    Please take a look at your coil wire near the connector

    I was preparing to go out in the water for only the second time since buying the ATX....to be honest, I haven't been using it at all for 4-5 months since my last run with it....but prior to going out today, I thought I'd give it a good look over to ensure everything was tight.... never did get...

    Friday the 13th find and return

    I went to Bling Bling beach yesterday and as soon as I got on the wet sand a lady came up to me asking for help....apparently her daughter had just got engaged and went in the water and yes.....lost her new engagement ring. She was asking for my help and was devastated ....her fianc

    Mod to Excal Blue Headphones for CTX

    I spend a lot of time in the water and a fairly large part underwater (snorkel) when I detect. Headphones have been a problem for me with the CTX. I have owned the GG Underwater headphones and have gone through 2 pair of Amphibians (modified for the CTX w/connector). The GG Underwaters, I sold...

    One bottle cap I'm glad I scooped up

    Rough waters and little clarity made me rely on sound alone today with the CTX. Corona and Bud Light caps have fooled me many times in the first year but I've got a good handle on how to tell now......when I can see my screen! I got a mid-tone with just a bit of an iron grunt to it (typical for...

    Would running higher sensitivity in Manual affect tonal quality of a target?

    Just curious about that question..... I typically water hunt in Manual 23-25, open screen, 5 tone combined, Normal, Seawater On, Deep On and have noticed on coins and today on an 18k ring, that I am getting an Iron grunt along with what ever tone for the target should be, Quite like a bottle cap...

    Odd reading on large ring?

    I had been digging can lids for three hours (they read 12-37-40's), working in waist to chest deep water and just tone hunting (can't see screen), I hadn't found a coin all morning when I came across an odd signal, almost can lid high but a lower quality to the tone too... so 1st scoop and at...

    More on Minelab Service

    To add to what Steve (BCNJ) had to say about his latest Minelab Service experience, here is how it worked out for me. I kept a word document running to keep track of the dates and such so I could remember when I posted. Overall, I am happy with my dealings with Minelab service. There are some...

    Coil bolt and nut

    Just curious if anyone has had any problem with the coil bolts on the CTX. I took mine apart today to ship back for some fixes to minor shaft problems and had trouble removing the bolt. It was very tight (worn threads), no doubt some of that fine Florida sand got in the threads... I did get it...

    Flute like tones

    I've got about 5 hard months on the CTX mostly working in the water and just wanted to start a thread on the tones made by this detector. Today I was lucky and scored on an 18-20k 2.5 gram ring with a unique design. The target sounded of like a flute playing midtones, no high tones no low...

    Classic 12-37 signal

    but this time it was a little heavier..... 27.3 grams 10k....dig those penny signals. Actually, since zinc pennies corrode in the salt, they normally don't read 12-37 and since I hadn't hit any pennies yet at this spot, I felt I had a good chance that it wasn't one..... glad I did dig it...

    First time in the saltwater with the ATX

    Interesting learning experience today, dug the usual trash and some clad but started the day with a test. I was out with two others one with an Aquasound and a 10" Excal (blue) and the other with an 8" Excal. I put a 5 gram 14k ring down 11" in the wet sand to check my settings and easily hit...

    Couple more rings with the CTX

    Got two more rings with the CTX in the water today. First was a 1951 ladies class ring (6 grams 10k) that was two scoops down in thigh deep water. It read a clean repeatable 12-22 and I honestly expected a sinker but was pleasantly surprised. The second was a 3.8 gram 10k wedding band in chest...

    Battery life heads up

    I once had a Ford Mustang and you seemed to be able to go forever on gas UNTIL the gas gauge dropped below the "F".... from that point on you needed to be looking for a gas station.... Well, it appears that my ATX is quite like that Mustang, once it gets to 3 beeps, you don't have long to go...

    ATX Day one Saltwater wet sand

    Got the ATX yesterday and couldn't wait to get it out and give it a try on some of the sanded in beaches here in western Florida. I spent 5 hours out swinging and learning and digging it all except a few LARGE signals that would sound off with the coil held a few inches above the sand. I have...

    Two toned target turns out to be gold

    Not many targets in the Gulf near me, really are sanded in pretty good but one target I had gave me two tones, must have been its orientation to the coil. This ring is 14k yellow gold with a white gold square holding 5 diamonds. Interestingly, when you air test the ring and present the square...

    Nickels and the 3030

    Tried Ferrous Coin in the water today and I don't know if that had anything to do with it or I just found a line with nickels .... but I got 26 nickels in 6 hours...that is a personal record for one hunt for me... I also managed to pick up two gold rings along with more clad..Soldier ring is 10k...

    Waterproof pouch for WM10

    Saw an pouch/case for an IPhone that had a 1/8" headphone plug and thought I'd give it a try. WM10 fits in it nicely and the connection will allow you to use the WM10 in the rain with no worries. It comes with an arm band and a lanyard so you can put it over your neck if wanted. This should work...

    13 gram chain and medallion today

    Struggled today for 6 hours before I saw the glint of yellow. The target had a weird sounding tone, kind of trashy but the numbers seemed good (12-08 ish), on the third scoop (lots of shells to dig through) I lift the scoop and see a chain dangling off the side of the scoop. Glad the religious...

    Finally my first gold with the 3030

    I'd been digging in the rocks on an eroded beach, trying to learn this machine... beach has quite a bit of clad and pulltabs... After digging pulltabs for most of an hour, I had a really good idea what they sounded like and knew the familiar 12-15/16 numbers so when I got another 12-16 I almost...

    What settings or program would you use?

    I've got a freshwater swimming area with a large amount of nails and other iron hardware in the cool water. Just curious which program or settings would you use to start with in a location such as this? Previously I've used an excal here trying to work through the nulls and had some success...
