FeCo Discrimination With Ferrous (Fe) and Conductivity (Co) target resolution and adjustable Tone ID Profiles, you can detect the targets you want to and ignore the rest. 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. The full LCD color amazingly displays much more target identification than ever before and abundantly enhances the CTX 3030′s underground discrimination capabilities. has inherited the best from E-trac – it has become faster, it recognizes targets clearer, searches a bit deeper, it is capable of underwater treasure hunting and its operation time (using accumulator) has increased two folds. 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.

The Full Band Spectrum technology determines a targets iron content (Fe) and its conductivity (Co).

The Minelab XTerra Pro

All above mentioned brings us to the point that CTX 3030 doesn’t have any comparable alternative. All we are left with is good old-fashioned E-TRAC, though we’ll discuss the difference between these two models a bit later. For example, the place you’d like to search through is near some electricity transmission line, which happens quite often by the way. Ordinary metal detectors get blind since electricity causes high disturbances. With Minelabs exclusive integrated GPS, you can navigate to your favourite locations and record your finds. Transfer your detecting information onto Google Maps using the XChange 2 PC application. Sometimes it is reported about a little slop that appears in the rod parts fitting together. In this respect, we’d say that it is a must to wash the device rod and coils after treasure hunting (in the woods, fields, lake, see etc.). The target information gathered and processed from all of these frequencies gives the CTX a real edge to determining a targets identity making it super accurate.

Using Pinpoint the device easily captures and locates the target which the MD couldn’t detect earlier. After that carve out a soil divot with a spade and put a coil into it – now the detector will clearly display all the information it gets.Another plus is that this characteristic allows working on highly mineralized soils, where single frequency MDs are of no use. 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. 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 Smart functions (Sensitivity, Noise Cancel, Audio, Ground Balance) and a customisable User button allow fast changes to your most used controls while detecting. With a full colour LCD and advanced Target Trace discrimination you will find more treasure, even amongst junk littered areas, in all ground conditions.
