    My Best Treasure To Date With The CTX-3030 :clap:

    This afternoon I was hunting a youth football/soccer field and little did I know that before my day would end I would find the most precious treasure money could buy with my Minelab CTX-3030. I was near the end of my hunt when I noticed a short elderly man approaching from across the field. I...

    Trace, How To Use It

    I would like to hear a discussion on Trace and how to understand it better, I simply don't understand what it's telling me. I have read the manual and seen the Minelab video but there is little discussion about how to use it or how to read what it is telling me. The manual give a picture and...

    How do you noise cancel

    I know the manual tells you to hold your coil 12" above the ground and use an up-n-down motion to within about 1". I believe it was Andy Sabisch's book on both the Safari and the Explorer who suggested you hold the coil above the ground at search level without raising or lowering it (if not in...

    First Two Days With The CTX-3030.....

    Okay, I got the CTX on Friday and took it out for the first time on Sunday for three hours; my hunt was in a Town park. I hunted in the "Standard CTX Coin Mode" and the first two hours I dug every target and recorded the ID numbers and the pulled target. I pulled twenty five pieces of trash and...

    One yesterday, another one today.........:smile:

    Yesterday I hit this old school and picked up a few wheats, a whole lot of clad, and a silver ring, today I worked the same school but a rundown basketball court. I dug quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, but you would've thought I'd get another silver ring. I love to find rings........ Don.....

    Nice Ring Mate.......

    Had a couple hours this afternoon and decided to hunt the playground of a school built in 1960s. They closed this school last year which is behind my back in the photo of the playground. I hunted the walkway down to the playground and the far right corner of this lot, I was told it was at one...

    Can You See The Penny Too?

    Sorry but I didn't find any silver yesterday afternoon to show you but I did find a bunch of quarters, dimes, and pennies. you can see the bottom half of dirt that was covering the bottom of the quarter lying there, but also hiding very nicely is a penny peeping out and awaiting to be...

    Out of the box, what?

    I should have a new CTX this week. Out of the box of course is the assembly and charging battery pack, but then what do you suggest? Remember, I have never had my hands on a CTX, so my question is asking what to expect and what to do to go hunting. I'm a coin shooter on land so what buttons will...

    Do any of them work with the CTX-3030?

    I am thinking about selling my Safari and SE Pro to put toward purchasing the CTX-3030. I have some extra coils plus the search probe which are interchangeable with both machines. My question is, will any of the SE Pro accessories work with the CTX-3030? Thanks, Don.........

    SE Screen Glare

    I hate the glare of the SE Pro on a bright day, especially when using the head and screen cover, which made it twice a bad. Then I heard about the invisible Shield by a company called z a g g (they won't let me spell their name for some reason) . They say it is a military grade protection...

    Be honest - Have you ever..............:unsure:

    So many people talk about hitting a 10 inch dime and I know they are telling the truth and to your success I say, "Great, good for you - I wish I could" but to be honest it depresses me because I keep hoping but it has never happened. I

    The button tells the story :tongue:

    I hit a nearby soccer park today. Half hour into the hunt I got a nice deep hit, dug down about 6 inches, and found the button. Immediately I thought, "That couldn't be what I was hitting on" and like an idiot I picked it up and checked it with the probe :rofl: then I got a handful of dirt out...

    Learning the Sunray X-1 Probe

    I just got the X-1 probe a couple weeks ago, today was only the second time out with it and I know there must be a lot of good benefits I have yet to learn but to tell the truth, I reach for my Garrett Pro Pointer first after opening a hole - I am just that comfortable with it. So, I am...

    Was It Just To Cold?

    Being new to the Minelab, I have never hunted with one in the winter so here is my story. I went out yesterday; the ground was frozen down about 3" deep. I kept getting good signals and every time I just knew it was a quarter or a dime. The tone said quarter, dime or even silver and the...

    Hunting on a hillside

    I suppose most of our hunts are on a flat ground surface, at least mine are; obviously this means the center of my coil is directly above the target at some point in my sweep. What I am wondering is how the crosshair will react when the coil is at an angle over a target such as hunting on a...

    Which one won, junk or treasure? :starwars:

    My last hunt in 2011; It was cold in SW Virginia but I was able to get out for about an hour yesterday. This was a multi-function baseball, softball, soccer, playing field. I have never found anything on these fields except new money. Anyway, I'd say the junk won this hunt although one of the...

    It ain't much but I was smiling... :smile:

    I haven't had my Explorer SE Pro but about a month and half and was beginning to think I wouldn't find my first silver with it 2011. Here in the high mountains of southwest Virginia is usually cold and freezing this time of year. But, I was able to get out for about an hour yesterday. The merc...
