Ok, ready or not, here I come!!
I truly love my V3i but I'm packing the box right now and shipping it off as a trade-in for a CTX standard package. (stopping to wipe away tears and blow my nose) I'm not going to discuss the deal I am getting because I know it is good, and I promised the seller that I would not shop it at all and waste his time. And I don't really want to spend time comparing the two because they are very different and great in their own ways. I'll be very honest, my Whites experience was simply outstanding. I just want to water/land hunt with the same machine, interface with my computer, and leverage the power of GPS and Google Maps. I don't get that in the V3i, but it does many other things very well. Like I said, very different detectors.
So when the brand new CTX 3030 arrives, what should I do first? Well beyond taking it out of the box, charging the batteries, and putting it together that is....... I want to hear from folks that have made the same or a close transition to the one I am making.
What differences did you notice?
What would you do differently now that you know your CTX better?
How do I best get off to a running start?
I'm an experienced detectorist, but every machine is unique so I need to know about the bumps and cracks so to speak.
Thanks,
