The only reason I purchased the CTX was because it was known to be one of the best detectors for finding old deep coins.
After a very short time I came to appreciate a couple of design features on the CTX that I had never given a thought to.
One was the wireless abilities and the other was how the coil just floats at a perfect langle at all times, and just lays flat when I put the detector down.
Other detectors I am always fooling with the tension and angle of the coil.
I am kind of OCD about a perfectly flush sweep.
Anyway I purchased the Coiltek 10x5 and immediately noticed because of the cable design that it would not lay flat and it put the cable in a bad pinch.
I remembered the Anderson shaft had the slot for the cable up higher on the shaft, so I decided to give one a try.
My Anderson Shaft showed up today and I was pleasantly surprised.
Not only did it work just as I had hoped but the quality of the shaft was better than I had imagined.
The shaft feels very strong and has a more smooth finish compared to the stock shaft so that it slides in and out of the upper shaft much better.
My coil now lays flat when the detector is down, and goes back into the perfect sweep angle with no fuss once I pick it back up, just like the stock coil.
Happy camper!
