who field test machine used it yet, I love reading the field test results, I hope they get to use the machine of a lengthly time before they report about it, come on guys what are the likes and dislikes
 
If you take a few minutes and read through these posts, you'll see that some of the "regular guys" who tested the product have spent the better part of the past two weeks reporting just what you asked for. If you have any specific questions, just ask. HH Randy
 
no special questions, I just like to read what people think and see what they find, good luck if you get one, a lot of us are envious and have fun, thanks
 
i got one does the "matchbox test" work on anything other than iron i.e pull tab etc...

thanks

Get one???---He's (one of) the guys (Randy) that has done the field testing on the CTX. :)-------As far as field reports from us "regular guys" -----give us a chance to get 'em in our hands, they aren't even out yet.-----If you want the "lengthy time" usage before we report on it that you asked for---that's gonna take longer yet.---Patience is a great virtue! ;)

so short answer is no.

thanks

metallic properties are. It can be a nail and a coin. It can be a gold ring and a copper rivot. It can be a pull tab and 4 silver coins. It doesn't matter.......the CTX 3030 can provide target ID information for multiple targets under the coil because the ferrous and non-ferrous information for each target is plotted on the Smartscreen. What part of this don't you understand? First it was a nail and a coin. That wasn't good enough so it became a coin under a maxbox with the nail on top of the matchbox. That wasn't good enough so I was asked to raise the maxbox a half inch. I did and the test was successful. But then it became two coins and a nail. Then someone thought the coins weren't lined up right. Apparently one coin being larger than the other meant that one coin was "history" and not realtime. Then we needed to add more targets. Is four enough or is 23 too many? Who knows? I did it with four coins, then added a nail. But still, somehow that isn't enough. So now it's a pulltab and the maxbox. Guess what? I did it and it ID'd both. Target trails along the 12 ferrous line, with the most intensity showing at the conductive levels of 28 and 42. So now what? Want me to try a red 1963 Chevy Impala two door hardtop with one flat tire and a broken windshield, up against a chrome plated 5/16 open end wrench with a little rust on the end where it rubbed up against a Craftsman toolbox with the right hand side of the lid loosened from banging against a table saw? Then toss a Seated dime down under the passenger side floormat on the Chevy? Seriously? Over the past two weeks, I've provided countless pictures on this forum; there are videos online that demonstrate multiple targets under the coil simultaneously; there are several online articles written about it; even some of the other members of this forum who have used the CTX 3030 have posted about the capabilites of Target Trace, Ferrous - Coin Target Separation and multiple targets under the coil. It is becoming more and more apparent that the CTX 3030 is far more detector than a few of you are either willing to admit, or understand. If you have another detector that accomplishes all of the things you want it to do.....Fine. Keep using them. But if all you can do on here is continue to challenge what some of us who have actually used the CTX 3030 have to report, move on to another site. Seriously, move on. But let me warn you, if you go to MLO, don't expect to hassle the Field tester over there. He got tired of the crap and is taking a 10-day detecting vacation.

Yes, they are referring to our forum.
 
appreciate your help and what you do, for a lot of us its a lot of money to part with so we need to know it works as best we can from the people who have used it, its not our fault minelab did this machine realse a$$ about think maybe you need to send some of the angst towards minelab and not the punters. JMHO

soon you will get some peace when this thing finally hits the shelves.

:clapping:LOLOLOLOL This is hilarious!!!:clapping: Oh man that is some funny. Wow Randy really man... Dont even get upset. Myself and all the ones who are true believers are the only ones that you should have answers for. The ones who are doubting are the ones who will miss out. Please stop wasting your time trying to "prove" that this detector is as good as you say it is, or as good as "they" say it is. I've been following this thread for the past 2 weeks or so sitting back and watching and i have to tell you that i cannot believe some of the things people say or the way they think. Come to think of it, a car salesman doesnt even go through these kinds of troubles. Seriously you guys when you go to buy a car you dont get every little stinking piece of information down to the details of how they make the paint, to make you believe that this model is better than the last. You see the car being advertised you say "oh yeah, that looks like a nice car". you go to the dealer,you test drive it around for a while, you come back sign some papers and boom. Next thing you know you have a $400 dollar car payment for the next 4 years.Why does this happen because you trust who makes the vehicle. If you dont trust or believe in what minelab is trying to sell then dont buy it! ITS A METAL DETECTOR!!! BUCK UP, TRY IT OUT, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT,THEN SELL IT! LOL Randy i can definately tell you this right now that when i get my CTX3030 in the palm of my hands next week, i will be returning to the CTX3030 forum and sifting through all the BS(non-believers) trying to find all the wealth of information that you've provided for us in the last couple of weeks. Thank you...

What exactly did Minelab do? To be honest if people are searching around the couch for change or contemplating what bills to pay or not to pay or pawning stuff to get this machine then you probably don't need it. Just like anything else in life. JMHO. Also JMHO but I feel Randy's angst is properly directed again JMHO.
 
Gemini13, Dr Dues and Digger,

Bravo!!!!!! I so agree with all you guys have said. I have alot of agnst that I too have director to the naysayers. If thier ACME dector can do all this, why upgrade? it's a mute point to tells us why they cannot belive in this machine or the true experts who have tested it. If they, cannot afford one, then again mute point for them ; why do they care? The truth is they just want to cause issues or need to justify to themselves why the do not need this AMAZING machine. Here it is if the machine was only a 3rd of what we hear; it is already 100% better then anything I know of.
 
I for one believe it when you say the 3030 opens a whole new world of detecting, and when I can scrape up the funds I will order one - based solely on what you say.
 
they have gotten ridiculous....blame Minelab, they got what they wanted.....The only Minelab I use is the Excal since that is what I do, water hunt......I know the machine and that is what really matters. HH
 
Wow, the CTX-3030 can most definetly find 1 thing for sure....and thats every naysayer who has an account on the forums!!! I can't believe all the crap that I am reading about "it can't do this" or "it won't do that" and "thats just ridiculously impossible" type posts only to be followed by "but I'm not getting one because it costs too much and would cost me (fill in the blank) months of my salery to get one. So heres the thing, if it can't do this or won't do that then why would you want one anyway? I think we have lots of sour grapes around here, if you don't know that fable then look it up. Finally you know why I don't peruse the Lexus or Ferrari forums?? Because I know that I can't afford 1 and that I won't be getting 1 so I don't give a rat's @$$ what their latest and greatest model can do, so I don't go on there saying that it is impossible for those cars to do what they do only to pout about not being able to afford 1.

Nice Signature. LMAO thats classic.
 
Gemini13, I deleted the wording in your Signature. I tried to PM you advising you why. But since you've only been a member of Findmall forums for 13 days, you are unable to send or receive PMs at this point. I would suggest that if you want to be here long enough to send and receive PM's, you refrain from :poke: the Moderators or Administrators.
