    New Nox 800

    I just purchased a Nox 800 after having to send in my CTX for repairs. I thought they would take several months and I love to hunt this time of the year so I bought the nox. I used it twice and soon after got notification from Minelab they were done with my CTX repair. So now I have both...

    CTX 3030 ever updated?

    Since I had to send mine in for repair I asked the repair center if there were any updates that could be added. Does anyone know if this machine has ever evolved or been updated with anything? thanks for responses.

    Curious about my settings

    Ive used my CTX for going on 4 years. I got curious about different settings I could expand its abiility to maybe increase chances of finds. So I build the test garden. Plan was to test Auto 3 and switch back and forth to Manual 28-30. I measured out depths from 5 inches to 9 inches. I...

    Platinum ring find

    I was very suprised the other day with my CTX hitting on a 12.04 signal. Digging a nice womens engagement ring. Later thinking it was gold the local jeweler informed me it was platinum. I had no idea this was the same conductivity as gold!

    discrimination pattern to help block pull tabs

    At some point I think everyone has decided to try to cut out on the endless pull tabs or alum tops. I sure did. (I hunt in very junky areas) I know it depends on the age, type, size, material, and whether or not the tab part is still attached etc. But has anyone tried to block...

    CTX 3030 software issue

    Today I logged on the minelab XCHANGE2, plugged in my 3030 the screen on the right side shows my search programs but it doesnt allow me to edit anything. Since its much easier to do the editing over the computers screen I wish this would work. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? Appreciate...

    hunting in rocky environment

    Can anyone tell me what hunting among rocks (small pebbles to larger ) does to the sensitivity of the 3030? Does this reduce the depth? Do the rocks somehow deflect the signals? Do they cause more noise? Seems more unstable. I would guess soil/dirt would conduct deeper than hunting over...

    underwater detecting

    After everythings Ive read about the leaks, Iam about ready to just purchase another detector to use just in the water. I wonder if the 3030 should have been labeled as "water resistant" meaning light rain conditions, beach use. I have never liked the way the seals looked comparing other...

    underwater detectors

    sensitivity settings

    Can anyone tell me what setting is best on the 3030? I have always kept mine on auto sensitivity. Have I missing anything huge? I have concentrated on other programs and the sensitivity settings I have not had time to play with.

    underwater MD

    I am getting information about underwater MD's. I don't want another high dollar unit like the minelab (already have the mine lab CTX). Have looked at the Garret, the Fisher models. Would appreciate any feedback on how well they work salt water and fresh water.

    waterproof headphone

    Just tried out my waterproof headphones for the first time . My machine was not underwater (its to cold now). Just the first 24 inches or so. The main problems seemed to be from not hearing as well with the Koss compared to the minelab head phones. It also didn't help dragging my heavy...

    First silver Ring with CTX

    Tonight only had about a 20 minute hunt. This park is well hunted with lots of trash. Getting dark I got a good silver signal thinking it was one more dime. Digging up this silver ring. What a surprise.

    aluminum versus gold

    I have noticed that the CTX will pick up strong red signals in the lower 12 range, good signals like gold rings. I will dig and its a piece of square pressed aluminum. I tried to raise the detector and sweep which the signal remained strong, there seemed to be no breaking of signal either...

    ground coin

    I need a quick review for the settings of Ground coin versus ferrous coin. I don't remember which is better or why. Some of the programs I dounloaded don't use these, do I need to change them? ie the silver/indian program. thanks

    Has anyone had trouble with the CTX not making connection with the exchange2 site? Mine connected yesterday and today is not. The only thing I changed was something with the connect icon lower right side. Now its not connecting at all. I even tried to add a device thinking that maybe I...
