This year has been a good one so far last year i had 4 hammered coins and plenty of coppers but December i treated myself to a 13" coil for the deus this has helped me find 14 hammereds and a south ferriby gold full stater. my friend had recently purchased a ctx and has been trying to persuade me to get one by i was having none of it. After 3 months of him saying how good it was last Saturday i made the plunge and bought one. Sunday was my first outing he tweaked a few settings and told me what to listen out for. we went onto his permission where in the 90.s there was a hoard of hammereds come off.
after a hour or so we only had a few buttons and pieces of lead to show for our efforts so i decided to head down to the road side of field 10 mind in i had a low grunt but was only 3 inches i thought this has to be foil imagine my joy when out popped a tiny little Elizabeth the 1st hammered get in my 1st hammered with the ctx something my mate had been waiting for and still is with his ctx lol. we carried on for a hour more then decided to call it a day. you could imagine the banter from my side on the way home.
