    Coin Garden and the GT/CTX 3030

    First off I am NOT dissing the 3030. But in my attempt to better understand the new machine I went out to my coin garden for some testing. Funny story first. I planted this coin garden way back in 1991 and lost the map to where I planted each coin and what they were and depth! I would still use...

    3030 Painted Decals

    I saw a post a while back of someones painted decals coming off because I think heat in the car and they transfered to another object. Anyone else notice that the painted decals are rubbing off after only this short use of 70 days! I was washing off the detector today and mine our rubbing/worn...

    Hunted the beach with some advice from the forum.

    Well I have been using the 3030 on and off on the beach( 150hrs) with mixed results. Yesterday was the 3rd gold ring for the 3030. I played around and used Ground coin, fast on, deep off, and a gain of 20, auto plus 2. I do hunt in combined tone with a FE line of 24 open screen. What this seemed...

    How much is too much?

    Remembering that I come from the GT/Excal to the 3030, and am mostly a beach hunter.I have learned that too much sensitivity is bad in BBS. It tends to bounce off the surface and not penetrate the ground. I read all the post and have to try and use some of the techniques for myself. I have tried...

    Questions about Gain?

    I remember seeing post about beach hunting and problems with waves and water rushing up to the detector and falsing and falsing on sloped beaches. I posted not having these issues, and didn't. I know several seasoned hunters have abandoned the CTX for beach use due to it being unstable in the...

    I Benched the 3030

    I used the 3030 for about 30 days straight beach hunting for 79 hrs. I benched the 3030 and took the Excalibur back for a beach walk. I can't conclusively say either one was better that the other. I kept thinking I was missing targets with the 3030 but the Excalibur did not find any deeper...

    Pretty Sure the CTX is going to get benched for Beach Hunting

    Don't get me wrong it can be used on the beach. It finds targets and does just fine it will hold its own with the top line of detectors. Call me old school but I want the machine to tell me what the target is. Not me setting the tones for the targets. I currently have it set so all target in the...

    Once again a factory reboot fixes the problem at hand?

    This is just becoming crazy!The first issue was the WM-10 would not work with any headphones . A Minelab rep told me to reboot to factory setting and try it. It worked. Then I could never get the headphones to work with the unit directly even with a mono plug. I did not wish to reboot because of...
