CTX vs. Explorer II in Mineralized Ground?
- Thread starter smgorsch
- Start date
I also had the exp 2 for years then moved to the CTX 4 years ago my soil is medium mineralization not hot . The different of the two detectors that I have noticed is the CTX turns many signals that the exp 2 called iffy as good .
Another words it's a lot faster and easier to identify good signals from bad targets .
Running in hotter ground or ground with many nails and iron which is basically the same as hot ground the CTX runs hotter than the 2 .The exp 2 well be sparky and more falsing than the CTX . I can always crank sence up higher with the CTX than the 2 another words the CTX well run quitter than the exp 2 .
Also by enabling seawater mode I can crank the CTX higher than by not having it enabled and still not have it as sparky as the exp 2. The reason why the CTX is better than the 2 is I can run hotter get better target IMF and faster deciphering of iffy targets and all targets which lets me cover more ground than the 2 in the same amount of time.
I have ran the pair the same since I got them .open screen iron mask for the 2 and open screen ferrous coin for the ctx my results are deeper coins with the ctx than the 2 more ground covered in the same time less noise falsing and erratic signals in the same ground.
Everbody compares there detector to the ctx my will do this better than the ctx it will go deeper separate better but in the end the ctx is the best around detector that you can buy why do you think everbody compares there detector to the ctx .
So to get a accurate comparison from the two in your GROUND I would try to rent one or have somebody that has one and do it myself see what the results are and make my decision . All that said 46 years detecting I can say I have not used a detector that's this good compared to the others . sube

Smgorsch, I really can't relate to your hot ground but I can think of plenty of times when my smooth running EXP II was rendered useless due to EMI regardless of what coil or sensitivity I was running. Needless to say, I really miss coil selection and the X-1 probe, but the overall usefulness of the ctx in difficult areas, IMOP, exceeds the abilities that my EXP II could offer me. I don't have any doubt that the CTX could handle your difficult ground without compromise. JJ.
