CTX, TRX and the 17" a killer combo

Southwind

Well-known member
I had bought the 17" coil for my CTX when I first got it a few weeks ago. I had great luck at our local city park but it was a bit heavy for my likes so I sold it. I had used it 3 times at the hard hit park and every time my first target was silver but still I though I could get by with the 11". After selling the 17" and putting the 11" back on I could tell I was lacking so I went right home and bought another. Got it today and went back to the city park and first target was silver. LOL so far every first target I have recovered with the 17" has been silver. I was there for about an hour and found several wheats and a merc. One wheat was doing its best to stay lost. I had got a good close signal with my TRX, oh and the TRX and CTX are a perfect match, then the signal just disappeared. I covered up my dig and figured it was another UDO (Unidentified Deep Object) when I felt something uncomfortable in my glove. Usually this is mud since I use open cuff leather gloves so I took my glove off and shook it to get the mud out and put it back on. I could still feel something in my pinky finger glove but I noticed it felt round like a coin. I took off my glove and sure enough there was that wheat that had disappeared.

My finds for the hour hunt.

If that were my luck, I'd load up the truck after digging the first target, circle the block and start hunting again... :smoke:

LOL that's what goldensilver(John) said.
 
So you are not selling the 17 incher again?
 
Running the same combo here,but with a pro swing 45,the Trx is great, it really speeds up recovery on the crazy deep digs with the 17x13!
 
I got to test a TRX in the field the other day... Very nice unit... Sunray/Uni-probe type depth.... It will will soon be the pin pointer that all others are compared to... I just emailed Larry at NWI and told him to ship me one out.....wildherre
 
When I swing the 17" on my CTX I wear the Minelab Pro Swing. It is comfortable and makes swinging the monster coil easy!
