I was hunting a peach orchard at an old house place this past weekend with my CTX 3030 when I had the best coin hunting find of my life, so far.

The grass was about knee deep in the 70+ acre pasture and the nails and other iron pieces in the ground were causing quite a few nulls when I got that nice high pitch. I cut a huge plug to the full depth of my shovel and when I lifted it out and dropped it on the ground two silver dollars fell off the bottom of the plug.

I've been using Minelab detectors for many years and they never stop amazing me! Back in 2009, my X-TERRA 50 found me a New England Oak tree coin, a find of a lifetime.

Recently, I purchased a Safari and took it to a farm I've searched year after year and the finds are few and far between.

You just got to love the FBS Minelab offers on some detectors. My Safari keeps on giving and giving.

One hot spot I found was great one day, then nothing a couple of days later. Then a few more days pass, I go back then wham, these nice rings and chains!

The Figaro chain is 17 grams, while the other two are 4.5 grams and will not show up on other detectors.

Safari prevails!

Hit the bay again today.

Things started out a little slow and I move east they start to pick up slowly. The day ended up being another great spin – I like it.

As I was getting ready to leave the fast man stopped by and we compared some finds – man oh man he hit a nice 12K fat yellow ticket today.

My silver steak is alive and well. The CTX 3030 hammered on this ring! The machine is super stable and a joy to use!

We have used our E-TRACs in many settings, parks, private homes and other venues. One of our favorite places is in farm fields where old houses, schools or churches once stood. If you have not tried this I heartily recommend you giving it a try. On this day we had hunted one field and did not find much, so we went out to check another site I had found on the 1874 map and I could see the brick in the field from the car.

West bound to the cave of Edmond Dante's today is where I plan on starting out. As you will see, I stayed. I THINK THE LITTLE FLOUNDER was my luck today.

Now many targets for us, but what targets I did dig today were nice tickets – surfchurch – what a day- saw some silver rings too.

Dear Minelab,

I wanted to share this amazing discovery with you that I made recently here in Arizona.

While hunting an old homestead with the CTX 3030 and 6" DD coil, I unearthed this beautiful antique pocket watch. This was a great find, especially since the area has been detected many time before by other brands of machines.

Thank you for building such a great product!

I love the CTX 3030 but I know I could do better with it, so I started to use Evan Granger's (Gonehunting for History) set up and this is one unbelievable machine!

You guys at Minelab sure better be treating Evan right with all the help he give us users!

I'm loving my Minelab CTX 3030... I used an E-TRAC for nearly 4 years and didn't think that a better land machine could ever be produced. My thought has changed since I started using the new CTX 3030 nearly a month ago.

One day at a site, I found 5 old Colonial coppers including a gorgeous 1723 Woods Hybernia half penny and an incredible 1730 King George II copper.
