Hello All: haven't Posted in a while. Been working a lot to Pay for my Trip to Australia(end of Nov). My Question is , Is the CTX 3030 good enough to detect in the Golden Triangle of Australia? Going to be right in the middle of the Golden Triangle between Ballarat, Bendigo and Maryborough. There are several outfitters and stores in the area that rent detectors. They suggest using the Minelab GPX4500-5000 which they rent for around $85 a day. I have two CTX3030s which I'm taking, was wondering what program to use in the outback
. So My Questions are
1. Should I use my 3030 or rent a GPX?
2. If using my 3030 what program should I use for searching for gold nuggets?
I will be hunting on Crown Land or State Parks, looks like wooded outback lands. Will be searching around the creeks and streams also. Been watching a lot of youtube videos of metal detecting in Australia, I've seen every kind of detector from Minelab GPX, 3030, xterra 705, to Garrett Ace 250 and AT, AT Golds. The Land LOOKS Very Hard, everyone uses Picks to dig. Thinking it Very Mineralized also that's why the GPX's are top Users. So any suggestions will be great. Thanks All and Happy Hunting Jack
