fogrider Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Took my new/used CTX out for its first hunt. This was a 1935 site I hit hard last Fall with a Nox 600. I was impressed with how the CTX rooted out coins-on-edge and those buried amongst the trash. '16 dime, '46 dime, '44 quarter, and 21 pennies. The '46 dime completed my collection of Canadian silver dimes from '38 to '68. I used the "User" button to cycle between the factory "coin" program (50 tones) and a custom program (5 tones, combined). The soil was wet, full of bottle caps and iron bits. Auto Sensitivity (+3) reduced the number of false signals. Response: "Normal". Target Separation: "Ferrous/coin". I didn't find the CTX's weight overly taxing on my old body. If anything, it encouraged me to slow my swing-rate a bit. Not a bad thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Nice finds. I like the old Canadian coins and designs. I find a few in northern Michigan. I've got some Canadian LC's. They come out of the ground in mint condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul (CA) Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Very nice, And congratulations completing the set with this recent 1946 dime. Canadian coins are neat, here in California I've only dug a few but each one was a special find. Congrats again! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit more like bronze, and tend to develop a nice green or light brown patina in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
