Hit Gold! Ironman told me not to dig anything that read 6" or less. Had been digging 12-16 signals using the 17" coil that were reading 6"and was finding can slaw between 4-6". Got a 12-16, but it was reading at 9". I was using the 17" coil. Dug down a little over 6" and sold gold, figured it was gold anodized aluminum, about the size of a nickle. Then when I picked it up it was heavy. Didn't have my glasses on. Waited till Ironman got close and said I think I got gold. He looked and said it stamped 14k. After a little rubbing the dirt off it says "Love Always Jill" on the other side it has 12-25-67.

Job well done! You need to develop a gold dance for future gold finds, or at least a loud gold holler. I had no idea you struck gold until we were leaving for lunch.

I bought my new CTX3030 30 days ago. Very few CTX owners post here any more. Lots of good archival stuff. Did they all buy Nox 800 or XP Deus detectors?
Same with other forums. Actually this is the best forum for CTX info. It is just older stuff. Which is not bad, because CTX info is pretty timeless. Just wondering.
Mine finally gave up the ghost after many happy years. Its does some things no other ones will do. But another one is too much money for a machine that will not let you adjust on site is simply archaic today. The Manticore which is a EQ with a 12 line in the much anticipated "New 3030". It is nice to know their repairs have improved I guess.

There would need to be a whopper of a machine to replace the Ctx, we have highly mineralized ground and this machine cuts right thru and gets the goodies. I hunt in places with emi and still get great depth.

Still here also. I’ve had my ctx 3030 about a year now I think. I haven’t been out that much, and really nothing to post. Life gets in the way working 12 hr night shift. From what little time I’ve used my ctx I really like it. It’s similar to my Etrac and I took to it quickly. I’ll get out soon again and post my finds weather it’s a coin or pull tab. For now I enjoy my fellow detectorists finds. H/H
