Wow what a machine - prior to the CTX I had never used a minelab machine so the learning curve was substantial. Was pretty frustrating until I ran accross Gonehunting's video on how to program his open combined settings. Gonehunting's program made all the difference in the world for me - patience is the key and lots of it but after much perserverance I have prevailed - the CTX is not in my opinion any deeper than other machines out there but the accuracy and the ability to target and identify multible targets is unreal - the target trace is awsome. The ability to pick out good targets in trash is amazing. I am finding amazing items lately in areas where previously was very frustrating. In the past two weeks I have found 2 morgans (1883S and 1893) a 1900 barber quarter, 1831 large cent, 1900 barber dime, 45 civil war bullets and a cleaning jag used to clean muskets and several other notable relics - all these in an area that has been absolutely pounded by metal detectorist. If you get a CTX or have one coming the first thing I reccomend is to look up Gonehunting's video on the open combined program - you will be glad you did. Minelab ought to be paying Evan for his knowledge of this machine. Let's face it if you medal detect you gonna dig up your fair share of trash but my trash to keeper ratio has greatrly changed for the better.
