First day out with new ctx3030

Post by Les »

Hi all
My new ctx turnd up, had it set up and was out on the beach with it the next day after work. pulled up a few modern coins then after about half an hour pulled this nice little 18ct cold band with 3 very small sones in. all on factory settings, cant wait to tweek it a bit and see what it can really do. :D

Well found there Les. What a cracking start with your new machine. As a soldier I served at Ore Place which I think was rented by the Mod from some order of Monks. wish I could get back there for some detecting. ::g
