The first 30 days with the CTX

[Larry (IL)]

let's say 30 hours of hunting total, maybe a little less. I would have hunted more but I have this problem that gets in my way......... a job The picture pretty much speaks for itself and I don't have any complaints with the CTX, it works and works good. I did hunt a couple of yards but most of the hunting was in parks seeing what I could find that other detectors have missed and that is why I have a bunch of IH's that were all pretty deep.

Awesome finds! Love the seated.

That's quite a haul, Larry. You had better not tell your son that you've claimed all his hot wheels toys as metal detector finds.

Lot of digging Larry. No complaints from me neither great machine. HH

The gold range covers a lot of territory from CO-1 to the low 30's and yes, I dug a lot of targets in that area, at least from CO-5 on up. The only gold I got this month is the vintage men's wedding band, it is 16K gold filled but I will claim it as a gold find

Nice haul Larry What pattern/program/settings were you using and how mineralized is your ground?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Very nice! The CTX 3030 is an amazing machine for sure.

This is the thread on the pattern and Combined settings I am using Gary. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?86,1728549

My ground is considered very mineralized but Ground Balance doesn't seem to make any difference to me and I am using Ferrous-Coin Target Separation.

Larry, are you getting any falsing coming in around 12-44 in Ferrous-Coin. Some people have reported falsing while in Ferrous-Coin Separation. I have had my CTX for almost two weeks but we haven't had any rain and the ground is like concrete. I have yet to dig my first hole. I have been reading all I could and making a few programs,. I copied yours and saved it to the CTX. Thanks for all you do. Pat

I do get some falsing and it is usually a deep square nail. There are two ways I deal with those, 1, I move 90 degrees around the target and if it is a false, it will usually go away. The second way is to run the coil very slowly over the target and a false seems to go away or break up really bad. It doesn't take much movement for a good target to sound off.

I thought I might add, most deep square nails will give themselves away with poor audio quality and off center pinpointing, it is just the few that sounds real good that I will take a second listen too.

Interesting Larry. Have you tried running ground coin due to the mineralization? You see that thread that just opened. Apparently some people are having success with it.

Thanks. info like this will come in handy in the field.

I haven't spent a lot of time with it Albert, I have tried it and it seems to be noisier than Ferrous-Coin. That is probably my next project and High Trash too.

Very nice! You did well!
