    I'm loosing my enthusiasm for the CTX

    I have been away from the forum for a while because the frustration with my CTX got to the point that I took a season off (2020) - sorry. I got my CTX toward the end of the first year they came out and I have to be honest, I am a bit disappointed after spending 5+ years working with it, but I...

    Still a CT newbie but........something is wrong

    I have had my CT for about 8 months. I have used it exclusively on land and have gotten VERY comfortable with it, and yes, I get great results. One of my goals when I purchased it was to start using it to wade in the water here on the Pacific coast and also when I visit my former home in...

    CTX battery charger question

    Well I hope I don't win a dunce cap and have to sit in the corner for this colossal mistake but....... I am not home to defend my gear each week and as a result all the support gear for my detector (charger, power adapter, spare battery, cables) got scattered to the 4 winds by my granddaughters...

    Noisy CTX - Normal?

    For the last few days my week old CTX has been getting VERY noisy. I have not had it long enough to know what is, and isn't "normal," but it is so chattery that it is difficult to tell what is going on. For example: 1st case: I tried my front yard and from one week to the next (Thurs 2nd, then...

    I can see where I will need CTX cliff notes coming from a VDI world

    Well the CTX arrived today. I spent an hour running it in the yard with sample targets and then spent 45 minutes in a park I have hunted with 3 different detectors and gave up on this winter because the returns were so few. But with this machine and very little experience I found 5 coins and 2...

    I miss my polar plot!

    Well the CTX arrived today and I took it out for the first time. Sure do miss the analysis tools I had with the V3i, because I used them. I still like the CTX, but those of you that said so were right........I will own another V3i in the not too distant future. They will be stable mates in my...

    Making the transition to the CTX from a V3i

    Ok, ready or not, here I come!! :yikes: I truly love my V3i but I'm packing the box right now and shipping it off as a trade-in for a CTX standard package. (stopping to wipe away tears and blow my nose) I'm not going to discuss the deal I am getting because I know it is good, and I promised...

    Got a hat trick - 3 personal bests.

    April of last year as most of my friends here know, I got started in general purpose detecting after many years only using a gold detector prospecting. It started with a used Garrett GTI 2500 and once I was hooked in June 2011 I moved to a V3i. 2011 was a very good year. Over $100 in clad, 7...

    Standing Liberty Quarter and a question

    Howdy, This was a little odd - I was detecting in an old park in the Los Angeles area near the ocean last Thursday after work. I have hunted this same park a couple times a week for months. It only gives up modern coinage and a few silver rings to date, with the oldest coins being 1960's...

    A question about the material in the reference links

    Just a quick question about the target picture and accompanying spreadsheet. First an foremost - thanks to the author for the effort and valuable data. And now my question - when I look over the targets labeled (C1 - C15, G1-12 and so on) I do not understand why most of the readings indicate...

    My 10DD is dying I am sorry to say.

    Well I just got off the phone with Whites support and they confirmed what I already suspected - my 10DD is on it's way out of service. And once again, Whites stepped up and are putting a new one in the mail in the morning. Look folks, support really does not get any better than that I am here to...

    Found a keepsake for a local park user.

    I was detecting in a park a few months back and a man with a couple dogs walked up and asked me about detecting. We stood there and talked so long that the dogs got impatient and he had to go put them in his Explorer and come back to finish out chat. That day I was using my Garrett GTI 2500 but...

    All I can say is WOW!!

    I came across a Garrett GTA 350 on Thursday for $40. I did a little research on it, grabbed the phone and begged the man to hold it until I could come by and pick it up on Friday afternoon. He agreed and took down his classified posting and I was by his house to pick it up around 5:15 on Friday...

    Whites support is 2nd to NONE!

    In case you have not been following my V3i wireless headphones thread I felt this one deserved its own message. Buying from Whites is just a good idea and here is proof. (copied from my prior message, regarding possible defective wireless headphones) I am IMPRESSED!!!! I AM COMPLETELY...

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    Last night while detecting on the beach I noticed my headphones were popping more often than they normally do. Once or twice a hunt I normally will hear a loud pop like a popgun in them. It is not horribly loud put is loud enough to not be missed. It reminds me of an AM radio when there is a...

    Detecting made the online national news!!

    I just saw this on MSN.com and thought you may find it interesting. http://money.msn.com/saving-money/article.aspx?post=95e45468-fc44-409b-a461-d9c64181f702&GT1=33026 You may want to hit those spots you have been thinking about before the folks now marching down to their local retail outlets...

    V3+1 and DX-1 - odd pinpointing at times

    I have a V3 that was upgraded to an i. The unit is coupled with a Sunray DX-1 probe and I do enjoy it much more than the other probes because I never have to remove those lovely wireless headphones and lay them in the dirt for starters. One thing that does happen that I find very odd is, once I...

    Operating the V3 without a coil connected

    This may be a dumb question but I have to ask. Over the years I have come across technical gear that is covered with warnings - DO NOT operate this unit without the antenna attached. Some of the warnings are quite rabid, and others are very suttle, but warnings none the less. In the case of...

    Charging XLT batteries with a V3 charger

    I probably know the answer to this question because I have not tried but............. I got two rechargeable batteries with a used XLT I bought a few months ago and just sold on another site. Unfortunately I did not get a charger so I could not test these batteries so I kept them and did not...

    The "V" is getting the job done - got a ring last night!

    As you all know I am on my second week with my V3+i and it has been pure heaven. I like to hunt a park that sees little use in the hills near the beach here in Southern Cal. I have been all over this park first the GTI 2500, then the XLT. I have done side by side tests of each machine, depth...
