    New IRS law effect metal detector sales ?

    Correct. 1099’s go to the recipient of the funds.

    New IRS law effect metal detector sales ?

    Remember it’s the seller who gets the 1099. No reporting to the buyer. The issue is you sell a detector, extra coil, etc. for 650. You had paid 1000. IRS can say prove it or pay tax on the 650. The burden of proof is on the taxpayer. Did you save all your receipts? Oh, don’t forget...

    New IRS law effect metal detector sales ?

    The seller gets the 1099. He then has to do tax reporting, consult your tax preparer. In most states there is an exemption for sales tax on sales of casual personal property. Again see your tax preparer if you have concerns. Tax prep fees at a minimum. Remember this was presented as a...

    Low pitch hum and long "iron" grunt

    The hunt before last I got a 2 to 3 second loud grunt then it quit and repeated a few more times. My battery was low as it was at the end of a hunt. I checked the coil stiffner and headphones and don't see any obvious signs of cracking but I have rubberized electrical tape over it for...

    Interference from Equinox

    Noise cancel does help. When running the 17" coil on the beach I can't get closer than maybe 20 feet of a 600 Equinox after noise cancel. In Ohio running the 11 coil I am able to get about 8 to 10 feet away from a 800 without noise cancel. It takes away from the buddy experience not to be...

    Interference from Equinox

    Whenever I get near someone using the Equinox my CTX goes nuts. I noise cancel and it helps somewhat but I think that it is tuning to the Equinox rather than the conditions of soil, emi, etc. Does anyone know of any tricks, settings to reduce, eliminate this issue.

    Super modified CTX?

    I use the detecting buddy as it allows for a wide swing and quick detachment when recovering targets. Basically can go all day with the 17" coil on. On days where I use the Equinox 800 with the 15" coil my ar and should are barking at me after a couple hours.

    discrimination pattern to help block pull tabs

    This was a solid 12-16 on the ctx. 11.5g of 14k. So ignore pull tabs at your own peril!

    Another maintenance issue/problem!

    While hunting today I noticed my upper shaft was moving in the case that holds the pistol grip. I went to tighten a couple loose screws and they TURNED OFF IN MY HAND with virtually no effort. The part of the screw just below the top had narrowed (wear) and just turned off in the bottom. No...

    Purpose of "bump" on top of lower shaft?

    What is the purpose of the triangular bump on top of the lower shaft other than alignment when attaching shaft? Does it help hold the shaft when in use? I am considering cutting it out and flipping the shaft 180 to allow stress relief from the coil wires. I have had 2 17" coil failures due...

    X Change Problem

    I tried without success to hook up the ctx on my new computer that has windows 10 on it. The ctx would acknowledge it was connected but the icon for it would not appear no matter what I tried. I was finally able to hook it up. Turns out the issue is with the USB port. It was the new...

    Bubbles on screen?

    My unit was repaired for water damage on 4/28 and they replaced the screen. It had the original protector on it so I used it for a couple weeks. It was getting dirty so I peeled it off to apply a new protector. This is what I now have. It looks like there is another film on the screen but...

    CTX Battery in Checked Luggage

    As I was checking in for a flight tomorrow I noticed a statement that no lithium batteries can be in checked luggage and they must be carried on. Is anyone pulling the ctx battery and putting in carry on? I have always just send the whole unit through checked baggage in my hard shelled case.

    Accept/Reject

    I am trying to understand using this feature. I have been running standard coin mode with its various settings. It displays accept reject. Should I be modifying it further ? Is this an advantage or just additional processing burden? Or is this button for building your own program? Any...
