    Anyone moved from the Nox 800 back to a CTX3030

    On my new CTX I had to have the Minelab Pro-swing 46 harness or after 30 minutes I was done. stay with using the standard modes or you will quickly get into jumpy signals, badly tuned 800. But once you really learn the 800, you should be fine. Great beach machine, great in dense iron, if...

    I wish to give our northern friends a laugh

    Yeah, one summer one of those little suckers was stock on me in a very private place. I thought I had melanoma so went to my dermatologist. He plucked it off with tweezers, took back and put it under the microscope. Came back with his findings, a small tick and then the doctor gave me some kind...

    I wish to give our northern friends a laugh

    Guess what, those same illegals when they hit our parks do the same thing. I see it every monday morning when I take my dog for a walk in a very busy park that is 90% illegals on the weekend. On the positive side... Oh, there is no freaking positive side. I forgot the border western states are...

    and on top of that you got deserts with GOLD and away from pull tabs, poptops and crew caps.

    Equinox 900

    I am not waiting, that is why I recently sold my Nox 800 and bought a new CTX3030 for $1,400 with full 3 year warranty. Lucked up on a great deal.

    I wish to give our northern friends a laugh

    I know what you mean. I was out with my CTX today for 2 hours in a park with few people. Got some good deep silver signals, but the dirt was too hard to get past 3-4". I will return after a soaking rain. But just being out there is so nice. It is amazing even a small park surrounded by the urban...

    Never listen to the other guys opinion…..

    I walk my dog in a park near the river each day M-F. I also detect the park maybe every other week in the summer at the volleyball courts which do produce in the spring, summer and fall. When I meet a detectorists I don't know, I tell them that I walk here every day and often see detectorists...

    Equinox 900

    Just take the CTX3030, make it lighter, stronger shaft, have all the CTX3030 features call it an Equinox 900 and price it at $1,500 and the metal detecting world would go bonkers waiting to get in line to purchase one.

    Anyone moved from the Nox 800 back to a CTX3030

    What you need is the patented "oak Island Digging Assistant" that Gary Drayton is using. I understand it will also work with the CTX3030.

    using GPS on CTX3030 drain battery faster?

    I agree. the area in the park I hunt is probably about 5 acres. I will use waypoints to mark where I have hunted. Geotrail seems like an overkill and pain in the but to use. Thanks

    relic hunting. random walks or gridding

    I agree with you. others have suggest little utility flags, others a tennis ball at each end and move it when you turn around to head the other direction. I will probably use 1/2 tennis balls so they won't blow away. I did some practice gridding today without any end markers on a 30 x 30 foot...

    using GPS on CTX3030 drain battery faster?

    That is what I was thinking. Make the waypoint and some notes in my little pocket notebook about the waypoint and area that I gridded. I think I read somewhere that you just have to use their findpoint and waypoint FP and WP and number. Which is fine with me, I can write a few notes. I have some...

    using GPS on CTX3030 drain battery faster?

    logic would say yes. I know on my iPhone any apps that us the GPS function seem to drain the battery at least 2x faster than without using the GPS. So does the mapping/GPS functions increase the battery drain rate on the CTX3030? Just got my CTX 3 weeks ago so a total newbie to the CTX but not...

    relic hunting. random walks or gridding

    I am going to change my hunting techniques. Without thinking about it I was doing the random walk in proven that had given up a lot of good civil war relics in the past 30 years. First I thought, well the AT Pro was not the right detector and after 4 years jumped to the Nox 800. Same results...

    relic hunting. random walks or gridding

    My area that I can still hunt are a few small parks and along creek and branches. The parks are a mixture of open fields and wooded areas. Creeks have high banks about 12 foot and rounded stones and a few larger basketball sized boulders and some areas and about 50 yards of hard bedrock with...

    Looking for advice on CTX mapping effectiveness

    I am hunting civil war relics at proven urban civil war battle sites in Atlanta. I have a new CTX3030 with maybe 3 weeks or 20 hours on it testing it. So far love it. Have not tested or even tried to use the GPS mapping feataures. I will be gridding areas on the battle field areas and I want to...

    relic hunting. random walks or gridding

    I noticed a older post by dan(nm) on one 3 hour relic hunt, after 3 hours of not finding much he switched to gridding one area and started finding his desired relics. So that got me to thinking. off and on maybe once a month during the summer, I relic hunt with my Nox 800 in a proven civil war...

    yes i did forget those little boogers. I usually spray my boots, jeans with deep woods off. But still have gotten 2-3 ticks in a years time.

    No time like the present…..

    In a city like Atlanta, always tearing down old stuff and building new things you find a good spot, you better hit hard. One old lot I discovered, I found a few wheats and 1964 quarter. Meant to go back the next day, but life got in the way. two weeks later 8' high chain linked fence around the...

    I wish to give our northern friends a laugh

    Best time for metal detecting around Georgia. Late Fall and winter. Get out my cold weather gear, we might get temperatures in the low 30's soon. (this is where you laugh). In the summer we are blessed with jungle like weeds, rains, high humidity and temperatures in the high nineties. If that...
