Page 41 of the revised CTX manual. In the CTX, fire up the CTX, click the center button to bring up the menus, select a MODE, then select EDIT, now scroll down to Seawater, it's between Recovery Deep and Target Separation..HH

reading the manual(page 21) it tells me not the hunt in auto sen. on beach does that mean saltwater because of mineralization ? so does the saltwater program take this into account ?and should I run it higher or lower? commonsense would tell to run it as high as I could until it becomes unstable but this machine uses different logic (magic) any help thank you

The reason they say to not use Auto Sensitivity on beaches is because the majority of beaches have very little mineralization. Without minerals, the CTX 3030 can't establish a baseline from which to set it's Auto Sensitivity levels. The unofficial "rules" I go by are..... if the coil is submerged, use Auto Sensitivity. If you are on the sand, use manual Sensitivity and boost it up to just below where it becomes unstable (like you did with your old detector). SeaWater mode has little or no affect on Auto Sensitivity. But it does affect Manual Sensitivity in that I can usually bump mine up a couple extra clicks when implementing SeaWater mode.

I run my CTX with saltwater mode on all the time. I did some testing on various different coins and found that when I have saltwater mode on, my machine is a little more stable/accurate with TID. This is in South Carolina soil (sandy with some red clay).
