Finally got out for a short hunt last night. Got some new permissions on some lots and curb strips so I had about and 1 1/2 hours before dark so I loaded up the CTX3030 and headed out.
Very first coin I hit was a 1963 Washington. NICE!! As mainly a coin hunter I always consider it a successful hunt when I can score a silver. I had not been out since Sept.10, but that's two short hunts in a row with a silver. I also scored a 1958 wheatie. I was really cherry picking since I didn't have much time but I am encouraged to go back now. I have to believe there are more old coins laying around there.
I was running the CTX on Coins, Ferrous Coin, +3. None of these coins were over 3-4" DEEP. The 1963 Washington was only about 2" deep.

Very nice report Jerr . Very promising site considering the shallow coins still in place . Odds are good it remains undetected 👍
Love the display of all the big girls also. No offense to Big Ben . 😎

So good to see you getting out for a hunt here and there.

Thanks Dew, it is finally cooling off outside so this old fat man can get out and play. I have to laugh. When I asked the owner for permission, the first thing out of his mouth was have at it but its been hunted many times. lol. Its hard to miss a quarter at 2" for anybody hunting that area. So, I seriously doubt if its been hunted very hard AND, AND, AND obviously not with a Minelab !!!!! COIN MAGNETS !!!
 
Nice hunt, jerr-man! Gotta love those curbstrips - I’m amazed at how often the good stuff turns up relatively shallow on a good strip. Just got a nice IHP today myself only about 2” down on a curbstrip during a short hunt. Always makes me wonder when good stuff shows up shallow - is it virgin ground, or did someone just skip it because they assumed it was modern “junk” or clad :?:
