I've never used another machine that performs as well as the CTX in iron, the target trace is the best tool i've ever used. The CTX will find you silver in heavy iron, just slow down and dig the high tone hits now matter if they are iffy. when I hit a iffy high tone I will circle it sweeping my coil over it, if it's a good target next to iron some where in that circle the tone will give you a more solid repeatable sound, but it can be a very small area. iron will stay iffy the whole circle. Good luck and really learn the CTX it will pay you back, Gene

I have an F75 that I have been using for the past 3 years and, you are correct, it is not fond of iron. You have to be careful with a good target reading being influenced by a nearby piece of iron. I always make a quick sweep around a target to make sure this is not the case. Also, I have dug some really deep targets that showed to be good targets at a shallow depth, but, were, in fact, deeper targets of large iron. The nice thing about the CTX is its' ability to track more than one target simultaneously and give you a better idea of what you are looking at.

I'm still learning the CTX (the F75 was very easy to learn in comparison), so, I have a ways to go. I feel confident that with more practice and the help of the good folks on this forum, that I will learn the CTX's language and be well on my way to finding more than with the F75.

The f75 is a nice machine in many aspects but just too noisy for me. I also havent had my ctx that long but have explorer se and etrac. The ctx besides all its extras is just smoother, cleaner and just so quiet especially on the beach and shallow water. It saves me a lot of digging by what it tells me on the screen etc.

Time will tell exactly HOW much better the Ctx 3030 is than the etrac but so far I AM liking it very much and really cant imagine going back.

I traded my F-75 for a CTX and am so glad I did, the two machines are worlds apart.

If you are in iron, there will be no competition with the CTX, it will waste the Fisher.
