Finally startin to free up some time for hunting......
I shot out to a park I had cleaned out the past two summers with stock coil, so I thought I'd give it shot with the big coil....Right off the bat I sniffed out a deep penny I had missed before.....just a wheat, but I was optimistic thinking for sure I'd eke out another deep old silver but alas ,it was not to be....
So , despite by now having been awake for 26 hours, I decided to have a crack at my other go-to spot.
Still swinging the 17, I hit a couple semi-deep targets that were pennies. I had a couple signals that just didn't seem to be reading all that clearly, and I wasn't getting any 10 inch signals like I had expected, so I swapped out coils and went back to stock.
I finally latched onto a juicy signal at 9 inches....9-44, 12-44......but very scratchy, and it was just a quick chirp for the most part......
I'm still a bit baffled by my CTX, it used to scream at 10+ inch dimes....Today two of them sounded just alike ....I almost passed them by.....I recorded the screenshots and the recovery of the first coin .....still impressed to go down 8-9 and get it , but I definitely used to get em easier before.......Its been my theory that the battery pack is starting to lose its punch....I was thinking that the alkaline pack was hitting deeper, but I can't keep feeding it 10 dollar bills every time I hunt .......
anyway, here is the recording of the first dime which I thought was a bit of an iffy signal....if anyone has any ideas holler at me .....maybe I need to change up my settings ......
