Hello all, The new Ctx finally arrived. And I have had just enough time to put it together, charge it up, and go out to the backyard "coin garden" that was planted when I was running a Explorer 2. A bit different. I put the sound tone up to the 50 one as I mostly hunted by sound and looking at the screen placement. I immediately noticed the cursor was lower on the screen for silver than on the old explorer, but that's OK as long as its consistent I can get used to it. I think there is better separation and depth in the reading than the old explorer. The handbook has been downloaded and I printed out all pages and slapped them into a three ring binder. I think I will concentrate on the mechanics in the detecting info first and leave the mapping and GPS etc. for later. I did get a pair of Grey Ghost Headphones and a Minelab pin pointer. It seems that the Grey Ghosts are as good or better than any I have tried. What really surprised me was the performance of the minelab pin pointer. the detector mounted wand was handy as you didn't have to take the headphones off but the minelab one far outperforms any I have tried.
I see that they have some basic modes already in the detector is it best use those now?
Well, I know it will just take some time to learn what the machine is telling me, but I am still going out in the morning to my favorite spot and Dirt Fish!
