Caved in and got one. Air test video

I think I will stay with my E-Trac now that I have seen this vid.

Don't see the need to spend over 2K on a new detector when I have 3 detectors that do what I need them to do.
 
BH_Landstar - That video was showing VID's, not separation,depth or unmasking. How could that sway you in any way? It was merely to show us that the VID's are the same on those two detectors.

Now, even air tests to measure recovery or freshly buried ground targets to see unmasking or recovery speed, are not FBS' strong suite. Clearly the target needs to have been in the ground for years for FBS to shine. Too many comparisons made in the field on real targets have proven that.

Hey Bill, Thanks for the video. Nice having the same numbers coming from an E-Trac.

Do you think you could test some gold rings and see if you can get more depth on the CTX than on the E-Trac? I know Marc mentioned that he got 6" with a gold ring on the E-Trac, but 9" on the CTX. Not sure if it was in the ground or not. But I heard from other people that the CTX might be hotter on gold as well.

Thanks,
Albert
 
Bill, thanks for taking the time to post the video. Just got mine last night, and have been "testing" in the house. Seems a bit faster than the E-Trac, the target trace and tt pinpoint are amazing. Just gotta get the thunderstorms to stop for a while, and get to an iron laden 1660's site nearby.
 
My point was I don't want to be spending over 2K on a new detector (the young lady of the house will kill me for one!) that's just been released when I have 3 detectors that fit my needs.

I'm still on the fence watching to see how this new detector pans out, so, until then, I'll wait ........

I'll wait til the used ones start to show up a year down the road, and then it's got to be well under $1500.00 before I even think of getting one.

Yes, Single tone, Two tone FE, Two Tone CO, Four tone FE, Four tone CO, Multiple tone FE, Multiple tone CO and a new one called Combined. Combined provides a "bin" of targets below the ferrous line. And for those targets above the ferrous line, it breaks it into 4 separate "bins". If you like 4 tone conductive, this would be like having 4 tone conductive, and an additional tone for targets with a certain ferrous level. What happens then, the CTX 3030 determines the ferrous value of the target. If the ferrous properties are greater than where you set the ferrous line, you get a ferrous tone. If the ferrous value is less than where you set the ferrous line, the audio will be based on one of the four "bins" you set up for the conductive properties. Each of these "bins" can be resized and you can change the pitch of the tone of each bin.
