I was recently invited to participate in WWATS (World Wide Association of Treasure Seekers) Rally held in Antlers, Oklahoma. More info at www.wwats.org. I’m not a rally hunter, but welcomed the idea of meeting other hunters and having a chance to have some fun. So I packed up the CTX 3030 and headed out.
The first hunt was a night hunt. The targets were planted on top of the ground. We were not allowed to use a flashlight or lighted displays. Even the pinpointer lights were taped over. So, I adjusted the volume gain to 2, to keep from hitting any deeper targets, lowered the sensitivity, and ran in a Combined/ferrous coin program. I had the conductive lines 10 though the 14 open and the rest discriminated. Knowing silver dollars and halves hit on the twelve line, I was confident I was not going to miss anything good. I also attached the CTX 06 Smart Coil to help aid in pinpointing in the dark. It made quick work of finding the coins and prize tokens that were everywhere. I did carry the PRO-FIND 25 just in case I was having trouble. More than a few times I would come up on a hunter who was struggling to locate their find and would hand them the PRO-FIND 25. I won several prize packs including bags and a nice 1867 Shield nickel in a case.
