Quick 30 minute silver - and dropped the CTX bomb!

[Scrappy]

A site I thought was cleaned out by my T2se came back to life when I dropped my new CTX3030 to the ground. In 30 minutes I found a Merc and another dozen wheaties. I now need to go back....

I love my T2 but this CTX just blew the ground to pieces. I am floored with the performance on ferrous, rocky grounds

Happy holidays

Nice Merc.

Curious, how deep was it?

Nice Merc. Curious, how deep was it?

About 7" of ferrous, rocky, trashy NJ soil. Rang out like a shot at 12-43.

 

[WHADIFIND]

I see, nice.

You damn traitor! I never expected this from you lol. Just kidding bro I'm happy you found a couple keepers my friend. Happy Holidays

 

[Scrappy]

Hahaha! Abe!

Any site that's old I'll grab my T2 first ol buddy. I got the CTX for my trashy park hunts, evening hunts (backlight), fun in the water should the moment arise, and for the tricky NJ soil. Let me put it this way: any area I hit with both detectors will be left a barren wasteland with no silver nor old copper!

Tell u what invite me to Maine and you can use it! Lol

Happy Holidays

And don't forget that shilling of yours has a perfect hole for an ornament you lucky *******!

Now you see why so many people love it so much! The only people who call the CTX "hype" are the ones who don't have one.

Ha ha yup I drilled a hole in the cob too and they're the only ornaments on the tree. I took the rest down lol. I'm a firm believer in having a few of the best tools for every different environment. There is not one machine that's the best for everything. I'm happy you have a new toy my friend. Merry Christmas

What I learned about the CTX is that you can really work the ground well with it, but for very deep or iffy signals it is best to take a whole different detector in there that will just squeeze out the signals. I've used a Deus and CZ-3D. Sometimes the CTX will "hear" them, but not quite lock. The other alternative is to dig everything even the iffy tones and dig oversized plugs to make sure you don't miss. Between running a wide open pattern and working the tones from different angles, I believe that a CTX will pull almost everything out of a site. People may disagree, but I have proven this.

Nice find, good luck with your CTX.

I agree with what you and Abe say about using different machines to eak out every last signal. I've read a lot of "this machine" vs. "that machine" and such, but I believe each one carries it's own attributes and limitations. That said, a multi-machine approach not only utilizes different technologies, but also helps "double check" a site.

You definitely have a killer combo it seems.

I feel my T2se and CTX 3030 is also a deadly combo. That T2 will hit a cut coin 14" deep!

Just got another silver about 20' away in the same pounded area.
