    WM10 USB door and battery

    Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the flexible door to the USB charging port breaking off of the WM10. To save people down time if they send their WM10 to Minelab to be repaired, do as some have and just have them send you the door. It is incredibly easy to take the case apart and...

    6" DD coil

    When I got my CTX, it came with the 17" coil, which I thought would be great......which it probably is for some. For an old, arthritic person, changing direction from left to right on a swing was pure pain. Having only used the coil to test its' function over some soft grass, it was...

    Xchange2 software question

    Is there any way to delete a single entry from any of the files, folders in Xchange2 or the detector? Even after an individual entry is highlighted, i.e. a hunt program within a Collection, the Recycle bin or the detector, if the "trash can" is clicked the only choice is to delete the entire...

    CTX on gold chain

    I was watching some Youtube videos on the CTX and other machines and this particular video stated that a multi-frequency machine is not going to pick up a gold chain. What's the story on that? Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elpZY99S6I0 If it will pick up a...

    Something different........:confused:

    I found this in Seminole, Texas (close to New Mexico), in what used to be a trailer park. This is a very old town from the oil boom days. The item I found is about the size of a silver dollar. The center part rotates around a central axle. It has an ornate loop at the top and, upon close...

    My first cache......

    Got a weak 12/04 signal on my CTX at the base of a large tree stump......the tree had been cut down a long time ago. I was back in the woods of a public park south of my town. The pinpoint showed 10" and it was every bit of that, maybe 12". These items were clumped together and there were...

    12/08......good or bad?

    Would you dig a 12/08 signal, steady both ways? How about a 12/17, same steady signal? I have found a 12/13 to be a nickel....most of the time. The 12/08, although often a gold ring for an eTrac, has been nothing but foil for me. The 12/17 is usually an aluminum sherd or pop top. A...

    Hot Hot Hot Wheels

    Went to a fairly new, but, close park this evening, just to get some "swinging" in........was going into withdrawal! Hit a penny/dime signal, 12/43 steady at 10", that's pretty deep for this park, so, decided to dig it. Got down to about 10" and the pointer remained silent, but, still had...

    Hot Wheels spill...????

    Went to a local park this evening, not expecting anything more than a little clad. I got a deep signal with my CTX......a 12/43 at 10 inches. That's usually a penny or dime signal for me, but, I found it odd that it would be this deep in a fairly new park (alongside a soccer field), so, I...

    eTrac reading compared to CTX, ATTN: Digger

    I know I said "Attn: Digger", only because, from what I have seen, he would be a most reliable source. Others are welcome to chime in, of course. My questions are simple: Does the CTX use the same circuitry and such to provide the Fe/Co readings as the eTrac? Basically, given the same...

    Target color, or, lack of.......

    I have noticed that sometimes the target indicator will fill solid with red (I know the blue at the bottom is iron and the diamond is around rejected signals, I think) and other times it will have little or no color in it. Would someone please elaborate on what this indicates? Other times...

    One trip around a basketball court.....

    This is one trip around a basketball court at a park close to my house. I am beginning to get the hang of this CTX3030....quite a different animal from my F75!! One thing for sure, it is the supreme Schlitz on nickels.....I picked up two of them amongst a herd of pull tabs close to a garbage...

    Find log with readings and settings...???

    As a newbie to the CTX, I have been giving thought to carrying a little notepad with me, to write down the readings I dig and what was found. I plan to keep it as detailed as possible, i.e. multiple targets, settings, environment, etc. Would anyone else be interested in seeing something...

    For the CTX newbies........

    You have probably seen the videos and read all the posts about the CTX and the wonderful finds. I've had my CTX 2 weeks today and have been using a Fisher F75 standard for the past 3 years.....my first MD'ing experience. I just wanted you newbies, like me, to see something besides the gold...
