    field use carrying case for wireless module WM10

    I was looking for a way to carry the wireless module in the field, and I found a good way to do it. All it takes is a medium Bytech universal smartphone case and some Velcro (both available at Walmart). The wireless module fits tightly into this particular case, so you can take a pair of sharp...

    Don't get fooled by the numbers in red soil!

    In civil war relic hunting in southern Va, I've learned not to get too reliant on conductivity numbers at the top of the CTX screen. In red soil, you can almost throw those numbers out of the window. I found that even if you get a halfway good tone, DIG IT, because even though the numbers might...

    how to set time on the CTX 3030

    Can anyone tell me how to set the clock that shows at the top of the 3030 display? I looked through the manual & didn't see any clear explanation.

    finding target in dry, powdery soil

    In the past, I haven't done much relic hunting this time of year, but with my new 3030, I've been going some to be able to use the machine. When hunting CW relics in a field with dry soil, I notice that when the target is out of the hole, it has a tendency to sift down into the grass under the...

    Pinpointer to use with CTX 3030 17" coil

    Since I started using my CTX 3030 with the 17" coil, I've covered a lot more ground and found deeper civil war relics. The only downside with the big coil is that it's harder to pinpoint and especially harder to locate a deep target that has been removed from the hole in the loose dirt. A 12 to...

    grip cover for CTX 3030

    I had an issue with the dark gray skin on the front part of the 3030 handle starting to peel off, so I looked for something to protect the handle and to also give some cushion to the handle. I went to Walmart and bought a pack of PowerFlex Self Adhering Sports Wrap, and wrapped the handle with...

    Transition from Explorer II to CTX3030

    I recently bought a new CTX 3030 and was worried about the learning curve of going from an 8 year old Explorer II to the CTX. I searched a cut over hay field this past weekend for CW relics that I last searched with my Explorer II back on New Year's Day, and in much softer ground that day, I...

    Smooth transition from Explorer II to CTX 3030

    I've hunted with an Explorer II for 8 years and recently bought a CTX 3030 that included the 17" coil. The sounds on the CTX are very similar to the Explorer II, so it's not like starting all over again. This past weekend I went to a cut hayfield that I last searched on New Year's Day for 2...

    rechargeable battery

    I'm new to the ctx 3030. I'm looking for advice as to how often to recharge the battery for the detector and the wireless remote unit for the headphones. I was concerned as to whether charging before the units went down significantly would shorten the length of time that the batteries would...

    depth with 17" coil

    I just bought a new CTX 3030 with the promotion of the 17" coil. On Memorial Day AM, I took it to a local CW battle site that was pretty much searched out. In a small area I dug 4 Sharps bullets, 1 Burnside, and 1 round lead ball, and the targets were 12 to 16 inches in the ground, with fairly...
