Most helpful review for Minelab CTX 3030
Ctx 3030 opinionHi all here is my views on the Ctx.
Have had mine for a few months now. Please note I still have my E Trac and my t2se. But what I can tell you is that this is by far the best machine for hunting in iron infested sites. I have found silver in places I have gone over many times with other machines.
The way you can see 2 different targets on the screen at the same time is a big advantage. It is just as deep as the etrac, but with better discrimination. You get a slightly better target Id then the etrac. Both are great machines. I found a very rare large cent which looks like it will pay for all of my metal detectors, and then some! If you get a chance to try out a Ctx 3030 by all means take em up on the offer. You will really like the machine.
Happy hunting.

XP DeusThis detector is not your average detector. It is made in Europe. And one thing they have in Europe is centuries of iron. This detector is the answer to iron and trash masked targets. How does it do this? With a blazing fast recovery speed and precise coil detection. It is completely wireless and very easy to swing for a full day. Is it worth the expensive price? So far I would say yes. The target VDI is a little jumpy. But the tones are deadon. If it is a high tone dig it.
