The day was foggy and I had nothing to do so I decided to grab my CTX and go detecting a early 1900's picnic site that I discovered 4 years prior to this day. I just received the 12x15 coil for the CTX so wanted to test it out on my completely hunted out site. So I packed up my gear and my favourite hunting partner Gus (he is a German shephard) And headed to my site. When I arrived I decided to fire up the camera and start going along. First signal was deep iron that fooled me, I thought to myself oh it is going to be one of those days is it. As I carried on my next signal was a mixed signal but definitely repeatable so I dug down and out pops this yellow coin. I was unsure if it was gold as I have been fooled so many times in my 20 year detecting career.
I started shaking and getting excited as I read 1900 on the coin. Pinpointer was still going off in the whole and out pops a amazing silver quarter I'm thinking that has to be a gold coin. I start shaking uncontrollably. As I stand up to scan the whole with my detector to see if any signals are still in the whole I get another hit. At the same time I could not find my pinpointer. I said to the camera where could it have gone??. Turns out I buried my pinpointer on all the excitement haha. All this was on live video and many people have enjoyed watching it. I am truly blessed to have found a gold coin in my hobby. Cheers chad
