    Pattern for Gold Rings

    Quick Question: Since I have never found one myself I was curious what patterns you guys have seen on the screen when you are over a ring. I know they are mostly in the foil range for TID but do they look solid like a coin or more of the dispersed pattern? Thanks!

    Found about 8" down no idea what it is

    Any ideas on what this could be? About 8" down and registered as a 12-35 on the CTX.

    Any ideas on this item?

    Digging where some of the civil war armies passes through I had sort of a strange find. It was about 8" down. I don't think it is really old but it does look less than modern. It rang up as a 12-35 on the Ctx3030. The words say Pat Pending

    Had my Ah Ha! Moment with the CTX

    So this started with the trip to the beach. I got to see some good clean signals and learn to recognize what to dig and what was trash pretty effectively. Today I got back to one of my trashy spots with lots of iron. Having been exposed to good signals I now had a MUCH better idea what the...

    First time at the beach with CTX

    So I finally got to take the CTX down to the beach for a few days. Nothing major but I found a quarter ring and a good bit of change as well as a liberty dollar. The beach was also covered with metal doubloons about 4-6 inches down from some festival. The best part about the trip was how...

    Found this about a foot down at VA Beach

    Pretty sure this is one leg of a ships compass... What do you all think?

    Hunting in the woods.

    I found this out in the woods and thought it was interesting. The strange thing was it was showing up under Ferrous Coin as two signals. One right around 12-32 nice circle and the other way down in the bottom right corner. I checked everything twice and it was the only thing there...

    Target Trace Advice?

    Does anyone have some good tips or links on how to get the most out of target trace? I'm a bit confused on the best way to use it along with pinpoint sizing. I know it will probably come with time but since there is snow and frozen ground I'm hunting reading materials.

    Wow People are Devoted to their Detectors!

    I'm brand new to this so I haven't developed any loyalty. However I was in a local shop and they basically told me I had made a huge mistake getting the CTX over the Deus. They sold both so I can't say it was a dealer thing. I was just shocked but smiled and thanked them for the demo. Was...

    CTX3030 Handbook

    I've been reading Andy's book the last couple of days. I have a lot of info to go but Minelab should seriously consider licensing this book and including it with the CTX. I already feel so much more clear on what the settings do and why you would use them. I haven't even made it into the...

    Find at old house site... Any ideas?

    Found a spot in the woods with two giant old oaks. Started detecting and of course the iron is off the chart. Old square nails everywhere. Some old bricks and crockery on the surface as well. I also found an old mason jar lid with the white porcelain looking insert still intact. However...

    Help ID from Hunt

    Hello! Had a hunt today at an old house place with my CTX. Only thing left to ID it was some giant old oaks. About 6 inches down I found these two bullets. I am not sure if they are modern or not and was hoping you guys would know. It's a great spot but there are iron nails literally...

    High Trash vs Ferrous Coin

    This may be a dumb question but can someone give me a layman description of when you would use ferrous coin vs high trash? I notice on FC I can get double signal separations but many times I get one low in iron at bottom right and one around penny range but once I dig the iron both symbols are...

    Different Coils

    Quick Question! When I ordered my CTX it came with a package where I got a free 17" Minelab coil and the 10x5 coiltek as well. My gut says while I am learning it would be best to stick with the stock 11" but I wanted to see what you all thought. The areas I have are way too trashy for the 17...

    Pics of CTX3030 Upgrades

    Hey Everyone, It turns out the CTX I just received is the new version. If you're interested I can take pictures to show you what has changed. Just let me know which area you would like to see as I'm not sure what exactly is new.

    User Manual?

    Hey All, Just put my CTX together but the only manual I had in the box was the Getting Started Guide. It's only 8 pages long. Is this all that is included or am I missing something?
