    Complete tone reversal in 50 tone....check it out!

    I too have some high freq hearing loss in both ears, more in the right than the left. That is why I could never use 50 tones on my Nox 800 to hear the subtle variances in tones to ID targets like most people. It is now the reason I sold my 800 and bought my CTX for the extra visual clues on the...

    Complete tone reversal in 50 tone....check it out!

    could not resist this one. Say your hunting buddy has a CTX and likes to hunt in 50 tones. When he goes to the restroom reverse his tones. and watch and try to hide your giggles.

    Minelab Pro-Swing 45 question

    What? Snapped???? I guess I should read my directions more carefully. I was not pushing it in hard enough. I guess you all now think I am rather slow on the uptake. Man I would never make it as a detectorist without these forums. I am NOT joking about that. Just imagine trying to learn the Nox...

    Minelab Pro-Swing 45 question

    I have recently purchchased the Minelab Pro-Swing 45 with the stiffing bar to transfer the weight from the shoulder to the lower back. On a recent this stiffing bar fell out and I didn't notice it was gone until I got back to my car. Fortunately this was a small test hunt, so found it easily...

    Ancient aegean/greek bronze coin

    Draco, no need for anyone to apologize for their bad English when it is their second language. Just my opinion. Well maybe Americans might want to offer an apology to the citizens of the UK. I always wonder, in America we typically like the British accent. I wonder what the British think of our...

    Does anyone do this????

    yes, hit it again with the Deus, and then hunt from another direction and hit it again taking away the good stuff and trash. Then hit it again, listening for deep signals. You are finding good stuff, it is a great site to work really well.

    Is this a time to buy a used detector

    I used to think it was stupid to make coins with some ferrous material. After seeing that coin laden magnet, I might be changing my mind. Were all those coins from one toss into the water?

    The realities of Artifact Hunting... The cold hard truth

    We have to be realistic and understand that a lot of finds post if not most feature the good stuff and sometimes never the junk. Same with videos. Who want's to see videos of junk, we all know what that looks like. Quality input = Quality output and this applies to our hobby in spades. Love...

    What makes your metal detector good? How to become a better detectorist? Do you care?

    One thing you have to be aware of is getting lulled into thinking you really know your machine and a lot of about metal detecting. I was at that stage 6 years ago with my AT Pro. Loved the machine and it produced for me, But I could have known it much better. The AT Pro is an easy machine to...

    Help for a detector in the $200 range

    amen to that but they eventually want to conquer us with a strong military that they are amassing from all the $$ they making off US consumers. We need to shift all of our manufacturing to south america. Closer and God faring people not like the godless communist chinese.

    Help for a detector in the $200 range

    RM Ricomax GC-1037 - most likely chinese knockoff. Will probably not last more than one month. stick with the major mfgs. minelab, garrett, Xp Deus manufacturer, simplex manufacturer, fisher. and no these companies don't give away their detectors at discounted prices like chinese knockoffs. You...

    Found my Great Grandfather’s headstone

    That is so cool. Of course it won't be long for the make up our own version of history crowd will insist that all confederate graves stones be removed because they are offended. Don't think I am kidding.

    New CTX Looking For Southern California Groups

    This is exactly what happened to me with my new Nox 800 in March 2018. I "thought" I knew something about metal detecting since I had owned about 4 different models since the late 80's. But really those detectors in the past spent 95% of their time in the closet. I got more serious about...

    Now I know why I loved hunting with the CTX.

    Another question - someone said that as your target is deeper you encounter more mineralization because you are going through more dirt and may have to make some adjustments to account for that. It sounds reasonable, but is that true?

    Now I know why I loved hunting with the CTX.

    My big, big mistake with the 800 was I really didn't not know as much about metal detecting as I thought I did. I thought that using the AT Pro was as good as it gets and yes I found stuff with it. On the 800 I tried immediately to use every advanced feature and run it hot. That was the worst...

    Who goes swimming; CTX3030 or Nox800

    In 2019 I was in very shallow river water and set my Nox 800 in about 14" of water while recovering some targets. Not any deeper. Got home and there was water behind the display. Minelab fixed it free of charge, but I never put my nox control panel in the water ever again. I now have a CTX3030...

    New CTX Looking For Southern California Groups

    CW3, you are right about so called self described "Experts". There are a few on the four big metal detecting forums, but it takes a while to figure out who they are. The rest seem to have the believe that what they "think" qualifies as good solid well accepted technical advice and their...

    CTX 3030 ever updated?

    I was in the PC software business for many years. Trust me you don't want to try to fix something that is not broken. Chances are that a detector that was designed years before its release in 2012, they don't have any of the original engineers around or are on other projects. Bruce Candy...
