    New Grey Battery Gasket in 2013 Vintage CTX?

    Hi All, My original red o-ring gasket has started to stretch out a bit (from cleaning I guess). Anyway I decided I should order a new one but saw on the Kellyco website that the O-ring kit is for 2016 and newer models. Anyway I almost ordered the kit from kellyco but decided to call Minelab...

    Fresh Merc

    Found this sweet 1938-S in MS condition the other day on a water hunt. It has Full Bands on the reverse. Very confusing as most coins come out of here grey and oxidized. There was a clay layer and maybe it was trapped in the clay Dug down and spotted it in the scoop before sifting the sand...

    Finds from last hunt

    Well I thought I would follow up my battery posts with a finds post. Got out to a local lake the other day last week. It's been cold but there was a break in the weather. I was hopping that the winter storms had stirred things up a bit and I think they did. The water is up a bit and so even...

    Replacement NiMH batts?

    Hi All, I have two bad batteries (flashing red led on charger) from the original set (1.2v 2400mAh Duracell's) that came with the machine. However I got the machine used so I have no idea how many cycles the remaining 6 have been through. I checked back on the forum and found a thread from...

    A day at the Beach with the ATX

    Completed my first full day (~6hours) of water/beach hunting with the repaired ATX. The machine ran great. We went to a beach that has mod/high to high ground mineralization (layers of black sand). The ATX ran smooth and we could even turn the sens. up. I was running 11-12 and my buddy had...

    Silver from first water hunt

    Hi All, Just thought I'd show the good stuff from my first water hunt with the ATX last week. As I have previously posted the machine started acting up on me but that may have been my cell phone or operator error. For most of the day the machine ran great and I was digging deep for high/lows...

    ATX down for repairs.

    Hi All, Well I think the ATX (used) I recently got is down for the count:cry: After the park test I took it to the lake for a water hunt. It was running real quiet and smooth at the first two beaches. Scored a silver ring and St Christopher medal on a chain:crylol: Good frequency scan and...

    New ATX owner has a few questions

    Hi All, Just got a new to me slightly used ATX and I'm pretty excited about this machine. I live on the west coast and hunt some nasty black sand filled lakes and beaches and think the ATX will be just the ticket. I took the machine for a test drive in the park near my house today and it...

    Best small DD coil for GP 3000?

    Hi All Packing for a trip to Florida and wondering if anyone has had any trouble with clearing security with the CTX in their carry on bag? I broke the unit down and took off the rear module and the upper shaft/meter assembly will just fit into a soft sided carry on bag that meets carry on...

    Older Surf PI in black sand?

    Anyone have any experience with using and older SMPI in a heavy black sand situation. I'm working an area where my CTX shows suggested sensitivity settings of 1 and I am mostly running in auto at around 4 (ground coin+open screen). Still get lots of false signals and genuine targets can be...

    Iron Mask Setting for 3030?

    Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to replicate an "iron mask" setting for the 3030? I hunt side by side with some Excalibur operators in a highly mineralized and trashy water setting and so far our finds are generally about the same. Many days the Excals out hunt the CTX...

    Power Gain? on CTX

    Hi All, Probably a dumb question but is the CTX running at full output power all the time? Or do the volume gain and or sensitivity levels have some effect on power gain output? I ask because areas I hunt are highly mineralized (Auto+3 runs in single digits to low teens). Due to this I run...

    GP 3000 acting up any ideas?

    Hi All, My GP 3000 has been acting up a bit. What happens is the threshold will fade and the machine go quiet while detecting. Mostly at first it was happening when I would set the machine down to dig a target. I'm right handed and what would happen is when setting the machine down to dig a...

    First Barber and More

    Went back to a sidewalk demo I've been working. First good coin was an '07 Barber dime! Not very deep only about 2-3 inches and gave a 12-44 in high trash TTF. Worked along and found an '06 Indian and two Buffalo's (one is a '14S). Things slowed down a bit but finished off with a '08 V nickel...

    Machine locked-Froze Up ?

    Hi All Well my machine locked up yesterday for the second time. I was running a combine audio profile in ground coin with a strong disc pattern. Lots of iron in the area and was getting a a lot of nulling and then threshold wouldn't come back at all. So I then tried switching back to my TTF...

    Luck of the Irish -- Finally

    Well I've logged many hours with the CTX and finally go that first silver (coin) on St. Patrick's Day. The silver came after the first good find which was a 1907 Indian. Now I was working the tree belt-sidewalk strip in front of an empty house lot. When I got there the signs were evident...

    GreyGhost UW phones - "o" ring - head phone module - questions

    Did a bit of searching and it looks like the consensus is that the GreyGhost UW phones are the best so I'm gonna order some. Planning on a Florida trip in the near future and plan on some water hunts so I'll be needing a pair. I saw a few references to a volume issue? is that still an issue...

    8" stock coil for 1265X has a short in the connector

    Hi All Just wondering if anyone has any experience with a short circuit in the connector area I believe. Seems like the audio would short out when I wiggled the connector possibly one of the contacts contacting (grounding out) against the metal connector housing. I tried some tape and paper...
