    Big thank you to Minelab and Brian for excellent customer service

    There has been a lot of talk both ways on Minelab service. All I can say is they have bent over backwards to help me with the CTX problems. I bought one last July before the update and honestly have had some issues. In hindsight I should have asked them to replace it from day one but did not...

    Need Help, new falsing issue I have never encountered relic hunting

    Guys, as most of you know I love my CTX 3030 and have been digging some of the deepest civil war bullets I have ever dug in over 40 years of detecting in pounded places. Normally my machine is smooth and at times even maxed out. Today I was detecting in a spot I have been a few times with no...

    Question about Seawater setting?

    Would like your fellow CTX beach hunters to give me your feedback on the Seawater setting. At the outer banks I tried the seawater setting and manual sensitivity and the detector runs nice and smooth up to about 26. What I am noticing is it appears the signals are not as crisp as with seawater...

    Thanksgiving day CTX hunt, set a new record in the bullet patch

    Spent 3 hours in the same place I dug the 16" bullet I had video of on here and YouTube. The last hunt in there with the CTX set a record of 16 bullets plus misc. percussion caps and lead. Today in less than 3 hours I got 21 bullets plus percussion caps and melted lead. I think there may be...

    Anyone done their own rod mods for the Garrett AT pro?

    I know plugger and Anderson made one but did not appear to do the trick totally. A friend of mine did one that seemed to work better but was wondering if any of you creative guys have discovered a way to make this great little detector even better by better balance, thanks Jerry

    Finally got this thing posted, sorry if the quality is not great but I was using my phone, it was getting dark but I wanted to capture the depth I am getting in really good soil. Did this back at the end of September and just figuring out how to get it off my phone. I was using the relic...

    CTX beach hunting Observation and questions

    Finally made it to the outer banks to test the new coil on my CTX. Without a doubt it is much smoother with the new coil, really a different machine all together. Poor conditions so very few targets but did notice an interesting observation that Jason in TN mentioned. We have without a doubt...

    Question about FE35 mode, civil war nails bleed through as good targets?

    Today I was detecting in 35FE since so far this is as close to having it behave like I was used to my explorer in ferrous mode with the wide open screen. With my explorer I never dug cut nails but today I was getting fooled by deep nails. I went to screen option two and they still rang like a...

    need a good high iron civil war camp program

    I have a small civil war camp that targets are scarce, the small area was covered with tin cans for years. It was cleaned up but needless to say it is wall to wall particles of trash including civil war iron. Any guys out there with a good program for this and/or homesites. Thanks fellow ctxers.

    how much deeper, dfx compaired to v3 an vx3

    DFX was a good machine but for some reason White's chose to remove the boost feature of the xlt and previous eagles and spectrums. For the life of me I don't know why just know I could never get more than about 8" out of it. I do know now that I think about it, it has less than 10 volts of...

    ctx coil replaced, much smoother on VA salt beach

    Made it to the beach for a short spin after replacing the coil. Although conditions were bleak it performed like my old explorer. I tried many settings and hands down auto+2 or 3 worked great. I had the sensitivity on the front screen and it was running 28 or 29/19-21. When I tried manual...

    Anyone put a sovereign in a nice style waterproof case that can be mounted like a beachunter ID?

    Anyone done a nice mod besides Paul in California on a sovereign, with straight rod and pinpoint switch on the handle. I love the BBS and the older Excalibur's but now can't get parts or repairs and the sovereigns are still able to be bought reasonably. I also have two of them, one to mod, the...
