Some kind of army dog tag (need to use electrolysis to get the crap off). Pennies pretty deep and corroded. Interesting the XP Dues seems great on DRY and small fine items / rings. Ctx is deeper but maybe misses the smaller items? Trying to hunt each area 2x to work out the pros and cons of each machine.

Not sure. Any others got a comment? For all we know now DMNZ may have been kindly posting a map of where to find a cache of Sovs. Grrrr. MK AKA Chris.

I don't really see the need to remove information of/on public resources or locations, then again I'm not up that way nor am I the type that would withdraw any kind of potential lead to reduce competition and satisfy my own greed.

Actual risk, nothing to do with metal detecting. Close friends know what is happening, others will know later on. This post was the only one i ever removed from actual members. Please no more comments or questions.

Most rings greater than 10 inches deep...very very weak signals.... Can anyone identlfy the language on the cross??? Ctx 3030 seal gave way and main battery died! Despite really being careful to clean and insert the seal again daily... may have to send to minelab (battery). Lucky had the A A battery as a spare....or would have killed the trip! Leaked early on in the first or second hunt! Detector turned off....coil not detected....main battery seems unable to charge. ...
