    Why don't the new machines have GPS?

    It's not for a one time hunt in an area, I use it for trending of targets, and area coverage after I cover an area in multiple directions. If you try to follow your path exactly and not account for the built in (on civilian units) deviation, you WILL be disappointed. Look at the areas I have...

    Why don't the new machines have GPS?

    Yeah, it's aimed at Deus users, if you don't have a Deus, it's pretty worthless and when I tried it out, it had lots of bugs

    Why don't the new machines have GPS?

    No, I'm wondering why the new crop of machines don't have a GPS receiver built into them like the CTX3030 and GPZ7000 have had for decades...

    CTX3030 Xchange2 question

    I created several folders. First a folder called "MIKE"S" that I keep geohunts, findpoints, and waypoints in, next a "3030 NOW" folder that reflects the last setup of my detector, then next is my "MODES" folder to store my modes in, and lastly, a folder called "WORKING AREA". Any mode I want...

    Why don't the new machines have GPS?

    I hear ya, but there's plenty of folks that could help you learn a new machine. I'm 68 and find my CTX3030 simple to operate. There's no reason the new machines should be more complicated than it. But I just think for those who do want it (and I'm betting there's a lot) it would be nice to...

    What are you talking about here? One of those scammy LRL detectors? How about a link or pictures or YouTube channel???

    Why don't the new machines have GPS?

    Well, not saying you have to use it, but I think you are the exception rather than the rule. Every time I post a screenshot of a hunt I get swamped with requests to know what "app" I'm using to track my hunt. Buy the toolbox and only use the hammer if you want but I'll keep using it, it's a...

    Why don't the new machines have GPS?

    I've been familiar with GPS in the CTX 3030 and GPZ 7000 for over a decade. It's phenomenal in my CTX 3030, a very useful tool indeed. With the advance in technology in the past decade, it should be a no brainer to incorporate a very good GPS into higher end detectors. Is it cost to engineer and...

    Charging batteries using alkaline pack?

    My AA pack won't seat properly in the ML charger. I use 2 AA Packs with rechargeable batteries but have an 8 position charger so I can charge a packs worth of batteries in a few hours. I also have the Rechargeable ML pack, Typically I never have all 3 charged at the same time. I'll rotate...

    Am I not understanding the numbers on the ctx ?

    I've seen lowered Fe-Co numbers once in a while too, but there was ALWAYS a piece of ferrous somewhere near the coin...

    Where are all the CTX users?

    I'm here! Wanted a 3030 since I first swung a buddy's back in 2012 but couldn't afford one so I got an E-Trac in 2014 and swung it (with a short stint of 'Nox 800 use) until I got my CTX 3030 in January 2023. My E-Trac still gets used but my CTX is my primary machine. That CTX is great! This...

    REALLY disappointed with the NEL Sharpshooter coil...

    NOT because of performance, it seems to perform OK, but because it's such a B1TCH to put on the detector. The coil wire is twice the thickness of the Minelab coil wire and easily twice as stiff. I got the NEL Sharpshooter coil in May with my new E-Trac, I have used it twice and it has been a...

    Who else uses E-Trac Manager?

    I do and I like it a LOT better than Xchange. Hey Mods/Admin, could we get a forum for this program? It would be great to have an area to exchange ideas and info on E-Trac Manager with other users.

    E-Trac beach finds... FIRTS E-Trac SILVER, I LOVE this machine!!

    I've got about 18 hours on the E-Trac now and I an truly impressed with this beauty. I got to do a couple hours on the beach yesterday while visiting some friends who are in town for the week at their condo. I downloaded Des Dunne's beach pattern, programmed his mode and preferences settings...

    Conduct Vs Ferrous :confused:

    Hi y'all! So just what exactly happens differently between these tow modes? I tried searching and didn't find much on it, maybe didn't have the right keywords. In other words, leaving all settings the same and using the same pattern but switching between Conduct and Ferrous, what differences...

    Multiple crosshairs on disply?

    Used my E-Trac today with the Sharpshooter coil today (I love that little coil) and just happened to notice that at some points I was seeing more than one crosshair on the pattern display (I was in a pretty open screen) and the numbers were jumping. Turns out there were two targets very close...

    Now that I've got an E-Trac, how can I keep using the Sov? By WATERPROOFING IT!

    So my new E-Trac will be in Today or tomorrow, and I don't want to retire the Sov Elite so I think I will look at putting it into a waterproof housing that can stan a dunking to a couple feet once in a while. I think I make a long straight shaft to start with and either mount the box at the end...

    It's coming........:hot:

    Well... I DID IT!! A brand new E-TRAC with the 11 inch Pro coil is on its way my way thanks to Rich at Colonial Metal Detectors. He made me a KILLER deal! Also getting a Samson 31 inch serrated T Handle digger, a Minelab Pro Find 25 pinpointer, a NEL Sharpshooter 9x5 DD coil, and a rain cover...
