    CTX programs & patterns

    I keep hearing about people downloading programs for the CTX3030 but can't really find where the sites are. There was supposed to be a resource center on this site, but can't find it.

    Xchange2 Program

    I have been having a hard time getting my Xchange2 program communicating with my new CTX3030. I called Minelab America last week and they gave me an email address which is specifically for this program, this was 8 days ago, no reply. Yesterday I again tried and finally got a tech down in...

    battery charger

    my battery charger and my three charging lines got separated and now I am not sure that I have the right charger to plug into the wall? I have attached two pictures of the charger that I presume is the correct charger. I just don't want to use the wrong charger and harm the detector. If...

    what's wrong

    I have a new Minelab Safari and I am having a problem finding some old military buttons. My friend has a souped up older White's Eagle, no matter where we go, or who we are with, he consistantly finds more than anyone. We have been to a local historic site four times in the last month, he has...

    MXT Pro driving me nuts

    I have been detecting since the early seventies and have had dozens of machines through the years. I am primarilly a relic hunter, but sometimes hunt coins during the warmer months when the weeds are up. I have been using a MXT Pro with the Double D coil and it is just driving me crazy. I...

    Cortes

    Why don't people use the Cortes? Very little information anywhere on this machine.

    Anyone use a Cortes?

    Why is it that hardly anyone posts any messages/information on the Cortes? Is this machine worth the money, or do the less expensive machines do just as well? Is it the meter?

    Cortes vs. Tejon

    I am a dedicated relic hunter and have found the Tejon to be a super relic machine. Lately it has been messing up a bit and needs to be sent back to the factory but before I send it I bought a Cortes as a back up machine. I took the Cortes out relic hunting yesterday and made some fine but...

    gone and forgotten

    My relic hunting buddy talked me in to buying a 705. It is a nice detector however with the DD searchcoil it is very heavy. In fact it is so heavy that my friend is selling his 705. I have also found it to be just marginal for relic hunting. I don't see any great depth on relics. My Tejon...

    my Tejon got stomped by a DFX

    A few years ago I had both a Tejon and a DFX. One day while out making a comparison of both detectors, with both of my detectors and a friend along who also had a DFX I made a comparison. I had found a minnie ball and it was deep, it fell into the bottom of the hole which was at least twelve...

    my 705, nothing but a backup detector

    This should raise a lot of controversy. Being a relic hunter there are certain things I look at in the purchase of a detector. Been hunting for almost 40 years now, and have only had moderate success because I live in Missouri, which is great on Federal relics, but very lacking on Confederate...

    Tejon does it again

    In almost 40 years of relic hunting I made one of my better finds last night. The Tejon is unbelievable. Aside from the pocket full of round balls and two minnies and one button back I found a genuine sutlers token dated 1861. This is a token that I think many would die for. The writing is...

    Hot find on a cool night

    Made a great find with my Tesoro Tejon last night. Went to a kind of worked out civil war site in Missouri found two minnies, one button back, and a whole bunch of round balls. Made two coin like finds also. First is about the size of a large cent, however, it is plain on both sides, maybe...

    masking

    Went to one of my civil war sites in Missouri the other day. I have really hunted this hard and it is getting hard to find good stuff. Square nails everywhere, but I know the seated coins and ofher relics are nearby, probably need a smaller coil. Got one good target on a hillside in the...

    DFX

    I am an avid relic hunter. I bought a DFX and used it for about a year. My main problem is that whenever it bumps into anything it beeps. I am using the Whites 12 inch search coil. I set the machine up as many do, AC to about 70; gain up to 3 and all the other tweaks. I have turned both the...
