    Back from the repair shop.... Success

    Yes, a successful repair by Minelab on my Chatty CTX! I sent it in almost a month ago.... Minelab was tied up working on other machines, there was a holiday weekend and I didn't help the process either... I never put my RMA number on the box so I'm sure they were beside themselves trying to...

    CTX chatty until display is under water

    I hunt in the Gulf, so I don't experience surf like the bigger bodies of water and I'm just learning this machine. Here is what I am experiencing..... I get to the water turn on the machine, ensure it is in beach mode and saltwater checked/enabled... enter the water and the machine is chatty...

    Seawater mode question

    Just curious about what the Seawater mode does exactly. I spent 8 hours yesterday in the water up to neck deep trying to learn this machine and get experience. It was almost flat in the Gulf yesterday for my area so I was actually able to turn off the Seawater mode and run fine without it...

    Broken rings and chains

    I'm fairly new to the CTX and just getting into seeing what all the adjustments can do for you with this machine. I primarily beach and water hunt and will be using the CTX for this purpose most of the time. This morning I decided to do some testing in the yard with an assortment of rings and a...

    Thoughts and questions after my first time out with the CTX

    Here are some thoughts and questions I came up with after my first hunt with the CTX. I'm sure most of these questions I have are petty and I will find the answer with research or trial and error, afterall I've only used it one time. This is more or less the first part of a journal I'm going to...

    Wealth of information

    Just opened the box for my new 3030 last night. (Thanks Bart for the great service!) I've been reading this forum on and off now for a year trying to make up my mind and finally, decided to get one. Since opening the box and turning it on, I've had some questions about the machine and have...

    GT find today

    Just moved to Florida and got out today for the second time since moving last week. Hit on a nice 10k (emerald) ring with real diamonds (small) that was my second signal of the day, three scopes deep at the water line. It was a scratchy signal (reading a bouncing 140 - 142 on the GT with the...

    Quick Airtest of the GB Pro with small jewelry

    Just purchased a GB Pro and don't have the time to go out to give it a spin but did have time to test some coins and jewelry with it today. I was really curious as to the sensitivity of the Pro with small jewelry so I got out some of MY old jewelry from my previous earring time period of life to...

    Is the CTX sensitive enough to get micro jewelry at the beach?

    I'm on the verge of a purchase and am really interested in the CTX BUT would like to know if it will hit on micro gold jewelry. I know from looking at everyones posted finds that it will hit on small rings and such but water detectors, for the most, part will miss small linked gold chains...

    Oh I'm so close

    and if the gold/plat/silver prices just bump up a bit more OR i get lucky this weekend and find just one more average sized men's gold ring, I'll be making my 3030 purchase..... guess I'll hunt till I drop this weekend on the beaches or until the GT's battery runs out each day..... Cliff

    Had an Ah Ha moment today which lead to some testing

    This bored landlocked hunter had to get out today even though it wasn't at a beach... I prefer beach and water hunting but didn't have the two hour drive in me today so I went out dirt hunting. Wasn't doing any good, just a typical clad day along with daydreaming of the beach while listening to...

    Florida Gulf Coast CTX 3030 question

    Ok, one year of water hunting under my belt. Currently own a Sand Shark, CZ-21 and a Minelab GT and just got back from 2 weeks working the water and found that I used the Sand Shark and GT more than the CZ. I tend to think it was because I have gotten used to having a treshold sound in my ears...

    First time out with the GT w/Ron's meter installed

    Just a quick trip out to a ballfield and basketball court to try out the meter. I didn't need to adjust it at all since it was reading right on 180 with a quarter but I double checked when I got there with a quarter and a nickle. (bad memory and couldn't remember the nickle numbers. LOL) This...

    Winter Shoreline hunting up North with the GT

    Well, ok, winter is almost over and to be honest up North, we haven't really had a winter this year. Because of that (IMHO) that has caused more beach erosion than normal. Strong winter winds banging against the shoreline when normally during the winter there is ice covering the lake so this...
