Hobby CTX 3030 Metal Detector Standard Pack

Product Information

The device has 10 search modes: 5 of them have pre-set ground balance values and Fe-Co discrimination and 5 modes set by the user. Settings Minelab have been at the forefront of metal detector design for over 25 years. Their chief designer and scientist, Bruce Candy was responsible for some amazing breakthroughs in technology. And now, let’s start from…2012. That was the year when the Australian company Minelab introduced its new upgraded metal detector model. The answer is very simple – using coils of smaller or larger diameter has always lead to imbalance. User’s hand would grow weary in a short period of time, but now the metal detector is much better balanced. Power supply If you use ordinary batteries, not the accumulator rechargeable battery you’ll need a lot of them. Eight batteries get low during a light day without using any additional options such as GPS or other embedded functions.

The CTX 3030 was and is fast, deep seeking, very accurate, waterproof and built to last however like an aging boxer, younger contenders are now on the scene. This stems from the years of dedicated research and development of the best technology.The waterproof battery unit is quite large and it is placed on the upper section of the MD rod, so this way it acts as a counterbalance. But what has caused such an innovation? The CTX is heavier than other detectors but has been designed for perfect balance. This machine is still the grand daddy of all machines but technology has moved on and multi frequency VLF is the talk of the town, not FBS and frequency harmonics. GPS Locating See where you have been and where you are going by using the Map screen and Navigation Tool. However, please keep in mind that this isn’t a metal detector for deep water hunting. Still 10 feet isn’t the depth where you may find some gold from lost galleons, nevertheless it’s not recommended to go deeper with this metal detector. Color LCD High frequencies appear to be more sensitive to detect small targets and low frequencies sense deep lying targets better. FBS simultaneously sends and analyses a complete range of multi-frequencies from 1,5 kHz to 100 kHz.

When you are searching, the Detect screen shows you all the target information you need to find more treasure – you won’t miss anything! The color display, Ferrous and Conductivity numbers, numerical depth indicator, and sensitivity panel will give you more confidence to find those elusive good targets in heavily searched and high trash areas. The precisely calibrated smart coils and detector electronics allow advanced signal analysis for more accurate detection. Enjoy the freedom of wireless audio with the versatility of built-in speaker and headphone options.Then we exchanged our metal detectors and I did feed with my own hands the difference between my E-Trac and his CTX 3030. The question is whether any better metal detectors have been designed recently? Well, the answer is yes and no. Of course, the company continues growing and it has created some new MD models. So, let me list the device advantages one more time and add some more minor ones, that weren’t mentioned above:

With multiple channel capability, this wireless technology provides reliable communication with maximum sound quality. Metal detector is designed using FBS2 technology, that allows treasure hunting at 28 frequencies simultaneously in the range from 1,5 to 100 kHz. Ultra-fast microcontrollers carry out digital signal processing to provide significantly improved target separation.

The XP Deus II – The French flagship!

New GPS functions, such as GeoTrails, WayPoints, FindPoints and GeoHunts, allow you to leave your handheld GPS at home!

We can get you set up with the best programs (Gone Hunting settings) out for the CTX. We designed these settings specifically for us and our customers. Search Modes 10 is fully customizable, including 5 preset (Coins, Beach, Relic, Silver & High Trash) The Minelab CTX 3030 metal detector was launched in 2012 to an eagerly awaiting metal detecting community. Minelab hailed it as their ultimate, top of the line hobby treasure machine. The larger coil is used for additional ground coverage and depth, typically on open pasture. The smaller is perfect for getting inbetween maize stubble for those difficult to get targets.CTX 3030 has quite complicated settings and that’s a fact. However, its manufacturers have foreseen this obstacle and that’s why the MD has 5 embedded pre-set modes. A USB port on the CTX allows you to connect it to a PC via the “XChange2” software. This allows you to alter programmes on the computer and then upload them to the CTX.
