inches deep as a Washington. Midday the two dimes were in the same hole, and unfortunately I gouged the face of the Barber. The last honker of the day turned up around 4:30 pm and was fairly deep, close to 12 inches in sandy soil. On that note I high-tailed it back to the staging area to share my good fortune, but was kinda surprised to see that I missed out on the chance to wish everyone a safe ride home.
Thanks again David, super glad I didn't choose to watch the Bears lose LoL...had a great time
That's a nice pile of silver.. Those come from barber field??

Sorry about that! I tried to catch everyone when I left but the fairgrounds is quite large!!!! Perhaps, next time, we can plan on meeting up for those that wish to leave! Glad you had fun and glad you found some good stuff! Also glad you were able to make it!
Wow congrats on the great coins. You did a heck of a good job sniffing out those coins in that target rich environment!!
Not a problem, don't take that the wrong way. It was just so nice out and the conditions were perfect, expected the detecting to go on until sundown haha.
Thank you. Next time, if you don't mind, I'd enjoy if you could demonstrate how your CTX detects multiple targets. It seems like an awesome machine and it really interests me. And super congrats on your pristine Barber quarter, that's something to be proud of for sure!
I'd like to see that too. There was no shortage of manufacturer trash-talking going on.Yea for sure! Heck I would love to go back and forth on targets to see how each machine reacts verses the other. We will have to do it some time.

No pics right now of my finds but I found a part of an old latch and a pretty old padlock with part of the key broken off. Trying to get it cleaned up. Uncovered a few markings so I hope to get a date on it. The surface clad was everywhere over by the rides so I the $11.56 in clad I found was at least enough for the gas and a drive-thru stop on the way home.
It was a fun day (with really good eats) but as of Tuesday morning I'm still pretty sore. Can't wait to do it again!
